What's with all the zero-point medals lately? I have a list of 15 games so far that you guys have posted. Is there just a gigantic backlog in the approval queue or something?


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.

Regarding Iced Over, the secret medal is now worth 100 points instead of 10. And the author said he will lower the requirements once he plays the game since it's so hard. All this because I sent him a PM about it.

This game was for the Newgrounds Jam. They had a time limit. Quoting the author:

At 10 hours ago, Skeik-Sprite wrote: That was a major oversight on my part. As I was making the medals I wasn't paying much attention to the difficulty or the point amount, because I only had 15 minutes left to submit the game due to the game jam deadline plus I had bugs to fix.

Thanks for pointing this out and I think I might lower the point amount in the future. At the moment I've put the award to 100 points and I'll go back and test it to see what would be a more reasonable score. Thanks for the insight.

Over 9000 is too much.

the medals are worth 0 points.

Games that are of so bad quality that don't deserve medals, get 0 point medals.


The Review Request club, the Blammers List (update every 15th), and the Protectors List (Update every 1st). My sig has it all.

BUZZZ! WRONG!
In fact, I have no idea why some medals are worth zero points (probably because of some API errors), but that reason is not correct. There are several 0-point medals that aren't too bad. As in, Cap Stack.

Medals are worth 0 points if they haven't been approved ( yet ). Each medal you make has to be approved by an admin, if the game isn't good enough or if an admin hasn't had time to do so the medals will show up as 0 points.

Great, now I'll get all these insane medals :D

And am I the first to obtain a unapproved medal from this game? I think I got it randomly, but I won't spoil this medal because I believe it is secret ;)

The new changes, or updates, are now working. They had to be approved by an admin first.

It's not so bad. The only really hard ones are the two bomb medals, 200 streak and 5 mil score. Near misses are pretty trivial with jetpacks, and the rest are pretty straightforward.

Guaranteed I'm late to the party here, but Solar Strike has got to have the worst control scheme I've ever seen.

Just saying.

The sad thing is that they are a little better than before. Not much, but a little better.

Aside from the bubbles being invisible, that mode is the same as normal mode. Just remember the general area the bubbles are in and you should do fine. And watch out for corners, where some bubbles may lurk behind.

I'm aware of how the AI works. I abused it to great advantage for the difficult course =P Just show yourself around a corner, back up, then pew pew and watch bubbles die. The problem comes when there are huge open areas, and the small little bubbles turn into ruthless assassins.

Edit by way of posting:

Just got the invisible challenge medal! Constantly inching forward for those white areas works pretty nicely in case there are bubbles that you missed... until the bubbles get too strong to take out. But you should get to the 5 minute mark before then.

Who has the medal "reach level 15" for Cave of Frustration other than me?

How do I gain clear points in DJManiax? I say this but I have pretty much beaten the game. Only one song to go...

Doing well on a song obviously gets you clear points. Me, I have 79 clear points and have a 95% or better on all but Dash Hopes 3. Nijsse and queenofbabes may know more on how to get more, as some people apparently have more clear stars in spite of not being able to pass a song.

jw, but is that "one song to go" Eight Circles?
