Medals added to all of these games. They seem to be in working order, some take a little bit to unlock. Difficult games though.

It means it's a secret medal that hasn't been unlocked yet.

It does that on my profile, too. But secret medals also show up with a blue lock when they are still locked. That's what I thought OP meant.
What NekoMika said is correct. There's a weird glitch or something that shows that unlocked secret medals are still locked.

Can confirm. And it's almost always, rather than always, too! For a lot of his games, particularly the earlier ones, you will likely need a walkthrough at least at some point due to his heavy usage of bat logic. And for those unaware of what bat logic is it's when a game requires you to do certain things which are in no way even slightly logical but you have to do them like that.
There are some selfdefiant games with no walkthrough though and for those you'll just have to slug it out and hope you don't get stuck.
The Tab trick can also help on at least earlier selfdefiant games. Doesn't work so much on newer ones. And for those unaware of the tab trick it's where you keep pressing tab and it'll cycle through clickable items by highlighting them with a yellow rectangle. Tends to work in lots of older Flash games. Actually should work in any games in which the author didn't explicitly disable that functionality I do believe? It's like a default, for debugging purposes.

Most Walkthoughs would not include cheating. If they do, it would be noted that it was a cheat. That way people the wanted to play fair, would ignore that section.
Highest Score medal "Get the #1 All-Time score in Invaders From Space."
I noticed a few more people had recently obtained that, yet none had surpassed Nijsse's score and mine being the #2 score right behind Nijsse. So much time spent trying to surpass his score to obtain that medal when I had an idea.
I simply clicked the little down-pointing arrow at the top-right of the in-game high scores and changed it from All-Time to Today. Medal get!
Much MUCH easier method of obtaining that medal and finally don't have to keep trying to surpass Nijsse's score. So all you gotta do to get the medal is get the highest score for the day, and change the in-game scoreboard from All-Time to Today. As it's not a newer game and presumably not as many people playing it, this should be easy -- either get the best score for the day or wait until a new day and get the first score of the day (by default top daily score).
Now I feel silly spending all that time trying to surpass Nijsse's score when there was this much easier method.

Thanks for the tip! That is certainly much easier. Seems this might be a one-off or rare strategy, sadly - other games with similar medals seem to check the scoreboard themselves.

You'd have to know all the games that have scoreboard-related medals, don't think there's any way to find them automatically. I tried this on a couple that I had posted about before.

Well I'm not a fan of global highscore-based medals for obvious reasons. Namely that all it'll take is one person to cheat the score and then ruin it for everyone else. But besides that point it's kind of a douche move (but not against any rules) for a player who already has such a medal to continually try to max out some ridiculous score for the express purposes of locking others out of that medal.
For what it's worth, in those cases, I have tried to get higher than the top score, but not too much higher, just enough so that I can claim my medal and then allow the next person easier access to it. But of course regardless if you do that it's still more difficult for each next person to earn. And it really does look like Nijsse just intentionally grinded out way beyond what was necessary in that game just to make the medal harder for others to earn. Fortunately I found that workaround for that one game.
As to if it'll work in others only way to know is try it. But so far it hasn't worked in the few other games I've tried it in that have global highscore requirements.
Also what if you did happen to earn the top score but then for whatever reason the game did not unlock the medal for you? Broken medal? But it'd be really hard to prove if people need to top an already ridiculous score to get a shot at seeing if it's broken or not. There is a case of another game with global highscore medals which you have to go to the main menu of the game and load high scores from there or you'll never get your medals even with global highest score, so yeah always read the helpful comments but still.
And I try to leave helpful comments if some medal was just completely not fair or didn't award in a usual way. I know some people like to keep that stuff secret, but I compete based on skills, not based on knowledge of some arcana no one else is privy to.
I really have to thank @PulseLane for this.
As some of you may know, I was cheated out of Beat Weedman, Beat Weedman So Slow, and Beat Weedman So High medals. I thought they were broken as they never awarded for me, and also it never recorded any times for me and my "Weedplays" would not save correctly for some reason.
Well I watched PulseLane's "Weedplay". This game is so stupid! In order to obtain the Beat Weedman, Beat Weedman So Slow, or Beat Weedman So High medals, on the last screen you have to take the girl, then move left for some completely bat logic reason and somehow don't die.
What I had been doing was jumping over the girl and escaping out the exit stage right. Since it's possible to pixel perfect land left of the girl without picking her up, you can do that, then jump over her, then run out the exit to your right. Well if you do that way you'll still beat the game and get the same ending, just it'll never award you any of those three particular medals. (You can get all other medals doing it this way however)
My "Weedplays" still won't save correctly and are all corrupted and won't play back, which is a real shame. The one I had saved (which displays only the broken jpeg picture) was of my perfect run through the game, no deaths. And that would have been damn impressive for people to watch and it took a lot of tries to do as well. At least people can get all the medals now. (Well, provided they have the skill required for this super hard game!)
Rivea
To get the Resourceful medal you will have to play the game in Chrome, and what worked for me was replaying the first stage about 50ish times in a row, using the bomb each time, all in one sitting.
I know for fact if you just merely play out the game normally, even though you've certainly used bombs well over 35 times (what the medal description states) it will cheat you the medal. Do it all in one sitting without reloading the game.
Also I know for fact this will not work on Firefox as you can never use the bomb ability on Firefox because for some reason it just pauses/unpauses the game on that browser when you left click (which is supposed to use a bomb), despite P also doing the exact same thing so there's no reason for this.
Dynamic Systems 2
You can just ignore the "locks" on the level select screen. You can play any level you want at any time, regardless if it still is "locked" or not as the game does not enforce the "locks" for some reason.
Use this to your advantage to play only the stages which award medals if you want the medals faster.

