If no one else is planning to, I'm about to make a guide for this. Not because of any difficulty; it gets pretty easy once you understand it, but for the sake of completeness of the wiki. And because I have nothing to do today.

If you really have nothing to do, can you make a small guide for Symphonic tower defense, or at least some pointers for the last two levels. Because I'm stuck there.

But nonetheless great that you try to make some guides, I used to, but the new games often are just really easy and/or short.

So this was the "NGStore" game. At first I thought the Newgrounds staff were releasing some sort of official game to promote the NG Store, LOL.

Ugh, that store game... day 14, final order. I had 4 mystery boxes, 2 posters and a falconry t-shirt. The mystery boxes were all the same shape, and were thus impossible to fit inside the 3 x 3 x 3 box. I spent 3 and a half minutes trying to get them to fit, and I ran out of time. I have to start over again.

Finished the guide. I just recently found the secret medals. Might not be perfect.

I'll see if I can get to it, I'm trying to rack up some medal points right now. Other than THAT, I have nothing to do today.

Part 2: Day 13, a huge order. I halfway fill a box, but put something in the wrong place and move over to 'undo'. I pressed 'ship' by accident.

Hac, you suck! I tried a buncha times to get that 100 point medal, and each freakin' time I got within around 60 points or so of it before game over. GRRR! Why'd you have to fix that glitch? ;)

Good job though. I'm sure I'll put in at least a few more plays before I become so angry I hunt you down. :D

Hmm, really? I played it when it came out and just now, and i got over 2000 points each time. I just casually avoid them until their numbers grow high, then I go to the nearest corner. I stay there until an orange comes near, then run to the next corner.

Oh sure Joey, rub it in! :) I'll have to try your technique when I'm less frustrated with the game.

Yup. It's pretty easy.

I can't think of a configuration like the one you described that would actually make it impossible. But if they were all of different shape, that sounds brutal xD

Overall, that game was a snooze. My first mistake was accidentally leaving an item on the table, whoops!

Is there a way to save your progress in this game?

Nope, and after three tries at the 'no mistakes in 15 days' medal I gave up. You have to start over every single time.

Fortunately the "Blood, Sweat, Tears" medal isn't that hard. It only takes some time. But once you've made enough profit you can ship out empty boxes (or boxes that contain only half of the order) to get through another day more quickly. That's what I did for the last three in-game days. ^^

Don't know if I'll give the "no mistakes in 15 days" medal a shot...

I'm just going to avoid the rage that that medal has brought me and focus on the two 100 point medals. Luckily I didn't rage quit last night when I missed the medal yet again, so I'm on day 16. After I get those I think I'll just drop this game for a while.

If anybody can figure out how to get these medals, can you make a guide? I ended up getting a few, and damned if I knew how I did it. I understood the ones where you get to a different section of the cave, but I somehow got the 100 pointer, and didn't realize it.

White screen right now, I'm sure once that's fixed the game will have it's medals approved soon.

I'm afraid it won't be me this time; some of the medals can be inferred by their title but even when diving over and over again to get the speed boost I couldn't get very far. Here's the basic structure for the few medals that I figured out:

A few medals for the amount of 'trips' (hitting the corner of something and bouncing on it)

Medals for distance

Medals for the amount of sliding you do

And a medal for not skipping the start thing. There's probably more medals but that's a good structure of it.

I haven't played this game to hell and back yet, but I am of the opinion that the slide medals are either too strict in their criteria, or they're broken, as I haven't gotten a single one yet. Same with the stone rain ones. And yes, I've noticed that some people have the sliding ones.

I've gotten as far as the crystal area. Inferring from the achievement names, there's a boneyard beyond that.

And I probably know why now for the stone rain achievements. It keeps saying that I got penetrated, no matter how I die.

Crystal area has easier obstacles to jump over, but the terrain is fairly brutal. One trip, and you could be done for x_X

I just lost 25 points...what got killed? I still haven't found the source of my spreadsheet error but meh, would take too long.
