What's the best place to grind for easy credits in 'Scarlet Horizon'? I figured it'll take a while to get 200k
credits just for a mere 25 point medal though I'm up for it.

Also can someone PM me the details on how to get these last two remaining medals for 'Quickdraw GUN.5'?

Thanks in advance.

No one should be stopped from using the medal system. The medals are worth 0 points for a reason, because they were not approved. I cannot understand how this makes you so upset. Instead there are more important things to be done, such as removing approved insane medals that authors can't achieve and medals that require you to register websites.

I got all of them but I only found one and I'm not even sure.

0 point medals.

Thanks for the PM Phenom9, now I just need to get that last one then I'm all set.

Sorry for double posting but can someone PM me on how to get the Easter Egg secret for 'Pico's Ludo Vengeance'? I know it's random and all but it's kind of annoying to keep on starting the game again since the chicken just dies out before he even pops out the easter egg.

The heck? It just gave me the medal after being hit by a normal egg? Oh well, I'm not complaining.

This. Two birds and a caveman in level 14 or below from an unknown "female" with a 15 day old account. Really? At least I've seen that name in the scoreboards recently... I'm still curious :)

Yes, I've seen her pop up quite a few times too. She always gets around 100 points.

In Gravitee Wars, Im having trouble unlocking the in game achievement for killing an enemy with each type of weapon. It says on my stats page that Ive had 0 kills with the meteor shower no matter how many kills I get. Any ideas?

I remember this problem, but I don't know how to get past it, only that I have gotten past it somehow. All I can suggest is that you try all possible ways one can kill with meteor shower.

On a related note, the other "get everything" type achievements didn't work properly for me, and for a few other people in this thread as well.

Got past it by killing the enemy in stage one with the last piece of ammo of each weapon. I had 5 meteor showers before. I had to waste 4 and get him on the last one for it to count. Got all the medals now but they were a bit weird.

The thing with meteor showers is that you have to actually kill them with it, as opposed to knocking them into the sun or off the screen. Because of their nature, it's kind of difficult. For the "get them all" medals, the one for upgrading people doesn't register until you purchase everything too.

Just keep restarting a level to speed up the drop rate. The game will drop an item as soon as the level starts.

So, JetBus:

Do you need to have beaten the game to get the time machine bonus?
If you save up money and go straight to the top-end upgrade, do you get credit for the medal, or do you have to buy each one on the way up?

Also, if you're using the enter game-check powerup-leave method, any cash, brakes or nitros that you collect will carry over, so you can basically use this method to store up lots of stuff early on for use later.

I am the first person to complete Icy Cave of Frustration! This is as far as I know and legitimately. I did it some hours ago. I still need two medals tough. It took several hours per day for a month (and some acceptable cheating). I disagree with the medals, I'll try to convince the author to change them. After all, I'm the only one who has completed the game and I'm a medal hunter, so who better than me to say that the amount of points you get is miserable.

Some tips - don't read if you are not interested in the game
There is a guide but it's a bad one that doesn't help. I will not write one. Commit yourself to the game. I guess if you play long enough you could get there. The medals are not worth it.

I got a few screenshots of the last levels, the links point to them. Not really helpful but anyway. Spoilers ahead I suppose. There are 20 basic levels and 5 special ones. There is not much difference between them. Special levels are not numbered. Level 17 by the way is at the moment numbered 18 by mistake.

I find levels 18, 19 and 20 to be of reasonable difficulty. 21 is hard. It has one of the fastest caveman, strong wind and birds. Level 22 is what I consider to be hardest level. It has a deadly combination of a small icicle and a fast caveman. It requires precision. Don't worry about the birds. Birds (in all levels where you find them) fly slightly upwards. If you wait long enough they go out of screen, posing no treat. It takes too much time, so it is not efficient to wait, except here in 22. Level 23 has one of the reasons for why I requested an option to expand the game screen (top right orange buttons). Tiny cavemen. Making the game screen bigger will let you be more precise. This level has slow cavemen and a big icicle so it's easy. Drop it when the slowest caveman is under the icicle. Kind of like in the screenshot. I beat level 24 using experience from previous levels. There's not much about it which is why I got no screenshot. It is kind of hard. Finally level 25. Do you still have doubts about how easy it is LiquidOoze?

