The great thing about having a mac when it comes to these flash submissions is that when you right click on the flash it freezes on that frame. That makes it a lot easier to write down the combinations.

DAMMIT! I saved H3I5T each time I played, and got all the way up to those damn vaults, and it didn't take!?! What the Hell??? Now I'm stuck at the same part I was before, having to jump through those freakin' ceiling vents (which is a total pain in the neck due to the crummy controls). *Sigh*

Anywho, I thought I posted this before, but I guess it didn't take (same glitch with my saving maybe infecting my posts?)... how do you open the vaults? I thought it was lining up the arrows to the circle with the plus on it, but it didn't work. Am I way off on what to do?

You have the right idea with lining up the arrows. It's just not supposed to align with the hatch wheel =P

Thanks, man. At least now I'm pointed in the right direction.

It's weird though. The saved game from before? Now it's back, and I'm at the vault again. Wha..??? Computer's are strange.

Pikanjo confirms that the Guru medal in Heist is currently unobtainable due to one of the powerups being placed outside of the play area. Guess we'll have to sit tight for now.

Also, I'm missing one last 5 pt medal. Any clues?

lol someone accused me of cheating in the reviews, yet he doesn't know hexadecimal xD

I found the problem... I closed the window, then replayed the game after searching other sites for awhile. So if anybody's had that glitch, try shutting down your computer, then going back. That should fix the problem.

Onto another matter... I got into the vaults, but damned if I know what to do now! The Hex puzzle is confusing as all get out, and I think I have to jump/duck under the laserbeams in the one vault, but I'm not positive. Seeing how the game gives absolutely no clue as to what to do, anybody care to lend a hint?

The hex puzzle is easy. Any respectable computer programmer knows hexadecimal. Basically, our number system counts in base 10, while hexadecimal is base 16 (and binary is base 2). Base 10 and base 16 are the same below 10, but after 9, hexadecimal represents 10 as 'A', 11 as 'B', ... and 15 as 'F'. 16 is represented as 10, meaning there's 1 16. 23 in hex equals to 35 in base 10, since 2x16 + 3 = 35. 4D in hex is 4x16 + 13 = 77.

If that explanation is unsatisfactory, you should google it. Maybe some other site out there can explain it better than I can.

The Spade vault is a serious b!tch to deal with unfortunately, and by far the most difficult part of the game =(

Holy cow! That's what it takes to open those vaults!?! Jeeze! I wanted to play a game, not become some computer whiz! I swear, I'm barely able to turn on a computer, let alone figure that out! I wouldn't even know where to begin with that, seeing how I don't even know how to start the hex puzzle, as the numbers continually change. Oh man, I might just stop playing this one because of that.

The vodka/case ratio is another pain in the butt, mostly because there are absolutely no instructions on what the buttons do! I can get the vodka at one volume, and the case at another, and think I'm scott-free, but then boom! I lose. Or I can get the case's volume all the way down, but the vodka still needs nearly half of the line filled. And I thought just getting to the damn case was hard! Yeesh! Maybe if the instructions weren't so cryptic in this game it would be a bit easier.

Thanks for at least attempting to help a stupid old man like myself, Fooliolo. I'm afraid I'm a lost cause though. :)

Uh, that was just a crash course on how to read hex. There's actually nothing about computer programming in there, or in the puzzle. However, if you want to learn about how computers work beyond the superficial, it's definitely applicable.

Heist is a thinking man's game, with shooter as a secondary. Here's a hint: the vodka is too heavy.

All the better if you succeed at beating the game =)

But really, I'll spill the beans. The medals themselves are very easy to get, with the exception of the "Game complete!" and other medals.
So, anyways...

You have to go to the door where one guy keeps coming out of and set the donuts down (I think it's automatic) and wait until he goes back into the room. Then check the keypad, there will be visible fingerprints, each brighter than the last. Start with the brightest white smudge, and work down to the least bright.

The code always changes, so it's not as cut and dry as giving out the code.

What you need to do is record parts from each video in a certain way (just like was done with the cameras in the movie SPEED). The game tells you when you've succeeded in what to record (so it's more trial and error than having me able to tell you what exactly to do). You have to make sure though that there are no abnormalities within what you record (like a guy walking past the camera. Somebody just "appearing" mid shot... stuff like that). Then you need to loop that video so you don't get captured by the camera and lose.

Hopefully that makes sense.

Ok, I am completely stuck on Heist this time. I enter the mansion looking building and after I try to kill a guy he immediately starts running for the alarm next to the main entrance door. So I get busted and when I click retry I appear in that entrance door but the guy which at first was in the second floor is already next to the alarm, and I got no chance of shooting him down before I get the busted screen. So can anyone help with this? Maybe Richie should fix this issue. The only way that I can think of to get around this problem is to start all over again. But I really do not want that.

Don't really know what to say, but restarting shouldn't hurt too much. Shouldn't take you too long just to get you inside the mansion. Run around a bit, jump over the wall, run a little more, you're in. Save more often ;)

Response to Newgrounds Medals - Games and Tips 2011-07-17 12:31:26


it's probably a little late now, but what you can do is go through the door. I had the same thing happen to me, but couldn't think of anything until i tried one last thing, leaving. So, for future reference, try going out the door.

Don't worry, I suck at it too! Fooliolo had to help me a bunch.

For the lock pick, keep hitting the Z button (I think it's Z... it's the one that keeps the sharp hook thing up to the top) while manuevering the other piece (the rounded one) underneath the 5 vertical poles. What you need to do is get the little black rings on the vertical poles to line up with the silver lines (the ones that are 2 lines, split in the middle near the springs on your pic) on the lock. Then pull the rounded on out. You should get a message saying it's unlocked then. Repeat for every locked door.

Hope that helps.

Ok so I already did this and got the medal, but now I am completely stuck. What do I have to do next? Because the surveillance cameras on the other room are still on and I can't pass to any of the doors. Anyone mind helping me?

Sorry for the double post. I was so stupid, I did not imagine I could just go through the surveillance cameras while still "on" and can't catch me. I apologize.

Can anyone enlighten me on the hex puzzle in H315T? I understand they are hexadecimals, but not much else.

On an unrelated note, did anyone figure the last secret medal in Frog Battle?
