Well, I can give you a very subtle hint. There's a member called Oh-Sama on Newgrounds. Perhaps you should pay his page a visit.

Merry Christmas

Okay, thank you. Would have never figured that out, because I did exactly that before the medal were added =(.

Has anything been changed yet to stop rampant cheaters of old? I used to love competing to be in the top 10 medal users when it was newer but the playing floor felt more and more unfair and muddied with broken medals. Eventually I even saw an off site forum with threads to unlock the medals just by entering some codes into cheat engine.

Obviously local cheating on flash games with memory editors can't be fixed but I've seen developers make certain simple memory editor tricks impossible. How are things these days?


I'm your average Afro-American fetus. For example: I enjoy basketball, I'm rather good when I play too, but I'm much too busy scratching my horrific cracked skin these days.

Hm, before the redesign I used to go on crusades to try and stop them. Even with a buttload of evidence it always ended up getting ugly so I gave up on it, and other really don't seem to care that much. With the new system and API-mods we can just take care of broken or impossible medals. Also, if you click on any medal on the website, you can see who earned it, and when. I intentionally left some medals up, even when I know you can only get them by cheating. This gives me a perfect idea who earns their medals fairly, and who doesn't. The NG top medal point users list used to exclude cheaters, but that's no longer the case for some reason. Also, if you check the official rankings, you'll probably recognize some blacklisted users of old.

The majority of users in the top 50 earn their medals fairly, so there's some good news. Also, with 2100+ medal games out there, I don't think anyone will sign up today and cheat their way to the top. Flash games will always be exploitable to a certain extent, and I don't expect the staff to actually deal with the cheating problem. This is why I decided to ignore it (with the occasional 'GODDAMNIT' out loud, when I notice something blatantly obvious), and hope they get bored of it and leave the site. Some of them are really persistent, unfortunately. The only reason I'm posting this is because the legendary Life asked about it. =P If you have any follow-up questions, please ask them through PM.

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!

How on earth do u beat the SKIP THIS bonus level.....
Skipping it means u dont get the last medal.

Skipping the "Skip This" should still give you the medal.

New Medal Game:

You may have to switch your browsers to compatibility view (if using I.E.) to play this. At first, it wouldn't load for me without switching, and even then it took almost 6 minutes for the game to load. It seems to run fine without compatibility view now (probably fixed by the author), but if it still doesn't work, wait about 6 minutes and it should load up or switch.

Why do some games have more medals than there are?

Here are some examples of this.

14 medals total listed but there are only 13 medals

7 medals total listed but there are only 6 medals

102 medals total listed but there are only 100 medals

These are usually test medals from authors or older untested medals that haven't been properly dealt with (sometimes intentional). I just tried fixing it, both 'Spring Ninja' and 'I Quit! Must Dash!' now show the right amount of medals. We can't just blindly remove those odd medals, so it's going to take a while to fix all of them, and it doesn't feel like something that should be dealt with asap. Thanks for bringing it to my attention! =)

This game has potential but it keeps freezing after a few minutes.

I'll agree on the first two, but I got Die Hard a few days ago, and so have many others. I don't think I did anything unusual, apart from not picking the car perk.
