Like I suggested earlier, if medals aren't unlocking using Ruffle, try turning off Ruffle in your account settings so the game launches with NG Player. I was able to unlock a medal in this game that way.

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.

The last secret medal seems to be broken, as I beat level 15 (the last level) in two different playthroughs, even after refreshing the page, and the medal didn't unlock at all.

Did anyone get far enough in this game to see if the last four medals are broken or not?



It also seems the author's newest game has medals that aren't working currently, have sent him a PM about that.

So, I've been trying to do many attempts on this one game but no luck.


Tried using different browsers or so and still nothing.


I see folks still getting the medals but I still don't get how.

I've made some research and found out a thread (started by you yourself), and one of the replies said that you have to play the game at the beginning of any month because of the Nutcasenightmare API failing later in the month. Just saying because I also found out about it just now. Getting medals in this site really is a harder task than it should be.

I can't test at the moment but it was last unlocked only two weeks ago - have you tried both Ruffle and NG Player?

I'm guessing due to old coding not keeping up-to-date with current changes nowadays. But I'll give this a shot and see if this works. Will let you know how it goes.

Actually I was wrong, it's got nothing to do with playing at the start of the month. It seems the problem is about your browser blocking insecure content, so you have to disable the protection. Here's how to do it in Firefox:

Apparently coding is so old that it works differently. I'm more amazed this is the oddest trick to make it function. I may keep this in mind for the future NG games to attempt medals.

Medals in this one seem to be broken. Have got up to rank S+ twice and still not unlocking. Hasn't been an unlock for the rank-based medals in 2 weeks so either nobody's playing or it's broken for everyone. As you can see on my profile I managed to unlock some of the lower-tier medals a year or two ago, but it doesn't seem to work for me anymore.

Just glitchin' about.

Try Firefox and see if that does the trick. If not come back here again.

He hadn't made any intentional updates recently but was wondering if he had some changes that hadn't been published until more recently, not sure if a fix will happen before the big update they've been trying to wrap up.

as mentioned on my first response,

i also tried on an old account on a virtual machine

the virtual machine (linux) only had firefox downloaded, and i didn't get the medal on there either, on a friday night


just tested again now with my current account, and i didn't get the game starting medal

according to what tom fulp said, i think it's not just an issue on my end, it seems like it's been occuring to other people as well for a couple weeks now, and perhaps it's some kinda recently published minor update/changes that screwed with the medal system? i'm not sure

Checked the medals by tapping the walnut 100 times - neither "100 Points!" nor "100 Taps!" were awarded.

Judging by the reviews, medals have been non-functional for a while:

Did not earn "Knowledge Creeper" medal, despite having visited the Codex more than ten times.


Seems something odd might be going on with The Interview Codex's score system - starting the flash once after deleting my scores gave me a score of 7, which went up to 14 after refreshing.


UPDATE: Refreshed again and saw my "Who visits the most?" score go up to 21 - seems its definitely going up in increments of seven, for whatever reason.


UPDATE 2: Checked on Brave - seems only Firefox is having this issue.

Ended up dicking about a bit further on Brave and found out it has that issue as well - got credited with multiple visits every time I refreshed the page (3 the first time, 4 the second time, 5 the third time, etcetera)


Checked Newgrounds Player afterwards - didn't have the issue, so I think its probably an issue with Ruffle.

Found out a couple of Rob1221's games are suffering from broken medals.

First's Polarity Switch, which didn't award me "12 Levels" despite having finished every level up to Level 14:

iu_1186642_14526566.webp

Second is Dark Light Swap, which didn't award a medal after I'd finished level 4:

iu_1186643_14526566.webp

I did earn a couple medals on Polarity Switch back in early 2023, which narrows the search for any breaking updates somewhat.

There probably are more games of Rob's which suffer medals not being awarded, but these are just the two I noticed.

Portal Defenders: Tower Defense game medal "Curious" does not work. To get this medal, you click on "Meet the Team" at the title screen, it opens the website in a new tab as expected, but then ruffle crashes and you don't get your medal.

FireFox 124.0.2 (64-bit)
OS Name   Microsoft Windows 11 Pro
Version   10.0.22000 Build 22000

Ruffle error:


That's odd, I had this medal unlocked awhile ago.

There's a chance Firefox got an update and it did something but uncertain. You could attempt to get it on other browsers if doable.

I recall Ruffle having an issue with opening links before, but it worked for me just now on the latest version of Firefox, so not sure. You can try using a different browser, but a more reliable way might be to change your settings to use Newgrounds Player instead.

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.
