Well, I found him almost immediately afterward, and holy crap he has a lot of hit points. Man.

So all I have left now is to win 10 tournaments, graduate 60 students (cake), reach year 3 (cake), and find the secret button. Anyone found it yet?

Hm, okay, that was reassuring.The thread will not be needed after all.
So, essentially all this problem started because of these idiotic 0 point medal spam games (like beat frenchy)?

Well, if you're gonna have post-submit approval then there will surely be loads of random medal spam games methinks....

Those aren't really bugged medals... we have a beta of the new api where developers can add their own medals to their games, and then those medals start out worth 0 points (to prevent spam submissions by medal whores) until they are approved by an API moderator.

Eventually this approval process will instantly parse the list of users who have unlocked it and apply the missing points, but right now that is something I have to run manually. So for the time being, a few people will be missing some total points, but rest assured they will get applied the next time I run maintainance.

Feel free to copy this message to the medals topic and be a hero. A HERO I SAY!

Interesting stuff. So, I guess there is nothing to worry about...

So what's going to happen to games like the ones on Kevin Bacon day which got medals for no reason, and are really quite bad? Will those medals be given values and added up too?

The hell you say...

Hidden button is on the credits screen

I don't think they'll will be anything more than an April 1st anomaly

On another note, Pico Day is this Friday. Good chance of a few game with medals out by then, me thinks. :)

Figures it would be a day when I won't be able to play lots of medal games. I see myself falling back in the medal standings this weekend.

Man, it's one of those game....

Well, at least the medals work on this one. On the other hand, whenever I reach my 50th death the game freezes up.

It you wanna see what one of the secret medal is check my medal list.

im currently stuck at the pink skull... trying to work out how i do it without been eaten...

all the special medals can be obtained through completing the game... *i think... thats how i got my 3 so far* im going to asume the zero hero is doing it without dying *which im going to say now is near impossible* so far i have 1 hour gameplay and im going to call it a day untill someone posts some videos to help me through some areas...

im telling you now... if you have played "i want to be the guy".... you should know whats ahead of you...

dont be fooled by save buttons that "arnt".... dont go headlong thinking you know whats about to fall on your head unless you know... and everything kills you... have fun :D

This game i seriously gay. The double jump doesn't even reset right when jumping from platform to platform. This is the kind of game that makes me glad I don't give a shit about my points anymore. Fucking gay. Not even any fun in it whatsoever.

Actually it shouldn't be too much harder to do it with zero deaths as opposed to many deaths. The reason is simple, if you die a bunch and restart your game from the last same it doesn't record all the deaths you gained after the save. So you just replay one section until you're great at it, don't hit the next save, reload the game and then reach the next save without dying. Also if you know you're going to die you can press "r" before you actually die and it brings you back to the save point without saying you died.

also, I absolutely love how the controls are unresponsive and the hit boxes are glitchy. I've fallen right through platforms. At the smiley face that turns around I would routinely magically teleport to a random area, and all the time the double jump doesn't work.

Oooooh, kinda like what we did the Next Action Frog? That's very encouraging. Unlike Lastman.... Will give it a serious shot when I have time.

See, now why've you gotta take a shot at Lastman like that... that's just mean. It's also still on my to-do list, though I've been knocking things off it this week.

Come now, name me some medals harder than those two in Lastman >.<

I already hate this game. Having a game like this with so many movement bugs makes it so much harder.

See, in my world, Lastman doesn't even exist, so I would say Alkie Kong 2 medals are the most difficult.

So I beat this IWTBTG rip-off. The last boss is not hard at all. If you can fire fast enough, you can just stand on the top, left ledge and unleash on him to get by the first part. For the second part, attack him from the top left ledge, jump down to avoid the spikes, quickly get back to the top left ledge (far left side) to avoid his claw attack. Fire at him, jump down to avoid the spikes...rinse repeat.

On this game I made it to what I think is the boss, but I really can't figure out how the hell to beat him.

If anyone has made it this far or knows how to kill this bastard, any hints or tips would be appreciated.

Read the post above yours, RuinedMartyr. ;)

The game is not very hard when you play it a second time. Got the speed racer medal when I wasn't really trying. The hardest part about this game so far was getting 1000 kills. Thank God for suicide! o_0

OMG, I arrived at this point in the game, someone can tell me if this is at least half of the game? because I am really tired of playing, I hate this kind of game!!!!!!

^Probably not half way through. I'm having trouble beating donkey kong right now. 247 deaths in, 1 hour 6 minutes in. The barrels he throws have like huge prox on them, cause they seem to hit you even when you are jumping above it.

The technique for beating that level is standing under and on the very edge of each platform and as the barrel comes down to your level you immediately (double) jump to the next, avoiding the barrel. You do this 4 times.

Just ask if that was unclear, I'm having trouble explaining it I suppose.

Yeah, your near the halfway point, I would say. But the worse is yet to come. Bwa ha ha... :P

You don't need to jump over them. Just wait under the edges until they pass over you, then jump on the ledge and run and repeat till you make it all the way up. I used that method and beat it on my first try.

Got the Zero Hero medal in 10:53. Amazing how easy a game can get that seems so hard when you play it for the first time. By the way, the 'time waster' medal unlocks after 2 hours of gameplay, and the "why are you still playing" medal after 3 hours. Just start up the game, enjoy the weather and then enjoy your medals when you sit back. =)

Got it in 9:42. I found a way to skip some rooms due to the old "Link jumps off the screen and casts Fairy" trick in Zelda 2. Getting the 3 hour medal now.
How on earth am I ever going to catch you, Nijsse? I thought I'd be closer by crushing this game, but you're right there with me.

is there a mute button? I swear I'm going to kill myself
