Medals have no explanations? This is almost as bad as secret medals.

Anybody figured out how to receive them all? If so, please let me know.

Many of the medals are likely broken because, as Fooliolo pointed out, the game thinks you were 'penetrated' no matter what you do, and it is either impossible or very close to that to get the medals for sliding.

I found the basic structure for the medals, but as I said they could need some work.

Some folks, myself included, have a few of the sliding medals. I kept sliding, and lucked out with the 10 pointer. The other one though, no idea, as I slid even more than the first time, and no medal. It sounds to me like a case of whatever the game feels like doing, it'll do. Because a lotta folks who reviewed the game seem to be clueless as to how they obtained their medals.

Yeah, I got the 100 point medal, and I have no clue how I got it. The game was glitching when I got it, though...

Is anybody else experiencing wonky controls with it?

Fortunacus never stops making me laugh. He IS explaining it, at least. The 'trick' is to not jump because you change direction when you come to the edge, obviously. Despite this the game is still nearly unplayable. And I think he's used this setup for a game one too many times.

Yeah, that was finally explained by the author in my review for it. Would'a been nice to have known that to begin with though. And yeah, the setup (and the medals) are a little tiresome by this point. I can't fault him too much though, the template that he keeps using is a fun one, and the graphics are well done.

The Kevin Whoever secret medal on Symphonic Tower Defense has been completely removed - it's not even a zero-pointer.

Must be why Bobogoobo's spreadsheet it missing 25 points. Unless he never got that medal, of course, but it makes the most sense.

I did, and that was it, thank you. And actually that one wasn't the spreadsheet, it was me refreshing my user page and seeing a loss in points :P. Too bad I got some other points this week, would've been fun to be the first(?) to have a negative point gain on the top 200 list :P.


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.

I was wondering about that. I couldn't even get it.

Does anyone else feel like the medal counter isn't counting correctly or something? The past 10 or so medals I got didn't add up correctly (for example, I was at 40510, I got a 50 pointer and a 25 pointer and it made me 40545). I would normally doubt that something like this would happen, but after leaving a window up with my old number and then seeing my new number I'm pretty sure I didn't just remember it wrong.

Once I got a five pointer it counted up my total correctly, I guess it's just like when medals disappear sometimes.

New medal game.

Played it, maybe it's just me but some of the medals they said I earned didn't show up in my profile. Guess some medals aren't operational yet.

Weird. I'm pretty sure they all worked for me, but when I had the achievement in the game the medal didn't pop up until I finished hte level and got back to the stage selection screen.

Yeah they all worked for me as well. The in-game achievements look like they might be NG medals, so that might have been a bit confusing. Fun game though, but not very challenging.

This game has also been approved:

I managed to earn every medal besides the last one, but I didn't see a special ending. Might be because I earned most of those medals when the game was released. Guess I have to delete them .sols and try again tomorrow.

Oh, and before someone starts again.. I learned about the grape shot after getting every other medal, and earned both of them at the same time. That's why the medals are switched.

I've gotten all but one achievement, which is the 5 point secret medal. I have a feeling it bugged and didn't give it to me, but if that's not the case, it's the only medal I'm not sure how to get.
The game was kind of misleading in offering 14 in-game medals, with a few that are different than the secret ones :P

Does anybody know what the secret medals are and how to get them?

Playing the game to completion, including the unlimited mode, will get you all but one medal. Pretty straight forward really.

And for the Nanobeast lvl 3 pacifist medal, seems like you'll need 9 bombs and 8 lives to kill the boss. Fairly steep requirements, given the long levels and the luck factor.

So you're saying the author updated the game? Last time I played it, 9 bombs and 10 (9+enough upgrades to buy another one) lives wasn't enough to get the job done. It was really hard to reach it so I like to make sure you are correct, before I try earned that medal again.

It just looked that way. I didn't actually achieve it yet =( Best I've done was 9 bombs and 7 lives.

I also compared the damage of bombs versus crashes. They both do approximately the same damage, although my data suggests that crashes do a point or two more.
