Why the frown? Everything about that medal is awesome. Both secret medals, actually. Now there's just the seemingly impossible one and the broken one left for me.

This is my frowny face >=( I make it a point to get the failure medals last. Yes, they're both humorous, but they're still badges of failure.

I also don't think it is awesome that you willingly went over to blessflasher explicitly to get a super high no-skill-only-time-required score in an open-ended grinding game and nothing else. Kicking the addiction doesn't happen in a day.

I have an idea on how to get the 65 germs medal, but it may take some time to set up...

I now have the high score in Night of Million Zombies with 18,319,125 and 8,207 kills. I did it using the machine gun maxed out reloading time so it was instant 160 in firing rate the rest in health got my gun to lvl 35 before I died. I don't think its possible to get it much higher then my score. It got to the point were even with the speed power-up the zombies were faster then me. But if you manage to beat my score you deserve it.

Actually I used it to test out what the maximum daily points you can get is. It turns out it takes a really, really long time to get to the max number if you go for it, which means I was able to collect a shit-ton of points along the way. I haven't been back to the game here or there since then, so I don't know whether my scores still stand in either location.

Alright, so I did some number scouting for a good place to get the Pandemic medal in IER2, and here's what I found:

--Campaign levels cannot be used to farm EP. They always seem to give a flat amount, no matter how well you've done.
--The super germ you're given in level 15 has +2 levels to every stat.
--The time between "Level Complete!" and the upgrade screen is about 1.2 seconds. In terms of the latency stat, you're either going to have to spam-click a bunch of cells for infection, or have a really high latency level if you want to squeeze in a few extra germs before the transition. That is, if it's possible to gain the medal in this time frame.

Basically, you're either going to have to do it in level 15, where the goal is to get 55 germs alive at once, or get absurdly lucky in a long campaign level or endless level.

I've been playing Operation L.O.A.D. today, and I don't know how you guys can think it adds an hour to your playtime if you kill the end boss while chasing the 10,000 total kills medal. In Easy mode, at least, the end boss is totally trivial. Upgrade your missiles so you can fire 15 at once, and when the boss starts appearing, charge up your 15 missiles. As soon as he starts firing, fire your missiles, and if he's not dead within 3 seconds from the missile impacts then it won't take longer than about 10 more seconds for you to finish him off. Then you watch the cutscene at the end, which takes about 20 seconds, and you're done. I don't know about you guys, but I find it rather enjoyable watching the planet blow up.

Or just restart when the boss appears. Much faster.

Just played through a second time, still didn't work. Backed up my .sol file after level 8 though, so if/when it gets fixed I'm ready for it.

Am I the only one who is having trouble getting past that game? The amount of enemy gunfire is insane, so I constantly have to replay the same level to get enough bytes to upgrade. Is there any easy strategy so that I don't continuously grind?

Maybe. I maxed everything by Sector 10.

First thing I did was max out the bytes attractor upgrade (it's the only thing you can buy before Sector 1). Then I went straight for DPS. Everything except for the lvl 4-5 upgrades is pretty cheap anyways.

First things I buy are the byte attractors, and the top-level gun. Don't buy any of the mid-level guns, just go straight to the top level one. By the time you're through level 2 you should have the top gun and at least level 4 attractor, and from there on it's all about taking out yellow enemies as soon as they show up and learning how to navigate.

Like Fooliolo pointed out, try to max up everything as soon as you can. It's not too difficult due to the fact you can keep continuing, and if you die, you keep the bytes you just got. Also, pick up the weapons you use with the number keys, that makes the levels (not to mention boss fights) much easier.

The shield is probably the first thing you need to get. It helps a lot with all the bullets on screen. Next, buy weapon upgrades, byt magnets, and the secondary weapons. Having all 4 makes short work of bosses. Also the "S power up" replenishes all your weapons and shields, so try to use them up before you come it near the end of the stage.

Response to Newgrounds Medals - Games and Tips 2011-03-26 00:16:19


I went through the whole game without shield. It's really easy. Get top level gun, max byte attractor and dps, then you'll hardly need any other upgrade.

I got it, so I guess it's fixed now.

Also, first medal game where you don't have to complete the last level to get all medals.

I've been trying for a couple of days now, but the CARnage medal and drugs medal for the Charlie Sheen game simply aren't working for me. Anyone else having problem for those two medals? It has been mentioned that they don't have to be obtained in a single run, just within a single instance of the game, and that's what I did. I manually counted >150 cars for a few times, on two different computers. Either the medals are broken, or I'm doing something wrong here...

I'm pretty sure I did get the CARnage medal in a single run, it just took forever. Either it's got to be 150 in a single run, or the number isn't really 150. The drug medal has always been really weird.

Ah, so it has gotta be a single run. Maybe the drugs medal too?

Man, just in the other thread I was mentioning trying to leapfrog the top 2, but all I have left are these tough but not-very-rewarding medals (in terms of medal points)...
