180 points for all medals but weren't added to my score also. Pretty fun game though. I find that crazy circles that encompass most of the screen yield the most points.

I think what WonderTheHedgehog is saying is that many of the recent medals are not adding to the users' total medal score, even though the medals are worth points. In other words: if I had 20,000 medal points, and I unlock a medal worth 100 points, my score would still show as 20,000.
Well if you look, most of the medals he has gotten recently are worth 0.

That would explain why they wouldn't add to his score.

Here's what I'm trying to say. The games Target-shooting and Wind Rider give no points as well as your games. I know that those other medals are worth zero points. Before I got the medal from your game I had 54985 points and I still have that same amount. I'm not saying that you did anything wrong, just that the past three games that show that they should have medals with points haven't been giving anything and that's its getting to the point where I'm starting to believe there's a glitch in the system.

Please keep in mind that our system is still in BETA, so we haven't opened it up to the general public yet.

The medal system definitely still needs a lot of work.

I was able to get 80000 with two penalties. You have to shake your mouse really fast in circles around the screen since it nets you more points than going back and forth. It takes some practice to do with very little penalties but it is easily possible to do.

Yeah, well I was able to get 28,000. And why does this game have medals again? Make a video of you getting that score and what you did if you can. Because I am doing the same thing and not netting 1/3 of what you are.

Response to Newgrounds Medals - Games and Tips 2010-08-16 00:16:24


Try increasing your mouse speed through the control panel. It seems to help, at least for me.

Okay, here is the video you were asking for Sizzlebuzz. Just a little video of the RAW difficulty in Strawberry Shakedown. Once again two delays but a little lower score(still over 70k though). Basically try to do something close to what I did and you should get enough for the medal. Rinse and repeat for the other difficulties since I used the same strategy and had well over the score needed for those.

So you fucks can have something to do.

So you would rather have games without medals? Quit bitching because you suck at a game.

Yes, I suck at a game that requires absolutely no skill. You move your mouse in a circle. You fucking got me.

Response to Newgrounds Medals - Games and Tips 2010-08-16 02:30:55


Posted already, I know.

If it makes you feel better, I can't even get the medals on the game I programmed.

People can get them, I just sucked.

Also, this.

Medals didn't work due to encryption key error of mine.

Once an admin updates the file the medals will work.

SORRY FOR THE DELAY.

Lol if it requires no skill how can you not get them easily?

I guess some people consider moving the mouse rapidly in a circle for a minute a skill. But I don't quite consider it that. Granted they can probably give a pretty mean handjob, but still, I'm not sure I would call it a skill. You know what I'm saying?

Anyway, could having a shitty computer prevent your game from judging things correctly?

I have the mouse so fast I can barely control it. Going from one side to the other as fast as I can only gives me 500 points. Does that sounds right. My friend even tried it several times and was moving much faster than I normally do and only got 42k.

Response to Newgrounds Medals - Games and Tips 2010-08-16 08:24:28


Just go extremely fast making small circular motions.
I scored like 380K+ on Hard.

Usually on these games with timers if you have a newer machine, the clock counts down too quickly. Try using an older machine and I bet it's easier (have yet to try it myself).
On my newer laptop, I can barely break 40K without any penalties.

Medals seem to be working, but, as usual, don't actually give points. Also, does anybody else's game stop sending enemies around the 140k mark? I'm just sitting here watching my distance and money counter go up.

Must have just been a glitch. I got to about 200K i think when I saw the first boss and enemies were still coming. Hoping the boss doesn't come every 200K or were going to be here a long time... Maxed out the speed but I think the enemies/bosses still come at a rate per second, not rate per speed/distance... :(

Wierd.
That game just made me go mad into the 10M feet mark.
And all the bosses came at once for me.

Yep, saw the first boss too around the 200k mark, and I just kept going up to 500k without seeing a second boss. After 500k, there are no enemies left, so I'm around 750k now hoping to die somehow. I was actually enjoying the game a bit, meh.

Just saw wonderthehedgehog had like 8 games more than me on nglogs, and one of them I can't even get now? he's got medals for this game called pew pew, and the only game I can find with that name is the one above, but its not the same. If you click the medals, it says the game doesn't exist. grrr

Does anyone have the last two medals for clamflight? Are they even possible, the enemies stop appearing at a certain point. Do you have to wait a VERY long time?

I still can't get over 42k on the "shaking" game. It's like no matter how I'm moving it the points are sporadic and sometimes completely stop adding for half a second. So, uhm, what the fuck do I do? Just say "fuck it" and label it as a shitty game that I'll never play?
