I got 24,45s in Benny's Adventure. I screwed up in the crates part so it could have been better. I did it by not turning off the fan, saving time. I got past the fan by running from the left where you get the key. There are some things in you need to do while running tough... A video would be nice. Guess who doesn't know how to record one.

I wonder why the medals for Bobby's adventure were not approved. Weird decisions.

Why, cos that's the obvious answer?

because I don't the author was shooting for that when making a game with an ox breaking into a jail

... what? What's that got to do with anything? The ox stays well within the laws of physics, despite the game's leap out of the realms of reality.

That has nothing to do with the controls. You should be complaining about bugs like this.

although jump you can not move because the controls are terrible

Whatever, your opinion.

it would be better that the author of Game changed the script of the movements!!

Again, your opinion, which the author of the game doesn't agree with.
It's not as if you couldn't get your 50 point medal.

He intended this? Well then I change my opinion from ignorant programmer to moronic programmer.

The ox stays within the laws of physics? Last time I checked, an ox (or anything else for that matter, aside from maybe insects) could not have a vertical leap of almost triple it's height. Irrelevant, but my point was that usually you make realistic controls for a realistic game and vice versa.

I guess this isn't the argument thread, so I won't mention it again. Here's hoping he doesn't produce any more games with medals.

Well, actually they all seem to be broken now.

I just won 2 medals... the where you fly 300m without using any fuel, and where you fly 300m without going any higher than 3m, so it doesn't seem to be that all are broken. That, or I'm just lucky. :)

I intended it like that yeah; thanks for not thinking im ignorant anymore. I dont know how making a game you dont like makes me a moron though. I dont like the GTA series; especially after they went 3d; does that make Rockstar morons?

Irrelevant, but my point was that usually you make realistic controls for a realistic game and vice versa.

I made the controls tricky to master because that is part of the challenge of the game. It is an integral part of the game that the controls are a bit tricky. Im sorry you cant see past that.

First of all, it's not like this is the only game we've ever played where you couldn't change direction mid-jump, so everyone stop your whining. He made a design choice, and that's that; either learn how to control the game, or move on. Insulting the programmer because you don't agree with his design choice is childish and petty, and you all know better. By all means, dislike it if you want, but don't insult him over it.

Now, with that out of the way, here's me beating the game in 22:11 seconds the way Phenom9 mentioned on the previous page. The timing is really tricky, and the crate maze is still really hard because you slide easily, but if you get past the fan and then take your time you shouldn't have any difficulty finishing in under 30.

I think DiMono's put it beautifully, and has put a decent end to this petty nonsense.

I don't know how many of you have this problem, but I HATE when this happens. There is supposed to be another wall (with a trap) on the left side, but you can't see it. Notice how the right-click menu doesn't have the 'zoom in', 'zoom out', or 'show all' option. It's one thing to remove the play/rewind or one of those features to avoid possible cheating, but why remove the zoom option if you can add all that other crap?

And it's not this game either, I have seen this problem with MANY other games before, most of them amaturish. Also, some of them have the option to zoom back out and others don't. I don't care how well the game was made or who it was made by, but when it does this zoom crap and there's nothing you can do to zoom back out, that is still irresponsible programming. And depending on the game, something extremely important can be off screen such as score or menu options. I have no idea how it happens but it makes the game virtually unplayable. Maybe it's just my monitor? As I said before, I'm not sure if anyone else has this problem, but if you do know what I'm talking about and know how to fix it please tell me...

More news on flight exploits posted earlier.

You need that stall saver upgrade in order to prevent the stall and thus fly infinitely (as physics dictates). Fuel and rocket boost are also helpful. You can get your speed up to about 80m/s if you then hold space after it bugs out.

I made use of DiMono's find that the day counter only ticks over the start of the next day to get the basic money for these.

But thanks for these guys, those medals were way out of my reach without this programming loophole.

I gotta be honest, but i don't really know what that is. I know you get a bonus for beating enemies a higher level than you. Could that be it? I'm sorry I cant help more but this is why im not answering, im not just ignoring you I just dont know the answer.

Try to adjust the zoom of your browser to 100% and you will be happy :)

Beat the enemy with 1 or more levels higher than you. Higher levels give more bonus (obviously).

Holy shit. That actually worked. I don't believe it. It's large as hell but at least I can see the whole window now. (which was much worse scenario.) Thanks! :D

Just to prove it's possible, I went ahead and beat it in under 30 seconds in the intended way. The time saving tricks are to only go across one platform at the start and let the fan bring you back, and to jump directly from the top of the crate maze to the heater rather than going down to the crate at the end. You'll see when you watch the video, I actually took my time in the crate maze and still finished in 28:28. This was my second time finishing in under 30 seconds using the intended method, and it only took about 15 minutes of dedicated trying (it actually took longer to get it to work the other way).

Sorry if I mislead you. I got the bug mode a bunch of times that way. It took many attempts, it was probably luck.

I'm not sure that saves time. I barely touch the ice zone then I run to the left. It's tricky. Anyway what does it matter...

I was distracted by the fan thing I did not see this possibility. Well done. There could be a 100 point medal for finishing in 20 seconds with all these tricks. Maybe not...

Response to Newgrounds Medals - Games and Tips 2011-01-20 11:33:10


I got under the intended time by only not getting the key, but with the new trick, you can easily get a time of under 21 seconds. The hardest part is the first 5 seconds.

Are all the medals for Flight working again? I just got 4 of them, but none of those was one requiring you to complete an area in a certain amount of days, which were the ones that appeared to be broken.

The only medal that I know of that was actually broken was the one for beating the Kenya level in 26 days.

All of the medals worked for me fine except for the 'To be a bird' medal. I don't know why people aren't getting the other 'beat the area for x days' medals.

Response to Newgrounds Medals - Games and Tips 2011-01-20 14:34:59


I can confirm that the Kenya medal is broken too. That was the only medal I could get of the beat in X days. :(

So far NONE of the Flight Medals are working for me. I've played through the whole game and got all of the "Beat country X in Y days" medals, along with a lot of others, and none of them got registered to my profile. And yes, before you ask, I was logged in at the time.
