Oh, I thought I was going crazy, I lost ~200 medal points. I tried looking through my medals to see if any ones got zeroed, but I couldn't find any.

I found out that 10 Laps had their medals zapped to 0 points. That was 40 points worth of medals iirc.

I actually think that Newgrounds should force developers to win the medals in their games if they want them to be approved. That would teach them.

Hehe, that would be a great resolution.

Also, the author of Paranormal Shark can suck my freakin' balls.

First of all, happy new year to all my fellow medal whores. Hope you guys had a great time yesterday =)

I just got 5 million points and I didn't get the medal, so I tried dying 30 times and I didn't get that one either. So don't go for the new medals, they don't work (yet).

I found Dash Hopes 3 to be completely retarded, and considering it seemed to be engineered just to try and kill the DJ rather than be a piece of music with some story, I had to settle with just simply passing it. It wasn't even remotely enjoyable.

Eight Circles DOES exist. It's the track to the left of Dash Hopes 3 EX, and it's 1:08 long. I can't beat it yet, I tried it a couple of times but the middle part is insanely hard. In Dash Hopes 3 the timing isn't that hard, so it was just about pressing the right color. I think it took me 10 tries max.

Oh, and I rofl'd heartily after hearing Dash Hopes 3 EX xD

Haha, yes, by far the best part of the game =)

To my understanding, playing on crazy difficulty and scoring a 95% or better nets you all the clear stars on any particular song. Is there something else that's going on? It would have saved me a lot of time trying to get 95% on Monotune - Survivor.

I don't think you need to score 95% to get the maximum clear stars for a song. What I did was just beat every song on the 3 difficulties (I have them all A+ and better) and that was enough. I got 79 clear points with 2 tracks left to beat on hard mode. I'm almost sure it wasn't a glitch that gave me too many points or something, I just think the maximum points you can get is 83. Maybe Queenofbabes (or someone else who beat DJManiax completely) can say how they did it, and what scores they have?

you have not got the medals because the game is still in version 1.8, you must wait for the new version as soon as the administrators approve it.

Well fml, I think I may have read that as Fight Circles lmao (I'm not near my desktop to check atm). That would make more sense. Yeah, that one is harder. Honestly though, it wouldn't be hard for someone who has a musical history (I've had my fair share of piano, violin, and Rock Band 2). And yes, I still hate Dash Hopes 3 because it's pretty nonsensical.

Does anybody know if the newly added medals for Paranormal Shark Activity have to be earned in one game? Or is it based on a total number you've earned for that medal? Because I'm pretty sure I might not be able to get most of the medals in one game.

I'm pretty sure the stats you gain during the game don't stay saved after you get eaten by the shark. You'll need to do it all in one game I'm afraid.

But wait a minute, the game saves how many times you are eaten by the shark as long as you are playing in one sitting without refreshing the page, so maybe he's doing the same for a few other medals. You can only hope!

Thanks! It was 50 points for all four medals, which is exactly how many I lost. At least they didn't take a while to get. But why did they get zeroed?


See my news post with medal hunting links and tools. I made a program NGMedals that finds your statistics and unearned medals.

There is also a browser script.

Maybe they decided that the game was a bit too crappy and simple for medals. Well, it IS short, but pretty OK for its length. IMO there are worse games with approved medals

No, only the death count is carried over. Everything else is within one game only.

Does anyone know what it means to have your level recovered in the designer in Line Runner 2? Sorry to spoil the secret medal and all, but it's not like I know how to earn it.

Thanks! Do you spend like an hour on each secret medal for every game trying to come up with a way to get it?

Yeah, no. That dude clearly has no idea how to judge the number of points his medals should be worth. "Insanely hard" should always be 100pts.

So I just finished up the last medal in Santa Can Fly. Am I the first to stick it out?
