Did you click the tent in the ending screen? I can only remember that I also had problems unlocking this one and somehow it still worked after a while.

Changed these to load over HTTP which will hopefully solve it.

I've clicked everywhere in the ending screen (where it says "parabens"), I even managed to beat it without losing any life, but nothing. It's clearly broken (unless I'm missing something which I'm sure I am not)

It's been a while since I played it, but I am recalling that this medal unlocked for me in a weird way, even without beating the final boss, so it is bugged. Few months ago NeonSpider also raised that issue. Anyway I will try to get in touch with the author because people should not be forced to guess what they are supposed to do.

It's a glitchy one but if you keep clicking everywhere on the tent after beating the final boss you'll probably get it somehow. :/

@HerbieG
I already contacted the author long time ago. He said it was working and didn't bother to check.

I just beat it, checked out the medal without doing anything else and it was unlocked :/
One of the weirdest medals I've encountered in all my medal hunting adventure.

After completing the requirements the medal popup appears, but the game medals do not actually unlock. The following medals have only been unlocked by the author of the game and appear broken:

Don"t touch the king!
Awesome stand
Robin Hood
Samurai
Tactics Genius
Legend of Epic
Superstar

Some of those medals have not worked in years. It would be nice if they could be fixed, if not then remove them.

This is likely using the javascript version of our API that NutcaseNightmare created before we launched Newgrounds.io - it depends on third party hosting from Heroku which only gives a certain number of free connections per month before failing. Ideally we could get older HTML5 games to update with Newgrounds.io... I'll PM about that.

That'd be great, since I'm frequently finding old games with broken medals due to the update that took place around August. Thanks Tom.

About the rest of them: I'll leave it to Tom since it may be related to the update you mentioned. Maybe they would work under http for example.

Regarding unity games: I may try to PM or e-mail the authors and ask them if they can move these games to WebGL of html5.

Oh, and about that massive listing of games: this reminds me my own behavior some time ago, keep up the good work! :-)

This game just freezes once you interact with anything, making it impossible to gain any medals. Also seems to be a post update thing.

I reached out to the author of OH MY KIM about trying an HTML5 export. I unpublished the second game and set the remaining games to HTTP to see how that goes.

In my quest to have complete game database on my account, here is the list of the games that don't work

Classic. This should have been removed long time ago. So many better games were removed, and this isn't.

This one had a bug in a shotgun tutorial, but apparently, it is sitelocked so hard that it won't work on NG anymore at all

This game doesn't work at all, albeit it seems like magically, month ago a batch of users simultaneously gained medals from it. Maybe the game works on a specific day?

This game doesn't work at all, there is a "connection error"

The medals are not working. PMed the author, he said that he will fix it, but year later it's still not fixed.

While the game is more or less impossible, there is still a medal for 127 deaths, except that it doesn't work since 2012.

It seems like the guy forgot to delete the medals from that game, as they don't work at all.

This one hurts the most

In my stupidity, I left this game "for later", and when I finally wanted to beat it, the game doesn't seem to load anymore

Puzzling Rush is working fine for me. Try a different browser.

Tried it, still doesn't work. I would also ask you to keep such advice to yourself

Yes. How the game can work, if the flash itself loads from a non-existent website? I feel like I'm being trolled.

I am also using the latest Firefox on Windows 8.1 and the game fails to work for me. I even tried Safari, no use.
Just a black screen.
If you check the reviews this problem is known for years, Ionrayner mentioned it in his review back in 2014.
It is like the game is working for some people, for some people doesn't and nobody knows why. I personally tried it on all available browsers, on 3 different operating systems and still nothing works.

Anyway it is still not enough to delete the medals, because for some people the game works.

By the way, I PMed gamezhero dozens of times to make them do something about it, but they never fixed a single thing in their submissions. Wait, they fixed one. I once helped them fix the 4 Walls, but of course they did not fix the medals, so they got removed.

No. I guess I will have to investigate the matter myself. Albeit I might need your help, but I will PM you then (sorry).

I did test the game on different computers and laptops. This might have something to do with the drivers.

The game below has similar problem too, but I did manage to make it work eventually (it still lags in crucial moments)

I tried both games and had medal issues with both. If they can not be fixed, remove the medals from them. Sometimes, that is all you can do to solve things.

Browser addons (like Ghostery) work the same way if they're related to securing your browser and can cause interference.

I actually tried it on 3 different computers with lots of different settings, with add-ons turned on, off, I just could not find a way to make it work. Even on other websites.

The minute you get hit with one bullet the whole game freezes up and doesn't allow you to restart or continue the level. I tried it on several different browsers with the same result and there hasn't been a single medal unlock since August, which make me think the instability might have something to do with the changeover to https in September. If someone else could play the game and see if they can unlock any of the medals that would be helpful.

Updating to http to see if that works.
