I've no idea. I can't play it in IE due to the game crashing after 2 or 3 plays. Now, it just crashed while playing it in Firefox as well (where the medal popped up, but didn't register).

After hearing that everyone else (mostly) was able to receive the medals, I went back to the game and redid every sixth level and was finally able to gain medals. Perhaps there was a connection problem on my end, but I never got a "Connection Established" or "API Broken" message, so I assumed they weren't working.

Also, there was some MAJOR lag on the last few levels, but refreshing seemed to take care of it.

Finally, it seems as though the medal situation was straightened out... or at least for most of the games. I still have a computer crash problem on Claustrophobia for some reason, so that makes the higher end medals impossible to get. But the Anaksha medals seem to work fine now, as does Boom Balloon. The only one that doesn't seem to wanna work is Super Pig.

Speaking of Anaksha... does anybody know how to get the "Inflicting Pain" medal? That's the only one I've missed out on.

Guess that explains the recent medal problems. Wonder what the surprise is?

I think this one has a fake medal. Pretty irritating nowadays, because you don't know if it doesn't send or if the medals don't work.

Anyone know how to beat this level? I've come to the last point, where you can't continue any further, and if I try to continue to the right, I die.

Level starts and spawns you in the right corner and no matter what you do, you can't get away quick enough and have to start the game over since all three balls are aiming right at the corner. Anyone even beaten the level?

I haven't encountered that glitch. I did fall through the floor in the fourth, fifth, sixth and seventh (the last) level. I didn't die, so I finished the game that way, because the balls couldn't hit me.

This had working medals, but now they are gone. The authors says he's having trouble connecting it to the API system with the software he is using.

I think that was the point of the game. Not sure, but there is a medal pn there where you have to get 90,000 points in order to get it, and the only way I can think of (which took forever but worked) is to have it looped so you can kill all those guys and rrabbits over and over again untilo you reach the 90,000. I may be wrong, but I got all the medals but one (the one that says "You're a patient boy; Wait a sec"; not sure how to get that one) so somewhere along the way I was right.

I don't know. I completed that game (according to the medals) over a month ago, so maybe the API has broken since then? The 90,000 medal may have been a mistake on my part. I have bad vision. Or I'm thinking of another game.

It can't be in general because the second I loaded Burrito Bison and clicked "acheivments" in game from my last save, it instantanously loaded all the medals, meaning I got them all at the same time. So I'm assuming you mean Duck cyborg alone. Can it be fixed?

Perhaps the game API. I honestly cannot remember what you had to do to get all the medals in that game. I would suggest PMing the author and seeing if he can give you a list of how to get the medals, and also to see if his game is broken if you can't get anymore. If you do get a response, I would like to know how you get the "Your a patient boy" medal.

I would suggest clearing your cookies or logging out and back in.

If that doesn't help then PM the maker of the game.

Try clearing the history and cache .. It helps alot ;O
but if it still doesn't work "after trying different browsers" try deleting the SOL file if it exists in your PC.. just search for "TripleTowerDefense.swf" and delete the folder <,link

PS: for the last medal, you don't need 4 towers lvl 5 in a single game to get it.. so you can just get lvl 5 tower, then delete it or start a new game to build a different tower, and still get the last medal :3

Well, what I do first is build a wall of towers, to corral enemy through, then I concentrate on building up certain towers in the middle of it.

A good way to build the towers up is to plan how to build up groups of three. The thing to remember here is that it's always the last spot you fill in with the 3rd tower that sets where the upgraded tower will be. To build higher level towers you will have to start three spaces away and build inwards.

111=002

111
111
111
=
002
002
002

=

000
000
003

a222
b222
c222

=

a003
b003
c003

=

a000
b000
c004

Of course these examples are oversimplified, and you will have to find creative ways to get to the same result under constraint and time.

with level 4 towers, never build then with a space between them, or diagonally from each other, keep them next to each other, and side by side. I also build level 3 towers around like this

33
43

The level 3 tower on top left, or bottom right, are the last to be built.

I'm not sure how much this will help, if it doesn't already confuse you - I know it does me. Unless someone does a video of the game, there might not be a better way to explain it.

sorry for the double post.. my last post was screwed :(
well.. here is the fixed one..

Well.. you have to place 3 same colored towers next to each other to get 1 upgraded tower..
in other words, if you place 3 towers lvl 1 .. you will get 1 tower lvl 2
3 towers lvl 2 = 1 tower lvl 3
3 towers lvl 3 = 1 tower lvl 4
3 towers lvl 4 = 1 tower lvl 5 -- your goal

my strategy:
- leave some space for building a lvl 5 tower (added a screenshot showing the place).. also, that place is surrounded by different colors.. I mean not the same towers as the one I'm building..
- keep pressing space until you get the color you want.. and just build it in the right place.
- when you are done with 1 tower lvl 5 .. you can make a different building area for the next tower.
and that's it :O
some1 posted a video in youtube showing how he did it: link

PS: for the last medal, you don't need 4 towers lvl 5 in a single game to get it.. so you can just get lvl 5 tower, then delete it or start a new game to build a different tower, and still get the last medal :3

I actually tried everything you suggested, but I really think it is my browser. I'm one of those die hard IE fans (about 10 of us left these days), and I have noticed 3 games that won't work because of IE (at least I think so; from the reviews of those games. I'm not the only one with problems with them not loading due to IE browser). I suppose I can download Firefox or go to the College and play them at the library (Killbot is one of the ones that won;t load also, and I really want to play that one, lol).
