I really would like to know what is wrong with that level 44... I have invented lots of solutions in which no cars collide or get stucked and the game is still giving me one star...

I replied to your PM but just in case other people have the same issue; if you place speed bumps (or, I assume, other obstacles) in certain locations, some cars won't enter the map at all.

Thanks a lot, that's what I was thinking about that level. It generates cars outside the screen where they can even collide with each other.

There is one thing I wanted to ask about, it isn't particularly related to any game or medals being broken, so I put it here.
The situation is like this: you play a medal game, you click on one of the medals to check it or to check if it has unlocked and either it works in a normal way or you cannot enter that medal menu at all. The most important is what occurs next: when you try to open anything else on Newgrounds in the meantime, you get a notification "You are making too many requests". Why some games are causing this to happen? Are those games overloading the connection to Newgrounds API?

That Aventuras do Sr Riso game does that crap big time!

That's one thing I was trying to explain which might actually be related to broken medals as well, since that game has one broken medal, the "Circus Saved" one, despite mods (or at least Shantom) not wanting to agree with me it's broken. (It actually is broken)

And that's what I'm saying too. If a game is literally spamming the Newgrounds connections and, IMO, actually harming Newgrounds itself, whether due to malicious intent or, more likely, sheer incompetence and faulty code, then maybe it's best if those sorts of games just don't even have medals, since clearly it's detrimental to the site itself.

I just wanted to tell about the possibility of earning 'hidden' medals. There are a plenty of them, and I happened to get one today.

When a touch medal has decided to stay invincible by not letting it be awarded by anyone, it successfully goes into a deep, triumphant sleep. This makes the medal only visible to the author and its points reduced to zero until someone earns it.

The game I got a hidden medal from is Super Santa Bomber. I only saw two medals when I had started the game so imagine how happily surprised I got when I saw a third one appear from nowhere!

Screenshot

Two other games that I know have hidden medals are Roomryder and Sokoboom 2.

Hey, I have bad news for you...
You're no longer the only one to have achieved that medal, hehe.
Although I've spent 3 hours for it, but when I found out that the key to get the 3 stars in each level was to not let any Santa die it turned out to be easier than it looks.
Anyways thanks for sharing your experience, cause I hadn't played that game before,

A question about the game or rather medals in it - the ones for finishing levels under par in all categories. I wanted to ask how some of the levels are possible to be solved under par, especially when it comes to the par value related to the number of wells used. For example, in level 2 the par for wells used is 2 and I made it like this - see below - and got no medal for this. How could it be possible to finish that level using only one well? I even wanted to fill one of the circles first and then change the position of the well as fast as I can to fill another one, but when the second one is full the first one is starting to deplete. Also there is a medal for finishing 100% levels under par, so my question is: how can I finish level 1 with the number of wells used below the par of 0? How can I use -1 wells? ;-) Since he made a guide for this game, I'll leave a tag for @DiMono here.

They must have been denied by moderators, but the pop-ups stayed in the game since these can be removed only by the author. And because they are denied they can be worth only 0 points. There are some examples of games like this one on Newgrounds. One thing is for sure, that these medals aren't taken into account when it comes to the total amount of medals/points.
I only wonder for what reason those medals have been denied?

Thanks. Since I've been 20th in the top medal point users list, I'm already familiar with them. My question is actually your last one. :)

In case if you are having problems with medals in this game:

If they do not unlock for you in the real time do the following:

1. Save your game;

2. Reload the page;

3. Open your saved game;

4. Enter the level that owes you a medal;

5. Just wait for a moment and exit to level select...

...and the medal should already be on your account.

Is there still a way to get the "Nightmare game" medal? Since it requires less than 20 coins, and the game only ends when you get all achievements, and at least 6 achievements require more than 20 coins

Nevermind. Just got it. Gotta pay more attention to medals descriptions - that one was pretty literal.

Response to Newgrounds Medals - Games and Tips 2017-04-03 09:52:42


Not sure if it's been mentioned, but this game has medals, even though if you click on the game it doesn't appear as if it has any medals at all.

They do work and once you earn them they will appear in your medals pages, even though they don't actually appear on the game's page itself, strangely.

Any other games like this? Where it has medals, but they don't actually appear on the game's page itself?

