Some of the medals seem to be unlocking correctly, but some of them, eg. Killer (make 100 cumulative kills) have only had 2 people earn them (the dev being one of them). The medal unlocks in the game, but not on NG.


Has there been any update if the medals were corrected?

Looks like Ninja Miner requires a connection to A10 that no longer returns anything, I've gone ahead and unpublished that.


Laser Links Puzzle is interesting, I can't get past the menu screen. I wonder if some of the Construct2 code no longer works in modern browsers or if something else is going on there... Might be an issue with loading a third party asset that is failing.


Wonder what broke with the Crystals medals, as well. They have a note in the page saying this version no longer works and it links to another version without medals. Maybe I should unpublish the medals version?

it probably has some old code that no longer works like this one

or this one where the jump key doesn't work on this site yet works on another site

all game does is go tell you play it on another site.

when i played madness combat project nexus i couldn't get the slaughter rank impossible medal where i had to kill 5000 enemies but i already did it twice i deleted my arena save file and i killed 5000 enemies again but the medal still wasn't there did i do something wrong by deleting my arena save?


Can anyone confirm if medals are broken or not in this game? I tried reloading several times but they don't seem to unlock for me.

Response to Official Broken Medals Thread 2022-11-19 20:09:21


I can earn medals in the game but when I go below the game to see them, it's only the medals I got before flash got shut down.

I hope I did this right. Sorry if I'm intruding, just eager to earn some achievements.

It worked for me in NG Player. A lot of submissions that are eligible for NGP seem not to unlock medals when viewed on the site.


On a different topic, I couldn't get any medals to unlock in Castle Crashing the Beard HD after trying twice, but people earned them as recently as 2 hours ago, so not sure what the problem is? Using Firefox.


See my news post with medal hunting links and tools. I made a program NGMedals that finds your statistics and unearned medals.

There is also a browser script.

I totally forgot about the NG player, I had it turned off in the accounts options. I turned it on and got the medals, thank you!

I'd suggest trying a different browser like Chrome.



Abobo's Big Adventure appears to be broken. I've tried switching browsers, turning off adblock + trackers, and changing the computer's date, but nothing works. Others in comments also have issues.

What isn't working for you when you play it? I'm able to start it up and start playing but I could be missing something that happens later in the game.

The medals, they show up as notifications, but they aren't earned. The icons for em are also blank.

I've tried to get the rest of the medals for Don't Escape 2, and while it says I've earned them in the Newgrounds player (the notification and medal earning sound play), it doesn't appear on the actual page saying I've earned them.

I'm also having a problem with [REVIVE], less related to the medal, more so the game itself


in short, one of the levels has a bug which prevents me from getting a medal

None of these medals worked for me.

Ruffle in Chrome


Try installing NG Player and running the game with it. I just tried it with a test account and these medals do work this way - check the strawberry medal for example. For some reason at some point Little-Rena's games just refused to unlock medals on Ruffle.

Thanks for testing! Unfortunately, my main portable is a chromebook and my PC runs Linux. But it's good to know that they work in NG Player! Maybe I'll run a VM to use NG Player.

This game is broken, when you open it with NG Player it launches a different game, making the medals unobtainable obviously

It launches "Nine Deaths Cat" as seen in the title screen, which is another game from the same author.

Actually it does not. The game's name should be Rats in a Hole, while the one that loads is Nine Deaths Cat.

I already PMed the author, waiting for response. I tried it even on Flash Player for the same result.

I'll try tagging @Muja here.

Medals in this game are broken and the author, instead of fixing them, repeats "reload the page" like a NPC to everyone that points it out.

Are you playing in Firefox? Firefox is having some issues with Ruffle so it might be that.

Not the issue. I always check such things on Ruffle, NG Player and even good old Flash Player and none of them work in this case. PMed the author, obliging to fix the medals.
