@ChihiroSen

Hi Shantom,

Thanks! Took a while to replay it, but it finally seems that the medals did unlock and is now appearing under my medals! Cheers!

Are those medals still working? Nobody earned anything from this game for over a year now.

Recently lost about 15 medals. Is there a list of the last few games that had their medals removed?

In this game the medals seem to be broken as well:

It only works on Chrome, on Firefox you just get black screen.

About Samantha's blood... could somebody explain to me why to play it I have to make it possible for the game to read the list of my friends for example?

Also noticed some loss today, yesterday I had about 500 points more.

A question to the Moderators and the author of the game @NightRaid-NG:
1. Medals from Bad Ponies 4 were removed;
2. But they still exist in the system, so they are displayed on users' walls like this: medals 4/0, points 80/0;
Now a question: how is it possible?
I thought that the system is now working fine when it comes to cases of removing medals from current submissions.

Can you check it from your side in the Project System? Are the medals still visible for you?

Now that's weird... I thought that in cases like this they are being simply removed, not just denied... let's see if it is possible to fix this... can you remove those medals? Do you still have any power to do anything with them?

We have a button called "repair stats". I clicked it and the game was removed. I don't think that's the solution though =.=

It worked :-) Those weird stats are no longer on my wall.

I got something to check:

I tried to grind the 50 bombs medal, even counted them few times on 2 browsers, but it did not unlock. Last medal was unlocked about 3 months ago. I had a talk with the author today and he even didn't want to check the medals, so if they are broken - he won't fix them.

@Shantom - of course if this medal is not working then the other ones may be not working as well.

And another thing, also tried on Firefox and Chrome, the "What can I say?" medal. I earned this in-game achievement twice, but without getting a medal.

In Orbox one user unlocked the second medal recently. Of course finishing the game will take a while. I will check one thing again about the bomb medal today, a small theory.
In the Bees game I unlocked the pistol medal and the one for destroying the final boss, but couldn't make the upgrades one to work.

About repairing or resetting stats: maybe you could do the same with that Chalkboard Pong game? The medals are still in the system, the walls are showing 8/0, 370/0. I talked to the author and he cannot fix this since from his side the medal list in the project system is empty.

About repairing or resetting stats

I can only repair stats of a game in someone's list. I can't reset everyone's stats by repairing a game.
That was the reason I said it's not a solution, because I have to repair stats for every user manually :)

As for the game you just mentioned, did you meet a condition for any of the medals?

Wait a minute, so you only removed those medals from Bad Ponies 4 from my account and everybody else still have them?

So... what's the general solution for this? One question: the author of the game wrote that as he can see the medals are denied; why denied, not just simply removed?

PsychoGoldfish is the solution.
We can only deny them. That's how they get removed.

Well... that's a very strong ability... even the broken ones?
So what can be done in this case?
The Pong one is even more complicated since the author cannot even see the medals anymore in his Project System...

I can confirm that the Angry Bees "What can I say?" medal is indeed broken and I've reported exactly that broken medal in this exact thread a long time ago (check back many many pages)

Also lots of comments on the game itself about how that medal's broken.

-----------

[Visible] III

Both Construct and Engage medals are permanently and forever broken. Each required the user-generated-levels functionality, which the author admits in the comments of the game itself has forever been removed due to the service they were using for that going out of business.

Construct -- make and share a user-generated level.
Engage -- play a user-generated level.

I've tried replaying the game.

Play that game again and read my comments written in the game itself. It's not an intuitive unlock but follow what I wrote and you'll obtain the medal.

Long story short, you have to click the zipline thing both times. Do *NOT* click the green arrow at the top to cross back over. If you do you won't obtain the medal.

So in other words you click the zipline to first cross over. Then click the zipline again to cross back (do *NOT* click the green arrow at top). That'll give you the medal.

Not a broken medal, just illogical means to obtain.

An update to Orbox C case: looks like the medals are working! Great news :-)
I reached the ice levels and unlocked the medal and then a light bulb appeared above my head - kind of enlightenment - and suddenly I realized what am I supposed to do to unlock the bomb medal. You cannot just touch the bomb and wait for it to explode, but you have to force it to blow. When you touch it just quickly press the proper arrow key again and it will explode instantly.
