Seems as though the medals have been removed from this game, though the points in my (and probably yours as well) profile remain.

Hopefully it has been removed to fix it. I sent the Author an extensive PM explaining the serious amount of problems with it, so hopefully he took that into consideration and is in the process of fixing it up. It certainly had potential, but far too many problems.

Oh and New Medal Game.

6 Medals all secret. I have none yet but I'm working on it. If anyone gets them/any shoot me a PM please.

Maybe with that Dungeons of Genesis game it was the medals screwing things up with the game. I sure hope he fixes it though, since it was the first SunriseKingdom game that wasn't complete rubbish.

Finally were getting seriously close to 600,000 submissions.

I got a PM from SunriseKingdom, and was assured that the game is being worked on, and will be resubmitted when the bugs are worked out. That's nice to hear, as very rarely do you get a game author willing to listen to the criticisms of those who played their game, and actually make changes to it. Here's hoping that it works a lot better next time.

As for the Zombie Baseball Madness game, I don't think the medals work at the moment. I played it when it was first submitted (when the medals weren't all secret), and even then the medals didn't do anything. I couldn't imagine that the requirements changed, just the visibility of them. Unfortunately, the game also lags for me, even when I turn off the sound effects, music, and change it to the lowest quality.

I sent him a detailed PM too and this was the reply I got. And yes it was nice to get a reply from the Author, I agree.

Sorry, about the freezes, lags, and crashing. I'm not sure why it happened. But it didn't do so before the medals.
So we removed the medals from the game to fix the problems. We will try to add them back at a later time after we understand what happened.
I fixed enemies AI
I added more info on the level screen
I fixed the jump, but I know it needs a lot more work
I added and removed enemies
I changed the xp you get from fighting enemies
Also I changed the control jump from space to W
Also I plan on redoing the background at a later time so the enemies attacks will be more seeable.

Yes the game lags like a bitch, even on low quality. But I have a little secret to counteract that. It's quite simple actually. Take your shot, ie: hit the ball, then go look at another page like your userpage or the BBS or something and it seems to work just fine, (normal speed as it were). As for the medals I had a feeling they didn't work yet, I have just about completed the game and got nothing so far.

That's the same PM I got. Must've been sent to everybody who shot the author an opinion.

And I wasn't aware about that solution to the lag. By jove, it actually worked! Usually when I try that, the whole thing stops dead, so that was a nice surprise. I'll have to definitely utilize that once the medals get approved.

Yeah that was a good find I thought. I just finished the game so I'm hoping the medals are working by the time I wake up and I can just do something easy or redo the final bit one more time and get the lot. I sure don't fancy doing that all over again. I have left the game open so I don't lose all my progress.

A hint about the secret medal for recently added

Endless War 5

would be much appreciated.

I have two yes/no questions: does it involve

a) friendly fire

b) Caliope (or generally playing a certain level with a certain vehicle)?

Or, if it's fine, you can just straightforward PM the conditions, but since there are restrictions about revealing...

Hints are okay, and using PM to disclose the secrets are allowed. It involves a certain level, and certain requirements for completing it. Best not to fire on your allies, and it doesn't matter what tank you use.

Is it just me or are the medals for

still not working? Also, once it's fixed (assuming that it's broken) a tip for those who are experiencing lag while playing this, take your shot then go on the BBS or your own userpage or Chat or some other page,

don't close the game page

, just go look at another page and the game will play at normal speed. Just check back after 30 seconds or so and the ball will have landed and you can play your next shot and just keep doing that. It's so much easier and quicker than putting up with the chronic lag.

Still not working I guess. Also, the game didn't start until I did "right-click - play."

I'm thinking the medals 15 Battles Completed and First Time Stage Time Lower Than 30 Seconds may be busted. The 15 Battles one popped up for me, but didn't register on either my profile, or the medal list under the game. And the 30 Seconds one just failed to pop up entirely.

Of course, the problem may be on my end, but I figured I'd give a heads up if anybody else experienced it.

Wow these medal problems are getting out of control. I got all the medals that you didn't but, there's always a but, I didn't get the First 2 Times Stage Time Lower Than 50 Seconds or the 20 Battles Completed or the 500 Creatures Killed medals. Seriously, WTF is going on with the medals? I did have to replay the game a few times to get all the medals I got though. So try playing it again a couple of times, you will probably get them.

Also I tried what you told me for the Super Meat Boy medal on Pico Radio and guess what? Nothing. Frustrating doesn't even begin to describe it.

That's what I had to do, replay the game in order for it to pop up again. I dunno what happened, temporary glitch? It may be the same problem that sometimes causes a medal value not to be added to your total until you get another medal? No clue, but it's not a big deal I suppose. The game was somewhat fun (I've always been an old school Galaga fan), if not a bit clunky, so it wasn't such a chore to play it again.

On a side note, glad you were able to figure out the Pico Radio problem. :)

lol... it's not impossible but the way you hit them is.. awkward :P
I'm not exactly sure how I killed them. All I did was spam space while getting close to them. They died after a while...
Oh and the star will help you clear more :o