Also does anyone have any strategy for the Slenderman games, or is it just 100% chance and you literally have to get really lucky to win?

There are a number of Slenderman games on Newgrounds, all playing more-or-less the same where you have to collect some amount of pages before he gets you, except he randomly appears anywhere.

So is there actually strategy to any of those games or are they just entirely luck?

There is one problem with this game @01010111 :

When you enter the game, the initial menu screen is totally black. All you can do is just click around to find the start button. Did anybody find a solution to that problem or at least if there is anybody for whom the menu is visible - could somebody post a screen of that menu, so everybody would know where to click?

I wanted to ask abot something: was the author of this walkthrough
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zE2zERXx0gw
playing the same game as I am? Because either:
1. It is some super easy version;
2. The current version has been made harder;
3. On the current, faster computers the game is working too fast.
It is visible for me especially on the manhole level and during the final boss fight. On the manhole level I cannot do more than few steps without being hit by a lightning (forget about the no-hit medal) and as for the final level... as I can see the author of the walkthrough could just take a walk around and approach the boss without any problems while when I try to do it it looks like this: I hit him, he falls, gets up, calls a bombing, I recover, try to move I get an axe hit, get up again-he calls another bombing and so on so I even don't have time or ability to move myself and get him. During the whole walkthrough video he calls the dragon 1-2 times and 2 bombings, during the same amount of time I am getting about 10 bombings, sometimes even 3-4 in a row!
Something is stupid here...
Since I bought the new computer it is not the first time I am experiencing a situation like this when a game is working much faster than it should. But what am I supposed to do? Somehow slow the cores of my CPU down?

Domo Kun Angry Smashfest? You know it helps if you type out the name of the game or include a link to the game on Newgrounds

playing the same game as I am? Because either:

Yes.

1. It is some super easy version;

Nope.

2. The current version has been made harder;

Nope.

Also nope.

It is visible for me especially on the manhole level and during the final boss fight. On the manhole level I cannot do more than few steps without being hit by a lightning (forget about the no-hit medal)

Then you're not hitting them fast enough. Too slow and you get hit by lightning.

and as for the final level... as I can see the author of the walkthrough could just take a walk around and approach the boss without any problems while when I try to do it it looks like this: I hit him, he falls, gets up, calls a bombing, I recover, try to move I get an axe hit, get up again-he calls another bombing and so on so I even don't have time or ability to move myself and get him. During the whole walkthrough video he calls the dragon 1-2 times and 2 bombings, during the same amount of time I am getting about 10 bombings, sometimes even 3-4 in a row!

Maybe because you're not doing it right. You do know those dragon calls aren't random, right? If you just go flailing about a bunch of course he's going to call the dragon a bunch.

Something is stupid here...

Nope just a legitimately hard game.

Since I bought the new computer it is not the first time I am experiencing a situation like this when a game is working much faster than it should. But what am I supposed to do? Somehow slow the cores of my CPU down?

Nah. It's most likely you're just not playing it right. Also that game is best played in Firefox browser so try using that.

I had to make this post a bit shorter ;-)

Well, I could argue about that. When I was using my previous, 8-years-old laptop many games were running slower for me and some of them I simply could not play because of CPU/graphic card requirements. I mean especially Smokoko's games that are pretty graphics-intense and IriySoft games, especially the night mode in Cursed Treasure 2. Because of the lag it was unplayable for me at that time.

After I bought my current computer I noticed that I can finally play those games, but also many games are running faster for me than before. In some of them it gave me better control, in some of them it increased the difficulty. Surprisingly I am still meeting games that lag for me, but this is probably because of poor optimization of those games or terrible memory management. There is one zombie games series...

Continuing: several times I was checking a walkthrough for some games and noticed that they indeed are working faster for me than for somebody that recorded a walkthrough 3-4 years ago. So probably the hardware matters. Well, even the browser matters. I for example noticed that Firefox seems to be faster while Chrome is more reliable, stable. Yes, I can feel that slight difference.
But returning to the hardware issue: I could make my own video to compare it with those I mentioned and it would show the difference between the speeds of the played games. The difference is possible. It can depend on the way in which the game uses the users' computer's CPU and/or RAM. If it can use more of the computer's resources... But if that happens - it only shows another problem with optimization, but in the opposite way.

Another BTW today: congrats on entering the 400K zone on the list!
