I generally don't mind grinding for good RPGs, such as sonny 2.

And has anyone else survived 355 seconds in Spaceland Adventure 2's Lunatic Mode? I can't seriously be the only one, right? I don't even have the Simple Shapes Collab 100 pointer.

Ok, I have it. It helps to note that the actual hit box is only a small part near the centroid of your triangular ship. Even so, I think it was sheer luck on many occasions that I could emerge from impossibly small gaps between bullets unscathed. I made 355 seconds with 2 ice wings left, and I celebrated at seeing the medal popup and kamikaze-ing into the huge mass/mess of bullets. That's it for me for that game.

Though the medals don't show up as of yet.

My medals for it still show up under my most recent though and they do seem to add to my total score. Does this mean I now have a bunch of medals nobody will be able to obtain anymore as long as the author doesn't reupload it again?

Not worth it obviously, but I spend like 5% focus on that game, and 95% on a comedy podcast I was listening. That's what usually ends up happening when I play brainless grinding games.

Hmm yeah, that would significantly decrease the time taken to get that medal.

Eh, the max I can do so far is 280 secs. It gets pretty crazy past the 200 sec mark or so. Did you use spread shot or single shot?

Simple Shapes Collab 100 pointer is way easier. Just memorize the attack patterns. Compared to spaceland adventure 2 you can't really call it a bullet hell game...

To be honest, I stopped caring to shoot after 180 seconds. Though if you want more lag, go with the spread shot. The really threatening molten red FOE can be one-shotted by the spread shot, though you'll likely be blocked by a lot of the hardier dudes like the rainbow whites and the grays.

The results don't lie though, I can't seem to do the SSC one. No, it's not a bullet hell, but it does demand that you perform outrageously well. Maybe I haven't thrown enough attempts at it, maybe I'm just sloppy.

Once you understand how crappy the controls are, you can then work with them to beat the game.

I think the speed of the timer is now independent of how many times the game is completed, and should take about 45 minutes.

Got just the NG high score on the zombie game. Pretty entertaining. But hard to believe those medals are worth 5 points.... I mean the level 3 achievement for everything is near impossible. I had a pretty flawless run and didn't get any. Here was my strategy for that high score

Only spent money on shotgun upgrades / ammo got up to level 12 for the gun.
Health 180% (didn't add any health until like level 15)
Movement at 190% (Upgraded this the most at the beginning)
Crit at 40%
Fire rate up to 180%
Damage bonus around 60%,
Reload at 80%

You're now one down on the high score. :p

Health and speed are going to be the best bet for survival on the later waves. Learning to lead them around in a circle in a single group and selectively picking them off to control the flow of zombies on the field may be the only way to get that 10 million score medal.

Well, finally got the Olympian medal in Alkie Kong 2 (which in turn means I effectively have Survivalist) after falling into many holes and getting screwed over by bad luck in level 14/15.

How long will it take to get Drunken Deity? I ask this because it's a different beast altogether, and the game monster physics seems to have changed since. Take level 10 for instance, the Molties now dip a little into the holes before they jump, making the clearance distance when climbing the ladder 2.5x fatter.

Some time back I tried going for drunken deity. But it really takes effort and determination. I found myself being distracted by new medal games with easier medal points all the time, eventually it dropped to the near bottom of my medal to-do list...

*sigh

55 kills away from 5000 kills in one round, and I had over 10 million points in that round....

Response to Newgrounds Medals - Games and Tips 2011-03-23 03:12:45


Seems that in the zombie game, movement speed goes up a few point every level you gain. So, save a few points by using them on your other stats.

I doubt there is a way to do this however is there anyway to change awd etc... to the arrow keys for games that make you use the awd combo? Cause my pinkie finger hurts from playing that zombie game lol

Well, back then it took me 3 days practicing. It wasn't easy for me because I did it with a broken wrist (soccer + bicyclekick + nikes + wet grass = epic fail :P ), but the good news is once you mastered a level, you'll almost never die again. I mean, in Lastman you figure out how to play perfectly, but you still die a lot because some of the timing stuff is a little luck based. I think you should be able to do it in 2 days, good luck! =)

@above, roflmao so many Not a Number bugs xD It's a mystery to me why people let that stuff slip by, but I guess I'll find out soon enough when I get into my own series of projects.

Now I feel bad because it took me longer to do Olympian due to a huge pile of small mistakes. =( I was initially going to get Survivalist first, but it was usually the insta-gameover traps (key overlapping a switch, holes) that got me. Eventually I just got so good that I just went straight for Olympian instead.

Oh well, guess I should get started and throw some ideas around on how to deal with the shytton of crazy bats...

Yeah it's weird how if you fail the first level, it breaks lol

Anybody else stuck on level 20? I can't manage to last more than 20 seconds. Sometimes the entire screen is covered in blue clouds. Did anybody go a different route with stat upgrading?

Anyone that has gotten the secret medal in NDC:2010 care to give me a hint or just tell me how to get it.

Response to Newgrounds Medals - Games and Tips 2011-03-23 16:32:20


So here's some good news: that 100pt medal for getting 70,000 total EP seems to be broken. Right now I'm sitting at 72760 total EP, and you'll notice I don't have it. Also, has anyone else found it totally impossible to get 65 on screen at one time? For a 10 point medal, I haven't come anywhere CLOSE to it. And I have no idea what the 10pt secret medal is.

You put too much reliance on auto-infect. That shyt for me is only level 1. There's too much white cells and antibiotics to really make good use of that, and sometimes the only way to survive is to navigate the area with an immune virus.

Once you have sufficient levels in multiplying and immunity, you could possibly try to thrive inside the antibiotic clouds. But that's risky. Not to mention the white blood cells still pose a serious problem in numbers.

I forgot to email myself my .sol file for that game from work. Now I either have to wait until the next time I'm at my work computer (which is actually rather rarely right now), or I have to play through the whole game again, after he fixes the 100pt medal for getting 70,000 total EP.

In related news, you can actually trick the game into giving you medals as follows:

Get an upgrade to 1 point below the medal threshold, and play a level. Get the medal. Quit to the menu. Continue game. Your EP are back, even though you got the medal. In this way you can actually get all the upgrade medals on the 70,000 EP it takes for the 100pt medal if it's fixed, which should cut short your playtime by at least a few rounds.

I just put lots of points into the first category and it seems to work. Got to level 34. Guess i'll leave it there until the 70K medal gets fixed, because i'm around 65 right now.

And now you one down on the high scores beat ya by like 300 points :) and am I the only one that thinks the machine gun is better?
