No working, senor. So it looks like I'm just not allowed to get those two medals. Maybe I should ask the programmer for a medal resend button or something.

Never mind, I managed to get it to go by continuing to restore an older backup of my save data. All is once again right in the world.


Deploy the... it's a yellow button... it's usually flashing... it makes the engines go... whoosh!

Oh man it took me a while but I finally hit the 10K mark. Now I just have to make a list for the medal games, including categories like "I've been playing that for 2 hours, I'l get back to that one later", and "Godamn I'm not going near that for a while".

Seppuku's Soul falls into that last category. -shudder-

I might not. Remember we talked about this, Tom said the game was coming out, not if it was going to have medals.

Are the adding to the point count?
Also, wow, apart from being the biggest game ever (filesize-wise), it's also quite fun...the first POM was rather pointless (all you could do was compose music)..now it has some sort of "career" mode....awesome :D

Response to Newgrounds Medals - Games and Tips 2010-01-20 05:13:20


ugh, it's a nice game and all, but sometimes it takes it a bit too far...some songs are physically impossible to play (at least with more than 80%)..I mean, sometimes you have to press 3 different buttons at the same time, each button following a different pattern..that's pretty fucking hard...hmm, maybe I should change the control scheme so that I can play with two hands...

holy shit i SUCK at Punk-o-Matic 2
and the worst part: it's lagging LIKE HELL.

Response to Newgrounds Medals - Games and Tips 2010-01-20 08:05:31


I can already tell that I am not ever going to like this game.

If you suck even more than you are supposed to (because you WILL suck at the game, at first at least) then you ain't gonna like it :(

and the worst part: it's lagging LIKE HELL.

strange fact: the game lags more when I'm in the garage doing nothing that any other time.
Medals I got so far:
Lear 1 cover
Play 1 good concert @ the garage
Play a perfect song during a concert
Collect 10 stage items
Learn 5 covers

I've got a few medals. I am lagging really bad on the game now though. It's almost impossible to play normal decently when it's lagging. I turned the quality down and it didn't seem to change anything.

How do you learn covers?

Response to Newgrounds Medals - Games and Tips 2010-01-20 10:19:01


Glad to see a new game out! Can anyone confirm/deny that the medals are awarding points? I'm still out 60 points from Tetris'd because I got a few before they appeared on the page. =(

Response to Newgrounds Medals - Games and Tips 2010-01-20 10:35:00


Punkomatic didn't lag for me at all at first, but the longer I played the more it lagged. Maybe it helps to close the game and start it up again (testing it right now)

You watch concerts from other bands.

I can confirm that they are rewarding points. Just got 5 points for learning a cover song. Does anyone think that playing in popup may decrease lag?

I'm playing in pop-up and it lagged for me as well. So: No, I don't think that makes any difference. :/

think i got the hang of it, but i'm totally lost in the composing part.

Response to Newgrounds Medals - Games and Tips 2010-01-20 11:28:14


This game sucks. I'm a big fan of rhythm games, but this is just poorly made.

It's like playing ffr as opposed to DDR or Stepmania. There's just no consistency and it feels like it misses whenever it feels like it.

Also I dunno if anybody bothered to read the authors comments, but if you turn the quality on lowest and turn the house lights off and all that, it reduces the lag.

i found that if you put your right hand's fingers on W, E, and D, and your left hand's fingers on Q, A and S, it's a bit easier to remember which button plays the note you want.

Response to Newgrounds Medals - Games and Tips 2010-01-20 11:31:40


Looks like somebody posted seconds after I did, so this isn't a double post.

Good news and bad news.

Good news is medals are now showing on page...

...Bad news is there are 26 medals for this game :(

Well, duh! I did that, it still lags. Not as bad as with highest quality, ok. But it still lags. Strangest thing is that it didn't lag when I started playing it, but the lag seems to get worse the longer I play it. Damn. :(

It's not, it's the first medal I got.

Just in case: You have to play the streaks at a concert, not during practice.

i DID get it on a concert, and hell, i even managed to go up to 129-or-so notes in a row, but no pop-up.

wonder what it is...
