I figured it out with the flash version.
Doesn't go anywhere except for the loading screen.

True. It is an example of a game which is ridiculously huge in filesize though, and especially unreasonably so considering how simple of a game it is. It thus takes unreasonably long to load.
IMO there really should be filesize limits to submissions, and if there are they are way too lenient.
In exceptional cases where a game of epic proportions actually does need it, exceptions can be made here or there, but 99.99% of the time it's just complete amateurs abusing peoples' bandwidth and there's really no good excuse for that.
All medals in this game are now broken as the game itself has become broken at some point. First noticed by @SLjimbolian in his review of the game and I can confirm it after replaying the game to try to get the final medal I was short.
Entire game is broken, score never advances nor is displayed anymore (it should display upper-left during play), and the ship never speeds up the cookies it throws or throws any of the special kinds anymore.
About Revenge of the Cookie Ninja ...
Eh, the game is effectively broken, but I'm not sure the medals are, since you still can earn score, which can be verified by choosing to "Submit Score" after losing, then checking the recent scores. So it may be you can still earn the medals, just they've changed from skill-based medals to mostly excruciatingly time-consuming grind-based.
If the medals still work, you would have to just grind enough cookies, blind, all at once, then lose, then submit score to test. But keep in mind the score-based medals must be done in one play, whereas the scores the game keeps track of are daily-based and not per-play, so it'll be higher than what you did in one play (unless you only played it once in a day).
It's still a broken game and rightly should either be fixed or unpublished but now I'm not sure the medals are broken, since you can still obtain score, and the final medal, 10k points, might just require grinding 10k cookies at the phenomenally slow pace for hours (and hope the game isn't one that does the medals connection timeout).
This game doesn't appear to be awarding any medals. Is it awarding for anyone else? Is this a it needs to be set to HTTP issue? Looks like the last anyone unlocked medals in the game was in 2016.

It looks like the author is still around, so let's try:
@FrozenFire - could you check the medals in your Symphonic Tower Defense and make them work again?

The entire game was broken for a few years. The fla file is ancient, so the programmer just got rid of all broken NG related items (achievements, scoreboards, etc) and made the game functional again so I could re-publish.

So there is no chance to make the medals obtainable?

Sorry for the thread revival, but here's the game. If this was reported before, I apologize.
For how long (how much time) were you playing the game the day you completed all challenges? I'm asking because while you probably did not loose your internet connection the game could actually disconnect from Newgrounds API. I remember it has happened to me before while playing this particular game and since it is not re-sending medals all I could do was restarting the whole game. I'm afraid that it may be the case. Some tips: if the game has a save file it is good to refresh it just before completing - in this case - the last challenge to be sure that the game has a "fresh" connection to Newgrounds server. You may also click on one of the medals just before making last kills to make sure you didn't lose your connection.

Probably because the list hasn't refreshed yet, but the medals have been removed yet it is still on the list of games with medals.
It's impossible to complete the game as there's no way to get the emerald from the X Puzzle. Pity as that's a cool 100 points for finishing the game.
In the game Freak o'Lantern the medal "Legendary Terror" doesn't unlock. Multiple people in the comments section write about this issue and I have experienced it as well.
Broken game (spam) with a broken medal. Not really much else to report.
No one unlocked medals after the 10th of August 2018 and like written in the comments section the medals do not work since then.
Not sure if this one was reported yet, I've completed the easy and normal modes, but did not receive the medals. Is there any confirmation that you need to rank all three stars to earn the medals?
EDIT: Okay, the medals are working. The descriptions for them are misleading as you do need to complete every level - Easy, Medium, and Hard - with 3 stars.
Already mentioned by @neonspider in the comments, all the medals don't work.

Oh god, this is traumatising. Same story here..wasted so much time for nothing
TrumpGrounds no longer loads. It's already set to HTTP. You just get a black screen and nothing.

Except the medals in that game work now, or at least did when I last earned them. Generally speaking, if it's a brand new game, I'd say wait at least a week or two before reporting it here (reporting it in the comments of the game itself is fine), as there's a pretty good chance the game author will fix it themselves in that time and/or they will remove the medals. Plus there will just be way too many games reported here otherwise, causing long-broken games to be pushed back several pages and maybe not noticed by medal mods.
Also you've noticed there are games listed in the "games with medals" which have no medals. Not a case of broken medals. A case of the current "games with medals" pages being no good. I've brought this up several times where the old games with medals page is so much superior to the one they're going with now, point-by-point. It's some aesthetic "looks better on mobile" or whatever nonsense reason as far as I'm aware.
If you want the non-shitty games with medals page, it's here https://www.newgrounds.com/gameswithmedals
Bookmark that. The current official one sucks.
Current official one lists way too many games which don't have medals. It also neglects to mention games which do have medals. The far superior games with medals pages (the old one) do not contain such erroneous entries and fully list all games with medals. Also much easier to browse through and gives far more information at a glance. Just better in every single possible way.
This game is broken, it glitches when you defeat the first rival.
Also this game has been mentioned already but whatever. Medals for collecting bananas are broken, the rest of the medals (for jumping and dying) work fine.

Yes that one does appear to be broken.

LMAO stop reporting games which have already been (incorrectly) reported multiple times, but which do not have currently broken medals. (Yes they were initially broken but have long since been fixed way before you made this post). Yourself you have all medals in that game as of a day or two ago yet you did not correct yourself here.
It gets annoying.
If the medals are actually broken, and you've tried the workarounds and asking around and they're indeed broken, that's one thing. But when people constantly report non-broken medals it gets old.
Many games from https://desagames.newgrounds.com/ have had their medals removed.
However all such medals remain on-profile and you will have x out of 0 points possible. These phantom medals need removing.
Presumably they were removed as they are almost all Adult-rated games.
If medals are being removed from Adult-rated games then these also need removing.
And
As both games still retain their medals but are Adult-rated.
Another one that probably needs medals removed, if the site policy is to remove all medals from Adult-rated submissions.
The game doesn't play past a certain point anymore due to file size, so people who played it while it was still working suddenly find the remainder of the medals unwinnable.

True, however, if you see Tom Fulp in the list of creators, you can assume it's been given a pass. This one has. ;)

You sure it's not just game bugs? That game has a lot of them. See my review of the game for example. Every medal was obtainable then and I see no reason that's not still the case.
Or in other words you might have to reload it and try again several times before certain things work as they should. As the game can get hung or stuck, particularly at the wolf part.
Why do you conclude this is "due to file size"? If the game loads and plays then it's not "due to file size". Maybe you have something misconfigured in your browser? Maybe try another browser?
While it would be ideal if games didn't have bugs, that's not the case, and as far as Newgrounds considering medals broken, they must be permanently broken, not merely buggy or only award sometimes but not other times. Users are required to go through all the workarounds first.

The game does seem to be broken another way though, unless it works for someone?

Around the 3 minutes mark if you follow this you're supposed to end up in a room with the dead tree thing, and entering from the left, and you're then supposed to break off his claw to use as a weapon.
Instead what happens (tested on both recent Chrome and Firefox) is you enter that room from the right, for some reason your brother is already in that room playing with the dead guy (if you'll notice in the walkthrough your brother is not in that room), and you can't move or do anything.
But that certainly has nothing to do with the game's filesize.
If this is the case (and other people need to test to see if they can get past that part), then every medal except Got Wood?, Saviour, Sorceress, and Holy Shhhhhh are now broken.
You'll need to start a new game and not continue from whatever saved game to test this.