As for cheating, I'm not even sure if it is cheating, it's more like a trick or a strategy, I'm not sharing! This game got me so mad that I will keep the trick I used for myself. Sorry about that. Remember that practising goes above all, so you would still have a lot of work even with the trick, which you can figure out by yourself... DiMono has a trick that he posted here, it has a few similarities, but mine is much more advanced and better :P

Have fun. Oh wait, that's not possible with this game :(

And I'm the first to say congratulations to someone who has completed that game. Congrats! I am really not going to try that game, it's much too hard for me.
But slow down with the medal hunting. Or else you will pass me. And you don't want that.

Damnit! You beat me to it! AARGH! *wink*
Just being sarcastic here. Congratz, mate. Make sure to PM the author and tell him to shove it up his arse.

There is a guide but it's a bad one that doesn't help. I will not write one. Commit yourself to the game. I guess if you play long enough you could get there. The medals are not worth it.

I've seen the guide, and it really lacks information indeed. The creator hasn't even completed the game itself. I've been thinking: once I finish this game, I could make a guide for it. I have a great idea in mind, though it'd require some Actionscript (yes, a guide in Flash!)

Level 22 is what I consider to be hardest level. It has a deadly combination of a small icicle and a fast caveman. It requires precision. Don't worry about the birds. Birds (in all levels where you find them) fly slightly upwards. If you wait long enough they go out of screen, posing no treat. It takes too much time, so it is not efficient to wait, except here in 22.

Wow, just wow. That's looking insane. Good thing you found that glitch.

Level 23 has one of the reasons for why I requested an option to expand the game screen (top right orange buttons). Tiny cavemen. Making the game screen bigger will let you be more precise. This level has slow cavemen and a big icicle so it's easy. Drop it when the slowest caveman is under the icicle. Kind of like in the screenshot.

Is the slowest caveman THAT slow, that if he stands underneath the icicle and it drops, you still hit him? Wow, kewl :P
Also, I've tried expanding the game once, but it made the screen go HUGE. I think it's better to actually make your browser zoom in rather than zoom in on the game itself.

Finally level 25. Do you still have doubts about how easy it is LiquidOoze?

Ehm, no. But it just had me thinking because he said things like 'Level 25 is easy...or not?', but apparently that was because of the secret medal (slight spoiler). Actually I was expecting one caveman but like 10 icicles that would all drop at once xD

As for cheating, I'm not even sure if it is cheating, it's more like a trick or a strategy, I'm not sharing! This game got me so mad that I will keep the trick I used for myself. Sorry about that. Remember that practising goes above all, so you would still have a lot of work even with the trick, which you can figure out by yourself... DiMono has a trick that he posted here, it has a few similarities, but mine is much more advanced and better :P

What was DiMono's trick again? Using the campfire as some sort of measure, right? Mmm, I never really used that trick but whatever.

Have fun. Oh wait, that's not possible with this game :(

As long as it doesn't make me rage quit, I'm good.

It's not that incredibly slow, but the icicle it's so big (just look at it) that it hit with 10 points. I'll try to confirm this. I only beat the last 3 levels once (on my first try, amazing). I will have to do it again to get another medal...

And yes, I use the zoom thing too. I adjust it for some levels.

I think someone got the Time Machine before completing Hard Mode, but I don't remember.

You don't get the grinder medal for skipping upgrades. You have to get them ALL.

Currently I'm at roughly 80 nitros and brakes, all collected, and only a few nitros wasted to get unstuck from underneath the helipad in lvl 12. No time machine yet, but I still have to grind for the 10pt medal.
