Oh yeah, I went to make another attempt at it, and since I kept my .sol with 5 scores over 1 mill saved, I just reloaded it. Opened the page, got to the place where you start obtaining points and, ding, medal.

So you may have to get 5 scores over 1 mill, then play again... Or perhaps the code looks for a 6th score over 1 mill to fall out of the bottom of the score list... It's an all round glitchy medal.

I had a bunch of them, and by score still got down.

I was assuming that the system had yet to properly count the zero point medals as worth zero, so they were still worth whatever the author originally intended them to be worth i.e. more than zero.

But greater than zero people saying they have zero zero point medals apparently lost non-zero points.

Hypothesis disproven unzero times.

I don't see any medals. That's it. I'm not gonna go for any until they're fixed.

I got one for finishing the game, but its 0 points. I cant get the other 2. They don't show up on the page so i don't know how to get them in game.

Are Chubby Ninja medals working? And does somebody know where to find a medal guide for Revert to Growth?

Since when are Revert to Growth's medals broken?

/*EDIT*/ Medals are broken right now, I'll be looking into fixing them. The API's giving me a ton of errors, so I'll add a new version if I get it fixed.

I don't know long long they have been down for though

I think that was a long time ago. They worked when I got them a few months ago, and I looked at one of the recent reviewer's userpage and they had them. Looks like they work.

This is the official walkthrough for the game.

Wait, you say you got a medal that comes after beating the game, at the beginning of the game after loading it fresh? Bullshit. Here's what I've done tonight in a single gameload:

I knocked my top score out with another score over 1m.
I filled up my top 5 with scores over 1m
I bumped my number 5 score with a game over 1m
I failed to get on my top 5 with a score over 1m
That took 5 plays. Then I started another game, and lo and behold I didn't get any medal when the points started accumulating. Then I came here and saw that you said you did it off a fresh load, so I just now opened it from scratch and played until the points start accumulating, and still no medal. I even have video evidence of me not getting the medal this way.

I also got a score over 10m followed by a score over 11m, and still no medal. I even started fresh, finished with less than 1m to get the Explorer medal, then played a second time finishing with over 1m, in case it just didn't like dealing with both of them at once. I've done everything you suggested might be the case and more, and didn't get the medal.

Plus you say you got it at a time that makes absolutely no logical sense for it to be given. So I say again, bullshit. The game gives out medals the first time they're achieved on every gameload, so if you want me (or more likely, anyone here) to believe that you got it this way, set up your recording software or your camera and record yourself doing it again, and put it up online. Until then, I stand by what I've said here.

Had been away for about 2 weeks, came back and scanned through the last 10 pages of this thread. 2 quick questions:

Is the super slash medal in TTB3 working?
Is the bomb blocker medal confirmed to be broken? Do the red bombs include the missile-looking ones that fly in all directions?

They do indeed. And if you do it right, it's a cakewalk. Hint: I started playing for the medals less than 10 minutes ago, and now I have them both.

Lava mode is really cool though, and it forces you to use the intended solutions.

I just love how the author fixed the quick way to win when he fixed the medals. Douche.

Well if everyone in the reviews would've kept it to themselves I woulda left it.

At least you care enough to come back here and fix them. There are about a dozen games with medals that are broken right now, for which the authors simply don't care enough about the game to make them work again.

Are you planning to add a medal for beating lava mode?

I dunno, I kind of don't wanna force anyone to play through the game THREE TIMES. That seems a bit crazy.
Lava mode was an idea someone told me in the reviews.

Another idea someone just PMd me was to have a 5pt medal for being halfway there, and a medal for breaking a particular number of blocks before exiting a level. So I've just added those and they'll probably update by tomorrow.
The block one is really hard.

I wouldn't worry about what some people think over the "Esc" glitch. It was a good idea to fix it, imo.

You certainly put a lot of effort in fixing the medals, and adding new modes for a game you made a year ago. A lot of us appreciate that. thanks.

I got them both at 0 points when i played through a while ago. I'm really loving this game! The speed run and lava mode gave me some troubles though

I loaded up the game and immediately got the block one when I started the first level. So I'm not sure what's up with that.

Also it's a little annoying that you need to rebeat the game to access speed and lava mode. And when I tried to do speed mode I couldn't move except I could make my character turn around. It was pretty weird.

Yeah that happened to me. I noticed a way to level skip while i was trying to avoid refreshing the page. Whoopsie :)

There's a really easy way to cheat for the Speedrun medal, which is right-clicking and pressing play in all the levels.

that's new from the last update where he addressed the concerns about having to rebeat the game to do the speedrun. I'm not sure if he's going to change this or not, but he's a pretty amazing author for all the updates he's done.

Super Slash is NOT working. Don't know about the dropping red bombs one.

Also, Chubby Ninja medals are still broken.
