haven't played through it yet, but it shouldn't be that hard. You just need to use the trick somebody said a while back. If you lose a lot of lives on a level just press escape and you can retry the level without having lost any lives. So if you get down to only a few lives you should just press escape so you don't lose the game. Still a bit of a pain, but you should never have to start all the way over.

Yeah, it won't work on my computer either. It was working fine, and then I got to level 5 and they shot like 100 bullets at once and it basically crawled. I had to shut down the page. Now, it lags like that on level 1.

The paper warfare game just lagged so bad that my browser crashed.. Only on level 4.. :( But no reason to go any further right now anyway with the medals being broken and all..

No glitches occurred for me in fact that was one of the most beautiful games I've played in a while.
The secret is the assaulter and the black model. If in danger use the laser gun and once you start the final boss battle shoot all your missile spread rockets and vuala. A hell ofa lotta points.

Had the same problem, but the medals worked on a second playthrough, for some reason.

For Skirmish on hard, choose the small map and rush to the base each time. Ignore everything else. You'll take it down little by little and eventually win.

For phat lewt, go into a red zone that drains your health and beat the big ship that spawns there. You've got to be decently built to be able to last and destroy a ship at the same time.

I didn't have any lag problems in Paper Warfare except when I was firing minirockets. When I did that I lagged all over the place. Beat it and got all medals on the first try.

Also of note in that game is that when you have the shield up you can just run into things and they'll die, which lets you save your ammo. Also also, the ammo bonuses drop regularly enough that I was able to just keep that 1000 ammo autofire weapon going almost the whole game; I didn't even use anything higher than that until the second-last level.

Fun little game, but a little too intense near the end for regular replayability.

Yes, as long as you don't use those, you shouldn't lag too badly. Although, it's best to keep a shield handy for when you do lag. Because if I didn't always have a shield as back up, the lag would have killed me.

All in all, it's a fun game. But it is very laggy on even decent computers.

There's one such big ship you have to destroy in the course of the campaign isn't it? I've been killing many of those big ships both in the campaign and the red zones...are the drops random or something?

I killed that ship outside of the res zone and got nothing. The first one I killed in the red zone I got the part. I killed like 20 more and got nothing.

To survive in the red zone, you need to have a large deal of guns and a few shell/core healing items. Because every 4-5 seconds in it takes 20% out of your shell and core. But if you killed one in those red zones and it didn't drop, it must be random.

Yeah that does appear to be the case. I finally got mine, after the 100th kill or something like that.

Paper Warfare was too easy... life and ammo powerups are too common, I finished the game with 2 or 3 lifes left. The best weapon is the Assaulter by far, the lag provoked by the last weapon is not worth it.

It really was easy... until the fourth level. The the game lagged like hell. So can't do anything until the author does something about it, so no medals for now.

Anyway, does anyone have any tips for ShellCore Command?

Put everything good you find onto your ship. Sell parts that you don't need and buy energy giving parts or speed parts. My ship had like 15 bullets, 10 beams, 10 missiles, and 10 cannons or something and never ran out of energy unless I killed several ships one after the other.

Many of the missions are skirmish type missions where you need to take out the enemy base. You can die during those missions and get instantly regenerated. The key to winning most missions like that is to collect energy and ignore everything else. Then take over the turret producer closest to the enemy base and make several siege cannons. You'll win in a few seconds.

It's a very short game. There are only 3 areas that require you to complete missions, and they don't give that many.

Actually, there are no useless parts. They all add to your HP. Just add every part you can find, I guess.

That's kind of true, but not really. There are parts that only add core and shell, and those can be sold. Because you can buy a part of the same shape, that adds the same core and shell, and a weapon, or a bonus or something. Either way works though.

I got the 30k medal in shellcore and I think I figured out what's up with it too, although I need somebody to verify it. I'm thinking that the points shown don't align exactly with your actual points, since you get points for equipping stuff and for having credits. I think the ones for credits actually don't count towards your score in terms of the medal (this is my theory at least), although the ones for adding parts do.

I think this because I had more than 30k points on the screen, and then I later bought a piece at the trader equipped it and got the medal - even though I had already been over 30k. You can see that credits add to your score since if you buy a piece, equip it, and the unequip it your score goes down.

So if my hypothesis is correct, Sizzlebuzz, you should get the medal immediately upon spending your credits on any ship part and equipping it (since I think ship parts usually net you more points that it costs to buy them). Care to verify?

Is the 2500_kill medal from Starmageddon just recently glitched? I've been blowing shit up for roughly 2 hours (Of course by leaving the game on) and I haven't gotten the medal yet. Shouldn't I have already gotten it before beating the game?

I just got that medal last week, so no.

If you play the last level, the kill count is reset. So play any other level but the last. ;)

Verified. This is exactly what happened to me but you can also equip a piece found outside the Havens. Also I love the pinball brick break type of game. I play brick breaker everyday on my Blackberry but this was as much fun. Just got to get sed to the controls.

Haha, I'm stuck on the same level. I'll keep trying though since there's only a few levels

You can't, watch the walkthrough to see the proper way. I had ~600-700 deaths when I finally completed the game. The collision detection that checked counted everything as boxes rather than the object they looked like pissed me off and was easily the reason behind the majority of my deaths and then the way that you sometimes just bounce downwards when you try to get on a platform annoyed me. Pretty nice level design though, and good luck to anyone trying to complete that game with less than 10 deaths. That's probably harder than lastman...


I tried really hard to come up with something funny. I failed.

Response to Newgrounds Medals - Games and Tips 2010-03-05 17:14:29


Just watched the walkthrough and you have to jump from the lower level to the higher level from the bottom in the middle.
