Okay, the last password is superstrong. Good luck! ;-)

You have to destroy that thing in the middle. First hit the blocks surrounding him until you can hit it, and then just keep shooting at it. When it has 4 flames you're almost done.

That's what I was doing, or trying to do anyway. I took out both the two blocks beneath the thing in the middle, and then I just kept trying to hit it. It got to 4 flames, and the big corner gems were on fire, and then apparently McGillicutty died. Weird.

Could somebody post all the passwords? Just finished normal mode and completely forgot to look at the password.

Just a heads up. If you destroy McGillicutty in Hard mode, you get a special password that leads you to a special screen, but it doesn't open up any modes for you - none, in fact. And don't let McGillicutty touch your ship, or you won't be able to shoot for a few seconds.

Thieves Away seems like it would get really boring if you went for the wave 50 medal (especially since it lacks a pause button). Note on a glitch: if your chest is empty and a thief gets to it, he'll create a new piece of gold. I let a bunch of them accumulate right next to my chest when I got low, collected them all, had over 10 and the display of the amount of gold got messed up. But apparently it doesn't really count the fake ones, because I lost when I still had a bunch of gold left in the chest. Somehow I had the highest score so far o_O and I only got to wave 24.

Also, Star Splash medals are now visible.


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.

I was at the top of the all time list ever since the game was released (last time I checked it was a little less than a week ago out of curiosity. Haven't checked if I still have it anymore), and I stink at games. But yeah, it became really boring after awhile. So if my high score kept for that for that long, you can tell not a lotta people thought it was worth playing for that long.

Just checked... #3 of all time with only 2 others ahead of me. Guess their tolerance for boredom is a lot higher than mine. :)

I got up to wave 44, and that took about 45 minutes. I figure it's going to take about a solid hour to get up to wave 50. I'm not sure if it's worth it. Each wave gets bigger and bigger. By the looks of it, that would mean you would have to defeat a 100 thieves for wave 50.

It's not a hard game, just incredibly repetitious. A pause button would definitely help considering how long it will take to get to level 50.

And, yeah, I noticed that glitch to. It's one of the reasons I didn't make it past wave 44....

Bummer. Ah well. I can at least revel in the fact I was on top of the world for at least a little bit. :)

I got to 133 before I died. I may give 150 a run, but I doubt I'll be chasing 355 any time soon. I suspect the 10 point secret medal is for viewing the entire credits after beating Extra Mode, but having not yet beaten Extra Mode I couldn't say. Extra Mode is fun once you figure out how to do it, so at some point I'll pick up that 25 point medal.

For now I'm going to bed though. Before 4:30 for the first time all week. Awesome for me.

150 is easily do-able.

I suspect the secret medal is associated with the secrets that keep getting mentioned in both credits. Either that, or it's something obscure, or it's broken. In the meantime, I'm working on a few leads. One of them is taking ferrr-EVVV-arrrr though. If I do get it, I'll let you guys know. But if I'm the only one with it, PMing me for a direct answer will be useless =)

I disagree as well, I have several of them. Though the Psy Mastery medal should probably be a 100 point medal. Right now I have 77 of them, and 99 of each of the others, and it costs almost 143k points to get the 78th. I gain a Psy smiley about every other game at this point.

Also, is the game really lagging at later levels for anyone else?

I'm at my 73th right now and I have to pay about $120,000 for it. This is gonna take insanely long. I thnk it should become a 100-pointer as well. And I'm only at 9 million points. I hope this game saves progress...

Yeah a bit, but not so much.

I'm at 96 now, and it's over half a million. And no, I don't think it saves progress. By the time I get the last Psy smiley I'm certain I'll be at 15m points anyway, though, so it shouldn't take too long after that to finish up the 20m medal. Then I just have to play one more time to get the perfect on first day and finish in under 35 days medals.

That's it allright. 225 days. I still got 7 million points to go for that 100-pointer. No, I don't think it saves progress either, since I've never seen a fortunacus game that does.

Anyway,

Anyway,

I beat you by a few days. Also it's odd that I have so many more points than you do; I'm almost at 15m, I'll be there in a game or two. I guess you had more perfect shots than I did.

I just did the math: At 14.7m, I'm almost 90 days away from 20 million points. Sheesh.
