Well this one is cheap as hell. Apparently all you need to do to "win" the game (and get that SPLAT medal) is press and hold Y on your keyboard for the entire duration, don't even try to bother dodging, and this keeps you invincible as long as you're holding it the entire time, and no arrow keys.
Thanks for that.
I don't know why holding Y lets you bypass to the end of the game. Is it an oversight or was it intentional? Guess we'll never know.
It's almost certainly intentional. Sometimes people put in cheap tricks into their games. I mean that wouldn't accidentally work, since it has to be Y and I can't conceive of any buggy reason why that would work. It's gotta be hard-coded.
Also since I believe people should be able to compete fairly, I think it's only fair to expose these kinds of tricks when I find them. Although I obviously also expose buggy ways (in cases where it probably was programmer oversight) of obtaining medals as well, since exploiting game bugs is allowed on Newgrounds, as long as it is 100% all done from within the game itself, and no outside tools used (Well you have to use a web browser to play the game of course).
And why I do this? Some people believe in competing by withholding as much information as possible in the hopes this gives them some sort of edge against the competition. I believe in competing using skill. But obviously if there is an easy way of obtaining some medals then people are gonna do it, and sometimes the only acceptable methods are cheap tricks or glitches. And if other people are obtaining medals that way, then you might as well.
So yes anything I think is a bit unfair, I will give hints to try to help other people out. And you're welcome.
And I always find it useful to read through the comments on games I'm having trouble with finding some medal(s) as well, by the way, as sometimes people leave hints in their reviews of games, although that can sometimes be quite some pages.
