You beat me to it :P. Been checking out flashes today because there will probably be a lot more blams and saves than usual.

Already found all of the secret medals. Have all medals except the 'TRUE MAN' one..

The third one I can't find, but True man has got to be about finishing real man mode with a score of over 40-45 seconds. I got over 30 and it didn't unlock.

Typing out the alphabet FTW :D

Big hint: one secret medal per character.

You mean you got 30.. You need to get less.. The score is secs you took to finish.. I got 30 and no medal. Seems to be less required.

Nope, srry my bad.. Got 36 and got the true man medal.. Now I have all of them! :)

Oh yeah, I worked that bit out, but getting the location was a little more difficult.

34 seconds - how infuriating >:(

..the hell?I can't get more than 23, and I can hit keys really, really fast...not a very fast typer though :/

Just admit you made some coding errors that weren't caught, apologize, and either fix them (preferable) or move on. And give the volcano a pattern, because the only things standing between people enjoying your game's challenge and wanting to throttle you are that level, and the malfunctioning double-jump.

Games that are hard because they're poorly made aren't fun. Games that are hard because they're difficult are fun. Yours is the first of those. Unless you want to go down in the anals (not a typo) of NG history as an asshole programmer who doesn't care about the people playing his game, I'd recommend taking some of the steps I mentioned above.

Cheers

So in summary, they made the game not work properly on purpose, because they wanted to annoy the people playing it. So basically, we were all correct in calling them assholes. So there you go.

Got all the medals in the new game except two of the secrets. Now to go mess around until I find them.

1/50 what?

Awesome.
Anyway, I got the medal, now I only have to find the last secret one...

1/50 what?

1/50 chance double jump will fail. They went for intentionally making the game not work over making a game that's challenging on its own merits. Genuine class.

Anyway, I have secret medal 2, it's 1 and 3 that are eluding me. Any tips that won't quite count as spoilers?

Ignore that, I found them all. Onward and upward!

I initially thought so, but the truth is that the DJ ALWAYS works if you jump in the air, but if fails 1/2 times (seriously) when you try to make a "complicated" jump, if you know what I mean.

Well, yes...about 1, at least (dunno about 3 yet)...
Hard tip:
"White in red"
Easy tip:
"Breaking point"

This Pico game seems to be like one that is going to be incredibly annoying to get all the medals for and I probably won't be able to do it.

Nah, it's actually really quick. It took less time to play it and get all the medals than it would to write a guide for it.

What time do you need for the true man medal? I have only been able to get 31.

35-6, I think.

36 has been confirmed, we just need someone to play and get exactly 35 to figure out if it's more than 35, or 35 or more. I did it with 40, so my experience really doesn't help any.

Well, I did get exactly 35, so I guess the official number is "35 or more".

How? There must be some fucking secret, because on the weight lifting part it seems to crawl. I have no fucking clue how to make it go fast. It just won't happen.

I can confirm it has to be higher than 34. Looks like 35 it is!

can someone PM me with the secrets' locations on the new game?
since i'm a sloooooow typer, i can't get a good score (fuck you Nene) and i can't get past Pico on hard mode (fuck you too >:/).

1) For the hard version, the typing part is just the alphabet. Memorize the pattern and you should be able to get by.
2) For Pico on Hard, use the pointer finger on your left hand for the "down" arrow and the pointer finger on your right hand for the "up" arrow. alternate between the two. The meter flies.

Erm, you can't get the secrets in Easy mode..sorry man.
By the way, I really need help with the "Oh Snap!" level on Dragon Boy..there are near-invincible enemies EVERYWHERE, so I cannot hide in a corner and wait for my guys to kill them, I can't face them, even as a fully-equpped level 43 character, so what the heck do I do?
I'm pretty tired of level-grinding, I think 3 hours should be enough for someone to be able to beat that damn level >:

Attack an run. Hopefully your healing ability is high.

Oh, I remember what level that is now. You need to get yourself behind the log at the bottom, so you're protected from them. Then you lure them back and pick them off one by one.

Well, turns out I was wrong. Here's what I said in my Dragon Boy Tips and Tricks guide (entry 7 in my news items):

Scorpions are very predictable; they move for a few seconds, stop, aim, then fire. If you get the rhythm right, you can run in, hit them, see in which direction they'll attack, get out of the way, then move back in. Be sure to do this from a different angle than your friends are at, though, because they aren't as nimble or able to dodge as you are, and even if you get hit the scorpion's projectiles continue on through you to whatever's behind you.

And yes, it will take a while, but you only have to beat it once. So take heart in that!
