Now, let's see if the medals work for it this time...

One works, so far.

It sucks, but all medals are worth 5 points each.

Looks like they're working on my end, but they're not worth much. Only five points each and it seems they're not that easy to obtain. Except for the one that merely requires you to press shift.

Pipe minigame medals are borked. Still have yet to do the level pack medals and the boss survivor challenge medal.

Is anyone else getting mad stuttering in this game after playing it for a while? I'm using Firefox if that matters.

Yeah I am, it's too shitty to play. I was playing the slider minigame and every time I tried to move a tile the game wouldn't register my clicks and the tile wouldn't move.


Insert useless information.

I have to say, I am sorely disappointed in the newest Shift game, for a number of reasons. I had to refresh 3 times while playing through the campaign, and the game skipped the cutscene for chapter 3 and the first level of chapter 4, and jumped me straight to level 2 of chapter 4 which was unbeatable because I hadn't beaten level 1 of chapter 4 yet. When I finally got to the timed escape, I only had two levels until it jumped me to the end. The second one says "4 more rooms" and after I finished it I was done.

Having finished the Classic levels (and you must beat both classic level packs for the medal, not just the first one), level 11 of the first Classic one is highlighted in red for some reason. The pipe game doesn't hand out medals, and the slider one is broken. And after all of that, the medals (which are almost all non-trivial) are all worth only 5 points. I just voted it a 0.

The third level pack looks really challenging, and "winning" the boss battle means lasting 240 seconds. Aside from that, I'm done with this game barring some SERIOUS bugfixes. And yes, I'm also leaving this as my comment on the game.

I just finished the Rock Solid level pack. I like to think of myself as a puzzle adept, but that medal definitely isn't worth the effort of 5 points.

Pipe Maze minigames are still borked. Actually they seem to have their own set of glitches, even though every time I've been able to complete them.

I've sent a PM to The-EXP about the issues. Hopefully he'll get the fixes in, and everyone can be happy =)

Decided to give that new Shift game a try too. You guys are right, the lag and buggyness are terribly annoying. However, I think that the medal scores still have to be changed. It has happened before that a medal's score first was 5 points, and a day later it suddenly was 100 points.

0 point medals.

Also, just played the new Shift game and I'm really disappointed about all of the bugs that are still yet to be fixed. The game would just suddenly freeze up on me whenever I get near to the exit door and none of the medals sent for me even though I've completed the game, only the 'Inversionity' medal was sent. The medals should really have more value than a mere 5 points, it just takes the challenge out of the game.

This is probably one of those situations where it is better to try to get it first rather than stare at other people's profiles for clues. Just saying.

Phew, I thought I was the only one. I didn't bother posting it here since I thought there may have been something wrong with my computer. It seems like it's happening more often for me since whenever I visit my userpage my medals were blank and only had the words 'achievement' written across it. I don't know if this might relate to the upcoming redesign but hopefully this issue gets fixed.

This happened to me.. except its made the game unplayable as after every few levels it puts me back to the main menu/level select screen. Brilliant.

On one of the levels of the first chapter I was at the top of the screen trying to move a block in Shift mode, the game glitched and lagged a little, and all of a sudden I was thrown through the box I was in to the opposite side exactly where the exit was, so the game basically helped me finish the level by glitching.

It worked perfectly :) Thank you!

Now can someone tell me the requirements to getting "pwned by the game" in iceboy?

You know that level early on where there's a button above you and a button below you when you start, and the solution is to hit the button above to free up the exit and then walk down to the exit? Instead, drop down and hit the bottom button.

The Pacifist medal in Cat Astro Phi is driving me nuts. Which level did you guys do it on? I opted for level 2, but something somewhere keeps dying. The last room in level 1 is super gay, and level 3 is impossible, not including the boss.

I'm missing pacifist and the speed run medal. I gave up on level 1 for Pacifist because of the part where you have to go south along a hallway and then turn either way, because something always seems to be heading up the hallway before I can get to the end of it. On level 2 it's probably the room with the turrets where something dies, because those horizontal channels are long. I know I got that far three times and had to restart because something got shot.

Also, did anyone else figure out that you can completely ignore the intended level structure for level 2 by just blowing holes everywhere you want to go? I don't know whether it speeds things up, but it certainly makes it easier to get around over time.
