Aw c'mon! Symphonic Tower Defense has been updated once again! This is the 3rd freakin' time I've had to restart from the beginning! It's a really fun game, but try to get all the bugs worked out before submitting it, y'know? Thankfully, the medals you've earned have all kept, but still, I wanted to go after the 2 that I didn't have yet (beating a yellow/red song on hard and beating the final level on hard), and now I gotta go through it all again? Totally frustrating.

There are medals, but they are either fake, or not working.

First off, they aren't fake.

Second, i am waiting for Mike to come online so he can fix them. They are approved but for some reason they aren't showing up on user's pages.

Thank you for making assumptions though.

So, they aren't working. No big deal, no need to get defensive. Just pop a message here when you have confirmed that they work.

I didn't mean to come off defensive, sorry. It's just that it's annoying when people assume that someone would waste their time faking medals.

The medals are working on my end, but on the Newgrounds end that's where the problem lies.

Also, there are 3 medals in total.

Come on now, NG is full of trolls ;)

They're probably not formally/completely approved yet. (If so they may or may not work). If they are the game would usually appear here.

I'm sorry, I didn't mean to accuse you of anything. It's just not the first time a game has fake medals...

Anybody have any advice for beating the song Native Faith in Symphonic Tower Defense? It's stumped me for an hour.

Have any medals had their values increased recently or anything? A day or two ago I noticed my spreadsheet says I have 180 fewer points than NG says I do. I just went through the last 20 pages of this thread and all of those games are correct on my spreadsheet, and the difference didn't show up more than a few days ago. I don't check my spreadsheet total all that often. I'm pretty sure I haven't forgotten to put any games on my spreadsheet, but it would be helpful if I could see more of my medal history in the order of earning them. So, any help?

Also when are Mega Miner's medals going to be 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.

lol, I'm confused. Maybe it's another medal screwup, maybe I'm just not good at playing this movie. I found it in the games with medals area and I ctrl + f'd it on Nijsse's medals page and found nothing.

I would know easily, except it has medals related to clocks.

It was a mixup with the system. I deleted the flash that you could get the medals, but they still show up after replacing it with the original flash from before. Don't worry, the game will be posted on Clock Day!

How does one get the three "pacifist" medals in http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/57 6835? You have to beat levels 1, 2, and 3 without shooting your gun... but you HAVE to shoot your gun to kill the boss. After beating the game, I ran through level 1 without shooting any enemies, dying, using bombs, etc. But once I got to the boss, I had no way to kill him. I used all three of my bombs, which took close to half his life, but at that point I was required to start shooting. It's possible that purposely crashing into him might do some damage, but I don't think kamikaze attacks fall under the "pacifist" umbrella so that wouldn't make much sense.

I sat at the first boss for over five minutes without shooting, just to see if he would fly off due to boredom or something, he just keeps going in the same pattern over and over again.

Well, keep in mind that a boss looses health if you crash into it. Also, using bombs is allowed when you go for the pacifist medals. With this info, level 1 is doable as you cannot get hit (or maybe once, I don't remember), level 2 is very easy and level 3... well I don't know. I reached the 3rd boss with 9 bombs and 10 lives (really hard to not get hit during that level), but even after dropping 9 bombs and crashing into the boss 9 times, he still had some health left. Maybe I didn't think of something, or maybe the medal is impossible at the moment, either way I'd like to see someone else comment on it.

Also, some tips on how to earn 50k in Laser Pointer would be nice, there's probably an exploit that only a few people how found so far.

Maybe I didn't think of something, or maybe the medal is impossible at the moment, either way I'd like to see someone else comment on it.

Well I had trouble with getting to the boss on level 3 without dying too. It is especially difficult to dodge the waves of fast-moving aliens when you're trying hard to navigate through all the other slower ships and their bullets. Does anyone have it already?

Hmm I don't quite know what to say, but given how easily I got 50k and how much trouble you guys had I'd venture to say the game glitched on me without me knowing. I just kept tapping the mouse button and often the teacher/boss was staring right at me and I didn't get caught. I just thought that short taps of the mouse button was the trick, but I guess not... After all it didn't seem like a particularly polished game...(Yeah I probably shouldn't judge the quality of the code by the game's aesthetic appearance but...)

I was able to get to the boss, even though it was pretty hard. Like I said earlier, I reached the boss with 9 bombs and 10 lives (9 lives + enough power-ups to buy another one), and even that wasn't enough. So unless there's another way to damage the boss (or damage him more), I have no clue how to earn the last pacifist medal.

For me it's pretty much impossible to earn more than 20k on that game. Even with short taps the teacher/boss will almost instantly get you as soon as you have 10k and try to tap the mouse some more.
