New game


Excuse me, I'm looking for a car that's been tricked out to look like an ice cream truck.

I could use a strapping young man to do some chores around the house!

AHHH! JACKPOT!

Fists With Your Toes: get one bullet.
MIllion Dollar Deals For Breakfast: get 3 bullets.

Awful game with medals. Ever since medals are instantly added and don't have to be approved anymore, it has taken a turn for the worse with horrible games having medals. Having the highest medal score has become more a matter of "

how much crap can I endure while having 0 fun

" than being good at playing games, atleast that's how it seems to me. No offense to anyone with many medals intented, just frustrated at such games that only pass because the author attaches some shiny medals.

Even with the old system the highest medal score became an endurence race rather than a matter of skill, yet I'm really confident the top 5 in the medal ranking are also amongst the very best gamers on this website. Thankfully I don't see things the way you do (the day I have 0 fun playing medal games will be the day I quit playing them), but I do understand your point. I think the overall quality of the average medal game is still above par, but there are some really crappy games out there. Now that we have API-mods that are also really active medal grinders, it would be pretty easy to restore the old system. This way the worst of the worst wouldn't be approved. It also has some other advantages, like making sure the medal points in the game reflect the difficulty of the medals, or fixing obvious medal issues before Ionrayner leaves a 0-star review. I don't think this process would take much longer than a day. The downside would be that the 'First Users to Unlock' feature becomes completely useless, unless we can find a way to reset it as soon as the medals get approved.

Thanks for making me think about the possibility, as I think it might improve the overall medal earning experience.

i not suprise me, if the medals for this game will be reduce to 10 point

Yea.. they are too much actually. Not to mention, I didn't see any difference between the 2 bears other than the color?
Also, 100 pts for submitting your score?
I'll PM the author ._.

I feel the same way Asandir (I kinda mentioned it in point 8 here.)
Ever since the redesign, any crappy game can have medals.

When API-mods were introduced, I also thought about the possibility of going back to the old system. But at the same time, I thought that the new system is user-friendly. Authors don't have to wait for approval, and they can add new medals whenever they want. Also, new game developers can easily get recognized with medals (even if his game sucks). Without medals, some games will go unnoticed.

But I think we can make it work if we can tweak it a little bit. We'll see how that works :O

Oops. Sorry, didn't know. I'd seen them in reviews before, and I only recently found this thread. Bummer there's no way to edit or remove posts. :\

how I get to "the island"? I miss only this medal..

It shows up every 13 weeks on the far west side of the island clusters surrounding the lagoon. You can either randomly click for it, or be good at spotting the difference on your map.

Is it just me, or is the epilogue broken? It is always stuck at 65% loading or thereabouts after the jail scene.

I also have the shytty luck of missing a lot of medals that I should otherwise qualify for, such as 8 flawless victories, and defeating Boris (that drug guy, that's his name right?).

I already PMed the author about it. Sorry for not mentioning it ._.
The loading screen was stuck even when I resumed the game (after the jail scene). I tried both Chrome and FF.

I didn't have any problem getting medals though?

Oh and how can I get the medal "Relics Unveiled" btw?

Get all the secret caches. It takes 5 action points to loot one. With the exception of one, maybe two of them, they're not difficult to find if you're observant. However, they're usually in out-of-the-way locations. Since you can always undo a move action, you can just check all the suspicious spots on the map and see if a special action is available. Ironically, they usually have less money than the boss, but they more than make up for it with snazzy accessory equips.

IIRC, there's at least 5 of them. Just to help you get started, ones of these secret caches is in the well in stages 2.1 and 2.2.

I was rewarded this medal after the last battle, at the same time I got the flawless victory and Zofia medals.

Thanks
I think the secret near the well is the only 1 I got. :/
I don't think I'll play that game again unless the bug is fixed. Maybe we'll be able to start a new game with the same money/skills we had at the end. Getting other medals will be easier that way.

Nope, broken. Tried with tab/space and clicking.
