For the survival medals, you need to have the EXACT amount of soldiers survive. If it's more you don't get them.
Interesting continue feature... Apparently, when you die fighting a boss, not only do you start at that point but you also start with the same number of units, and powerups, you went into it. Very useful for getting medals that require a certain number of survived units.

Just another quick observation... It seems that you have to get all your kills in one setting - no refreshing - for the medals. On the positive side, you can quite missions and play previous ones and that will still add to the total.

Was just coming here to post about this. I got the 1,000,000,000 point medal, but the secret one eludes me. My best guess is that it's for getting a very low score.
I just got 5027 and didn't get a medal for it, so my next best guess is that it's for clearing the entire board, but for only 25 points it seems like a steep task.

I'm going to give you a hint. It has nothing to do with anything you have tried so far. If that's not enough of a hint for you you can check my profile. :)

Well, that certainly saves some time down the line. The video is uploaded, by the way, but I haven't bothered to link it from anywhere yet.

We have covered this ages ago. Big Tin and Steel Striker work. The others you mention do not.

Sorry but I could not bring myself to read 675 pages on this topic

It's 1 billion actually, and just build up as big of a group of smileys of the same color as possible, then click on it. It wouldn't surprise me if the highscore table gets flooded with max integer values (2^31)

check my profile.

5 easy steps on how to get a secret medal, starting with the most convenient options:

0.) Do everything you can think of that can be done in an amount of time that you care about.
1.) Check people's profiles for it.
2.) Google
3.) Beg for a PM on how to get it.
4.) Surf the reviews to see if anyone mentions it.
5.) Poop in a toilet.

Sad part is that I really did find this secret medal by accident. Curse of the "Black Flag" (from DJManiax) syndrome in my skillz... dem true "perfect run" medals will always be out of my reach... *sigh*

I just played (and recorded) a game where I got so big a score it went into scientific notation. I got almost every blue on the screen with a single move. The audio is compressing now, and I'll encode and upload it later tonight.

My move on the blues was worth 9,223,372,036,854,775,807 (2^63 - 1) - the rest is incidental.

Here you go. I'm adding annotations now, but there won't be too many and they certainly won't affect what the video is there for.

Well, I didn't record the full game this time, only the pivotal move and beyond, but the score was significantly more impressive: 1,208,925,819,614,629,174,706,175 (2^80 - 1) for the greens, and a bunch of incidental points that really don't matter. I think I can safely say I don't have anything more to do in this game.

I managed to get an even higher score on the Smiley game, and I did it on the guy's own website which uses Mochi to store scores, so it saved properly. I have a news entry up about it.

Now I'm done with the game.

Good news everyone! I have saved the universe from evil!

Now the bad news... I never died from Goku, and I have an abysmally low pass rate for Canti. Cruel irony. *sigh*

Both worked fine for me.

Is the ''bonus that's good'' medal broken in Numballs?
Because I'm very certain I have about 40 goods in a row now.


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

It has to be 6 on the same level, not just in the same difficulty. You have to do it on Bonus level 10.

someone managed to complete this game?

I can not do that because when I arrive at a score of 700/800 the ghosts greens are fast and impossible to avoid because they are so fast it's hard even to see them on screen, anyone knows some tricks?

Yep, just leave the game open after you die, after a while you'll get the Win screen and the medal. =)

Didn't occur to me to try that, but it is also possible to legitimately win as well. It gets difficult at around the score you mentioned, but after 1200, the ghosts come so fast that you can hug the left side of the screen and never get hurt again.

Really? I always satyed at the right side instead. Not htat it helped though, even though half of the ghost pass right through you you'll eventually get killed anyways. My highest atm is around 1500.

For all you idiots out there... Click this link and then replace 'submission name here' with the name of the medal submission that you need help with. Check the results and look for anything useful. Now you can't use the excuse 'I am not going over 700 pages". Fell free to use a different search engine if it has the same feature.

On different matter, as a product of a 3 day jam, we got another buggy game! Guess who lost over and over and then got a medal for doing the opposite? Me! Nice random bug They Cam From Nam has :)
