I remember that game. I also remember finding the end game obnoxious enough to just outright abandon it. In any case, it looks like you managed to unlock the medal without any addition assistance. Was it just a delayed unlock or something more complicated?

Well, I was expecting that medal to unlock like the other medals related to the previous complete collections of "artifacts", but in this case you have to leave the planet you are currently on-exit to the map of space; there you will see a circle different from the others without any description (not a planet, moon, planetoid etc.). You need to click on it, then click on "play" and you will finally see the game completed screen saying that you beat the game.

Why would the Author make extra steps just to earn the two medals?

You need to then keep the game open for hours for those two medals to actually unlock. For whatever reason the receipt of these scores is extremely delayed on the game. I had to leave the game open in my browser for almost 4 hours.

When I am ready to for those medals, I will have to remember to keep my computer on over night.

Thanks for the medal tips.

I'm stuck on getting ball fondler for seed of destruction. Anyone got any tips?

Nevermind. I practice so many times that I got it anyways.

Its kind of weird to have a category with one item in it, when it could be easily rolled into the larger Game Guides list.

That does sound odd. The medal guides should have a better organization system.

As an fyi, if you're having problems with getting a certain medal there's a good chance that someone has either written a guide for it (either here or elsewhere) or included some information about it in the comments section.

That is very true, especially for older medal games.

I had to leave the game open in my browser for almost 4 hours until I received the 5000 point medal and will likely have to wait just as long for the second one to unlock. A less annoying way around this is to just unlock those medals before you go to bed and leave your computer on overnight.

That's actually not necessary. All you need to do is meet the requirements (medals appear in game but are cheated on-profile), then reload the game and replay the game and you only need to wait maybe 10 minutes. They won't re-appear but they will go to your profile at some point doing it that way.

But there is still one broken medal in that game, currently at 0 points as no one has ever unlocked it. It's the one for 3-starring the final stage. Incidentally, there is one of the stages (but not the final stage) which is impossible to get 3 stars on and you only can get 2. Not sure if that oversight bug is preventing that medal from working, but probably. Most likely just a case of bad counting, requiring one more mole hit than the stage gives you or something.

I do wish Newgrounds had a bit higher standards for games than these CS101 type project games but unfortunately it doesn't. So that's why you'll see things like Whack-a-mole, Towers of Hanoi, Tic-Tac-Toe, and so on, which are extremely common assignments in beginner's programming courses. Even the endless Flappy Bird clones would fit under that umbrella.

I've played plenty of medal games where that was an issue. Not everyone interacts with the site the same way nor does everyone get medals to unlock the same way. What works for you may not work for others.

Here's a medal tip for you. Don't clean out your browser cache while trying to collect medals in games unless absolutely necessary. There are many medals which require one to reload the page and play the game again to obtain. You will never earn any of these medals if you don't stop clearing browser cache all the time.

The only time to clear browser cache in regards to medals is when the medal was earned but cheated from you *and* reloading the game and playing for about 10 to 15 minutes or so doesn't suffice for the medals awarding on your profile.

And I find it quite laughable you recommend people clear their browser cache after every play and present a method which takes 4 hours (if medals connection doesn't break by that time, which it often will in games) and meanwhile I present a better method which takes roughly 10 minutes, which you poo poo only because you unfortunately hadn't thought of it first before spending hours.

Rather than be thankful someone presented an improved means of obtaining the medals you just got mad about it.

This thread really isn't appropriate for your armchair critiquing of the site. Its not a medal game tip or trick. There are endless other places you can and have done that. Try to restrict it to those areas next time.

Nice backseat modding there. Are you a moderator? Didn't think so.

And it is relevant because it is precisely those types of games which frequently do have medals problems or need workarounds for obtaining them.

If you will come across a problem with getting medals in this game, especially for the infinite mode:

don't panic, it is storing medals data and re-sending them after you reload the page. The game seems to be disconnecting from NG quite fast.

Unfortunately after reloading your scores will not be posted.

Did anybody else lost all the progress in this?

My progress is perfectly fine.

My NGmedals medal assistant program is updated - the latest site update had caused an error. I had to update the version of Python that comes with it, so you need to redownload the ZIP file and overwrite the current program files if you use it already. Let me know if there are any further issues.

I tried collecting one of every powerup in the pre-boss stage of level 2, killing an enemy with every weapon in one stage, and I think I used every level 3 weapon but not sure. Pretty much did all I can think of right now. Unless it was the last thing I did and I lost my API connection, because NG.

Progress remains just fine. Probably your browser cache got cleared either you cleared it or it hit some default max threshold set for your browser and your browser decided to start clearing out some older stuff.

Also related but see here https://www.newgrounds.com/bbs/topic/1434726 which still no one has responded to.

The game is impossible to find via searching Newgrounds and try it yourself. Only way to get the game is if you just happen to have a link to the URL handy, because using the site search and whether you restrict it to games or even just all and it's not anywhere to be found anymore!

I'm guessing that when a game is removed by the author, then re-added, that it doesn't re-add to the search database, which would be a site-wide Newgrounds bug.

Does anybody remember who submitted this game in the first place some 2 years ago? There were also 2 levels in it and even medals were added, but finally the author failed to finish it and removed it:

Are you trying to determine that it's stolen or?

If so, it got blammed anyways.

And that's good news. Actually I was 100% sure it was stolen, but simply could not prove it since I did not remember who was the author of this game.

Anyone have tips on the first boss? If you spend time killing the minions, you never get to hit the boss. If you ignore them, you get skull spammed to death. Hard to find a happy medium, I just keep dying.

Have you tried sending a PM to the author for help? That has worked for me in the past.

The instructions found in the game description pretty much sum up everything you have to do to win. IT IS INCREDIBLY EASY AND SHORT! There are five 100 point medals.
