This is the response I got from the author of the Game Trailer Collab after asking how they got the medals, why they didn't show up on the page, and why they are worth 0 points:

{There's some odd problem with the Medal API that's causing the problems.

To get medals, email tom@newgrounds.com with a copy of your game and a request for medals. }

... I hope this "odd problem" gets fixed soon.

Ugh, 20MB? I'll wait until I'm on a computer with a faster download speed. And until the medals are going to actually register.

Wait, what?
Hum, I'm just going to wait for it to get fixed...

I just created a list 0 point medals

So the programmer of Fear Unlimited Issue 2 PM'd me and it all comes down to the fact that the "Victory" medal is broken because he input the medal code as "victory" instead of "Victory" so it is unobtainable by any means and it is one of many things that keeps the whole game going and if it where to change than the game would crash.

I call bullshit TBH.

Find & Replace all victory -> Victory

Problem solved

It all comes down to the fact that the programmer doesn't give a shit.

How does a small typo in the medals part of the code "keep the whole game going?" I mean, he even knows exactly what's wrong. Sounds more like laziness to me...

Unfortunately, lazy is a chronic condition which cannot be fixed with mere pills. I'm afraid he requires a laze-ectomy in order to recover from this affliction.

Yeah, that has been proven many times..when it comes to fixing medals, (most) programmers don't give a flying fuck.
Probably because nobody is MAKING them fix them.
Deleting games with broken medals after a while would be a pretty good incentive...

All the more reason to have medal mods.

Well, I finally knocked NeonBlox off my to-do list. Annoying how you can lose a life even after hitting the disc; that ain't right.

Ah well, onward and upward.

You're clicking on the wrong thing. You need to click on the hand trigger that comes down in the scene.

No one is going to 'force' them to fix it, it's their own work. I can't vouch for Dizimz or anyone other author who hasn't fixed medals or other issues, but not everyone has one giant commitment to Newgrounds, they're likely busy, life issues, etc.

Yes, but then they should see at least if their game works...

Deleting a game just because it has a medal that you can't achieve is pretty ridiculous, I agree that there should be a time on such things though, if it's broken for months, a year maybe, then yeah. Remove the medals that are broken, not the whole game. Not everybody plays flash games just to achieve medals.

A year?Come on man, what the hell?Yeah, maybe deleting the medals would be easier.

(not too sure if you can actually remove one or a full set of medals on their own without the author actually removing the code manually.)

Hm, well, maybe they should modify the API in a way that medals can be removed without the consent of the author, maybe from the site itself, without having to "damage" the game..

By the way, collab medals now give points.Not many, but hey.

They finally showed up on the page. None of them are worth many points... they're just higher than zero. And looking at my points it doesn't look like they registered yet...

click the green handle-shaped device he is holding the second you see the first zoom-out of the explosive device countdown.

the final boss reminds me of Yiazmat from FFXII because of that ridiculous HP....oh damn, the memories...

The Legendary Key is a random drop that appears in level 16 (I think) and above. However, you do not need the Darkness Energy Charge in order to defeat the final boss. In fact, the Darkness Energy Charge is pretty useless; it is a lot weaker than the one in the original Enigmata.

I should make a correction to my original post.

The Darkness Energy Charge in Enigmata: Genu's Revenge isn't actually "weaker" than the one in the first game. However, it has some annoying limitations:

1. It fails a lot.
2. Although it replenishes your energy immediately, you will have to wait a long time before you can use your skills again. Ironically, this effect can be cancelled by collecting a negative power-up. (In the original game, the duration of the darkness depended on how long the "D" key is held down.)

Game Trailer Collab is now on the medal game list.

Okay, so I made a GTC sub-guide with easter egg pic(s)..

So do you guy who found the medals when they were worth 0 now get points for them as if they were always worth points?

Hmm, lemme check..
This should help:
Date / games / Total m. / Points
04/12/10 135 1099 35450
04/11/10 135 1099 35390

Only problem is, my actual medal points on NG are still 35390, so NGlogs does recognise it, but NG, not yet.

I just updated my Tetraform guide with better information on the C-C-C-C-Combo medal, and some updated boss and power-up information. In case anyone's curious.

Well, I've got all of them except the secret one. I've clicked on everything, so I have no idea what it would be.

I just love fun and easy medal games like this. Thanks so much for the walk-through Chris, as always you're the man.

Pretty good day! I loved escaping the prison, funny game. Only complaint is that there was no new game of the week today, but can't have everything, right? :P
