Like I said before, if your game doesn't have medals working, we understand.
However, as you can see in the attached image, a crappy game that should've been blammed does not deserve a place in the medals games when the author himself states he can't fix it.
I am still have issues with the game. The medal did not work for me after several attempts.

Thanks for trying. Medals still aren't working in this game though.

The medals should be removed. There is no other option.

Which three browsers? Vivaldi, UC browser, and Internet Explorer? Because the game doesn't work at all -- cannot even get past the title screen with nonfunctional Play button in both Firefox and Chrome. And this used to work on Chrome but no longer does.
As far as I can tell the standard for removing games here has been that they don't work on any of the major browsers ever anymore. That standard hasn't been reached.
I had never even heard of UC browser until this post and had to look it up and apparently it's mostly used in China. Figures. And Vivaldi browser I would also class as obscure though I'd at least heard the name before. The only one that classes as not obscure of those would be Internet Explorer.
Anyway I suppose if it does work on some browsers it can stay, and thank you for trying that out. Internet Explorer is Windows-only and deprecated at that as in even Microsoft doesn't recommend using it anymore and could be removed in some future version of Windows at any time. Middle finger for everybody else.
UC browser apparently is available only for Windows and smartphones. Again middle finger to everybody else.
The only one of those I can even try is Vivaldi but I wasn't about to download and try that from someone who claims Chrome and Internet Explorer use the same rendering engine as clearly that person doesn't know what they're talking about.
But you I will rely on.
It's a really horribly-designed game when it won't even work on Chrome *or* Firefox, the two most widely used browsers as well as the browsers available on most systems.
Just FYI, but Space Manager is now working again and even the one broken medal "Space tycoon" appears to finally work again as it recently awarded to me and I see also others, for the first time in years.
There appear to be tons more medals in the game now as well.
What we know is the game is dependent on an outside website, so as long as game author maintains the site it should work, but that's the problem with any games reliant on an outside website is as soon as that site goes down or the author no longer cares to maintain it, the game then becomes broken.
Well this is different...
So when the game attempts to load, this error message (see attached) appears. I see in the author comments it was converted to Unity in Jan. 2018.

Click OK and then refresh the page and it'll keep loading some more. Keep doing that until it's fully loaded and playable. Yes some of these Unity games take forever to fully load.
Unity is garbage for the most part anyway, so it's rather unfortunate so many people hopped on the Unity bandwagon.
Not the only Unity game that does that and in fact not uncommon among them. And for all you just click OK then refresh the page and keep doing that until it finally loads some more or loads all the way.
The game is fully playable and medals work so this isn't a medals issue.
I played "Stealing the Diamond" and "Infiltrating the Airship" today, and despite the Medal Get pop-ups showing as I played, when I refreshed the pages after earning everything the medals were still locked and they aren't appearing in my profile either.

Just another annoying thing that happens.
Town Builder and Unlimited Level medals are permanently broken as they require custom level functionality which requires an external website which no longer exists.
Enemy in the Hell appears to be broken and has not awarded in years, despite the medals obtained *after* that medal still appear to work fine.
Those 3 medals need removing.
What is this noise? All medals are zero points and it feels like spam.

Good catch on that medal as well.

That would be the minimum. Instead of removing them all. until the author does something about the issues.

All other medals in the game work and should not be removed.

Zero point medal used to be a big thing years ago. Lately, they have been removed. Thanks for letting us know about these zero point medals.

Zero point medal just means it's a normal-pointage medal (5, 10, 25, 50, or 100 point medal) but where no one has yet earned the medal. It's actually good to show the zero point medals on the page because otherwise no one knows there are even additional medals to try for, and all medals start out as zero point medals. In many cases the medals are legit and can be earned but tend to be extremely difficult to earn, thus can sometimes take years before anyone manages to do it.
That said, there are certainly no shortage of people who seem clueless on how the medals work and add in medals to their games which don't work and then of course these also will be stuck at 0 points unless or until the author fixes them to where they do work and at least one person earns them.
I would say generally give new games at least some settling time as a lot of those issues get sorted within a week or two. If a game still has no earnable medals after a month or more, then maybe it needs looking into. But it's actually pretty normal for some few medal(s) to be 0 points even in very old submissions, and again in many cases they're not even broken just merely no one has done it yet. I myself have earned a number of such 0 point medals in older games, and which then became their true value after I had done so.
This game no longer gets past the title screen. Possibly needs HTTP ?

Changing it to HTTP didn't work but also it was sponsored by Y8, who has pulled all of their sponsored games from third party sites. I've removed it.

Ah, shame that. And good eye! I wasn't even paying attention to that. But maybe I should.
Could be the case there are still some other Y8 games still on Newgrounds.
MY RANK! medal is believed to be broken. Speaking with people who have obtained that medal, it was supposed to award after playing the game and losing, and then submitting the high score.
However since none of Jupitron games have high score boards anymore for some reason, this functionality was removed.
Also do note since it is a Nutcasenightmare API game, in the event no medals seem to work, wait until the start of a month to test it.

That's a pity. A few of my favorites were Y8 games.

Oh the medals aren't so much the issue, the game itself is flat out spam.

Won't be the first or the last spam game on Newgrounds. Blame the people who vote up that stuff instead of giving it 0's. Seems nothing gets blammed anymore.
Needs HTTP simple as that. Classic symptom of game freeze upon medal get rather than medal get.
Also needs HTTP

Rocket Run doesn't exist anymore and it's on the front page.

Nah. If a game is removed after the under judgment voting period, then either moderators or staff removed it or the game author removed it themselves. If game author removed it they can put it back up again at any time. If mods/staff removed it it's gone.
None of medals seem to work. Only one person has one of the medals and that is one of the game authors.
Pico's school medals don't work. I've tried playing it 3 times and the audio is off as well.