Well thanks man. Just trying to help people out. Like I said, I'd rather compete based on skill than based on keeping secrets from people.
So especially if a medal or medals don't tend to award fairly, that seems fair enough reason to put up a guide of sorts. I also do the same in my comments of games sometimes. I know if I'm having problems with medals, first thing I do is read through the comments to see if anyone put something useful.

And you've actually tried on different browsers? You've actually cross-posted this to lots of threads by now.
Clear your cache, try on different browsers, and also sometimes you gotta wait a while while a game loads depending on computer speed and Internet connection speed. It works for everyone else, so it's probably just your computer and browser combo.
At this point, I would say just play that game on another website if it works for you there but not on Newgrounds. I'm not sure why that would be the case considering the Newgrounds version works just fine for everyone else, but that may be the easiest thing for you to do.
This game has 6 medals even though if you go to the game itself it appears to have zero medals.
The medals appear to work, however, and will be awarded on-profile should you earn them.
The in-game medals button will tell you about which medals the game has and how to obtain them.
Also, it's Acrobat Smashers when you play the game, but AcrobatTest on your profile.
Just one of those weird ones like that.
This stinker. This stinker right here.
As anyone knows who has played that game, there is no way you're getting any of the three hardest points-based medals off just playing the game normally. I mean maybe you can set up your mouse some weird way or it behaves different in some particular browser or something, maybe, but nah I'm not buying it.
I'll tell you what does work though! Play until the "Your Final Score is -- Is That the Best You can DO?" screen. Then, instead of clicking "return to menu" just right-click somewhere underneath "Is that the best you can do?" and above "return to menu" and choose "Back". You'll now play again at the same score as you finished. (It'll say 0 at first but then once it starts you're back at your old score). Repeat as much as you want until you're above the cutoff score for a medal, then lose, medal get.
Repeat for all three medals.
Anyone who has the medals either did it this way (except they weren't nice and telling how they did it, like I am), or else they did the big no-no of using a cheating program on it. Only two ways it can be done.

Since the medals are almost impossible to earn playing fair, will they be removed?

I gave the game a chance and played it for about 45 minutes. Yes, the medals need to be removed. Going through the six pages of comments, and several players mentioned that you need autoclicker to earn all three. If a medal needs autoclicker to be earned, than it should be removed.

No, but were you not paying attention? I literally spelled out one way to legitimately earn the medals without using cheating programs. That was the entire point of my game tips post!
If a game requires glitching to obtain medals, but every glitch is done straight within the game itself (not using some outside cheating program) then that is allowed and always has been.
Just do literally what I said and the medals are easy to get, but it's the only way they're easy to get.

I understand that glitching is allowed, but it always feels strange. Medals should be able to be earned by playing the game fair and square.

I will see what I can do. Keep up the good work with all the gaming tips.
Does anybody remember this game?
Is there anything you should do in order to get the "Game completed" medal except just finding all the artifacts? I found all of them, but the medal did not unlock.
