I've gotten to a x190 multiplier and jumped to a height of ~2.5km and only got 500 thousand points for it. There must be something extra with the yellow gates (and the stars that show up), because most of that jump was over tunnels.

You get extra points for the number of gates you jump over, tunnels don't count.

I've left my thoughts on the 1m pt medal in my review of the game, copied here:

This is a great game in its simplicity, and gameplay couldn't be more straightforward; that makes it addicting.

The problem is the 1,000,000 points on a single jump medal. In the air for 9 seconds with a 100x multiplier going 60kph I didn't even come CLOSE to 1,000,000, and the highest I know of anyone getting is 450,000. Until I see a video of someone achieving 1m points in a single jump, I'm going to assume it's impossible, and suggest that the medal be changed to 250,000 points in a single jump and worth 50 medal points.

Also, you absolutely get more points for jumping over yellow and red gates, with no change at all for jumping a tunnel. Although, it would be far easier to attain a high multiplier if having your skier at high speed didn't make you jump when going up a steep sloping tunnel.

It seems that at least one of the 25 point medals on solipskier is broken.

Sick air, however, seems to work! The trick seems to be to jump gates. I came out of two tunnels going stupidly fast and flung myself up as fast as possible without it being vertical. I jumped over 10 gates at about 2K feet (not too high really) and didn't draw any more until I absolutely had to. My multiplier was around 100 at the time.

I wish I print screened it or something though

Confirmed. Sucks that my first massive jump had so many tunnels in it or I would have had it already.

The 50 mill points one glitched for me too around 51 mill, I think because the points continue counting after you "die." So you die at 49,900,000 and collect another 1 million while you fall to your death, resulting in a total score over 50 mill, but the medal only counts the 49 mill.

Yeah maybe. I Cant remember if I landed the jump that crossed into the 50mil zone or not. I might wait until someone else gets it to prove that this is the case before trying again though.

Well I got the medal on a massive 70 million point run... :P

I think I may be done with the game, because the points on massive jumps seem entirely arbitrary. I just had a run where twice in a row my jump was done at more than 80kph with a multiplier over 60, I was in the air for 5 full seconds with a maximum height over 2k and jumped 7 or more gates, drawing only as necessary as I was about to land, and my score was... a massive 150k. Seriously, I had a huge jump, landed, went through a tunnel to get my Solipskier even more badass, jumped again, and got nothing for either of them. Meanwhile, earlier, I had a couple jumps come in at 450k where I jumped 5 gates with a lower multiplier.

On the other hand, it looks like if you're patient enough you can get the 50m point medal just by playing it safe for half an hour. So if you're absolutely desperate for that medal, and have nothing better to do... there you go.

I think I'm going to file this game under "too tedious to get the remaining medals, but still pretty fun overall." I'm done hunting this game's medals.

Practice, practice, practice.

Or, if you have no honor, you can do this:

(1) clear your data
(2)right click and press back
(3)repeat (1) and (2) a few times
(4) play the game

Each in-game achievement you get will be assigned the same number of times as you cleared your data. So if you clear your data 8 times with this method, you'll only have to achieve 8 in-game achievements to add up to the 64 you need in order to get Master of Greed.

The medals have just been attributed to the wrong entry. It's probably one that's coming down the pipe today or tomorrow.

Man, I finally got a jump in Solipskier scored as highly as I thought it should be, and it turned out to be 55k points shy of 1m. That was unfortunate.

.... Ouch. Well I guess now you know its possible? And hey I only got it from a fluke really, I like the game though so i dont mind playing for the medals. The last 2 should be 100 points though. 25 seems a little low.

Also, can someone direct me to a list of 0 point medal games? Ive done pretty much all I can with the current medal games and want to collect a few more in my spare time.

I've suggested to fucrate that he increase the value of those two, and add some intermediaries like 10m in a game and 25m in a game, and 250k and 500k on a jump, and increase the values of the 50m and 1m medals accordingly. Also, I just got my 1m medal. For anyone who's interested, here's a screenshot from immediately after I landed, so you can see exactly what it takes to get that big a jump.

I was shooting for a 50m game this game too, since I was doing so well already anyway, but somehow I thought my skier was on the snow when he was in the air or something, and that miscommunication between myself and ...myself... caused me a crash. Still, 29m in 1:46 isn't too shabby. Those huge multipliers are AWESOME when you get them.

Oh, in case anyone's wondering, that +488,278 in the middle is a gate I jumped through between landing and hitting the Print Screen button. You get that much for buzzing a gate with a multiplier that big. Seriously... wow. Oh, and I jumped 10 gates to get my million. So that too.

Surely this should have unlocked the 50 mil medal? At the very least, that medal is glitchy.

I got it before the game had the medals... and it gave me 0 medal points and i was like Lol wut? Then It showed the game had medals about 10 minutes later and I thought it was just a browser cache problem not showing the medal images on the game or something. I also thought the medal said "50,000" at first. Then I realized it said 50,000,000 and was like WUHHAATT?

So im confused just as much as you are...

BTW just got the high air jump. I got a 80 multiplier and was going about 90. I jumped over about 8 gates. Use the blue tunnels to really gain speed.

Managed to get 4 so far. One for killing without weapons, one for killing with swords without getting hit, one for blasting someone with those flammable things on the stage, and one for using traps against enemies. Anyone found any other?
