Fishbane is a good game that actually requires you to think and have a decent amount of skill with timing.
No, Fishbane is awful.

Fish Outta Water was probably the best medal game i've played since I came back to the medal scene. I wish it had more medals, I still cannot stop playing it.

Fishouttawater is an extremely easy game that took me 5 minutes to complete. Fishbane requires thinking, timing, and skill. And it took me hours to complete. So, in your own words, SHUT THE FUCK UP.

Hmmm when did that have medals?

Well, what can I say? You think games like fishbane suck, and games like fish outta water are great. I'm not surprised why your own games are mediocre, and why your medals were never approved.

Fishbane is also a game in which your scores can show marked improvement with more thought, practice, better timing and route optimization, and the mental reward for finishing Fishbane is infinitely greater than the mental reward for finishing Fishouttawater. It's a much, much better game, or I wouldn't have devoted 2 hours to my speedrun of just the last level.

Hmm Red Storm 2 and Red Storm Robot Day are separate games and both have medals?

When you press space to advance a level he calls it "rushing". You probably have to accumulate a certain amount of points by making levels appear quicker.

We're talking about Red Storm 2: survival not the Robot day version of it.

Yes, I already got 3 of them. I died on level 10. Level 9 was actually really easy you just have to block the game over and the rank goes down one.

And you guys think an inactive pixel game is better than an active game with great timing and skill.

I'm not blaming you for your opinion, but you sure are to mine. So, fuck you.

They all work, trust me. I tested the game for every medal.
It's nice to see that my game got added to this thread :O

That's just it though; it does require great timing and skill, especially when on the clock. The difference here is that we like puzzle games, and you don't. There's no need for anyone on either side to be throwing around insults.

Also, some serious problems in Super Switcher. Don't pause the game. Ever. I'm uploading a video to my YouTube right now that shows why not. Also don't play a second time after getting the 25x multiplier; reload the game. I'll link the video here once it's been processed by YouTube.

Yes, i know about that pause bug. I felt so screwed when i discovered the bug after i already had submitted the game :S. I'd like to see that video of yours. If there are bugs, i will fix them.

Indeed, the pause bug is pretty annoying, but I think it's possible to pause the game for a few seconds though. O yeah, there's also a bug that let's 2 balls fall at the same time. When I was playing a minus ball fell, but it also overlapped a purple ball. I just had to block it, but I wanted that purple ball. Is it fixable? Also, when's the last level?

Super Switcher problems

When paused, the game doesn't actually stop, your gates can move on you, and you can literally have the game end. Pausing takes 2 clicks rather than one, and in a game after having gotten 25x in another game your multiplier doesn't go up like it should.

The purple ball ranks you up, and will fall immediately once you get enough points. So that's why it can fall on exactly the same time as another ball. I haven't found a solution for it yet but i will surely check this. Level 12, with very insane item rate, is the last level and takes 6 minutes to complete.

I just assumed that's how the purple ball falls; you can get it, but you have to block whatever's on the other side. Cost of advancement and such. It came opposite a white ball for me.

Thank you for making that video and thank you all for telling me those bugs.

Can i replace the game with an other SWF or do i have to entirely reupload it again? If i can, i will fix these bugs right away and replace the game.

Response to Newgrounds Medals - Games and Tips 2010-07-15 13:36:52


Zoete, you couldn't have made a more frustrating game :S

I was on level 7, I got frozen and a bomb slipped by. Shit, this will take me some time.

I think it's possible to replace a submission without creating a new one.

We like Fishbane, he likes Fish Outta Water. I can't speak for anyone else, but I didn't mind Fish Outta Water, I just found it a little lacking in things like replay value and complexity. He seems to absolutely hate Fishbane.

I don't absolutely hate it. I got 6 golden harpoons, and I couldn't believe how boring it was. It's just one of those games that makes me feel like punching babies after a while.

What I mean is, Fishbane doesn't seem to be as active as Fish Outta Water. It's too slow and requires more thinking than action, if you know what I mean. Those games I just don't like, but that's just my opinion.

Found another one. I just played the game again and for some reason my multiplyer won't go up once it was at 5. The + balls didn't work anymore, only the yellow ones.

Just have a flag for whether the next ball should be purple. If no, drop a ball as per usual. When they have enough points, set it to yes, and then when the purple ball drops next, reset it to no.

I don't even know how to put into words how sad I am to see that a game like super switcher got medals. It's... wow. Just wow. Wow. I can't even put.. I mean...

I probably put like 20 minutes into that game to come out with like 1700 points? One screw up takes you down to x2 no matter how high you are? Not to mention the set bars don't really have any number on them, so when a new level starts if you don't get lucky with what to press you're out of luck (going from 3 bars back down to 2 and hitting 3 and fucking up). 50,000 points? Really? At a 25 max multiplier?

I mean, shittier games have obtained medals, but at least you didn't have to put in 2 hours.
