Ran through a few more JackAstral games:

The delay between enemy spawns extends with every wave, to the point of causing enemies to virtually stop appearing on Wave 10. This makes maps practically unfinishable.

Nice work on that! Some of those are pretty hard to find.

Cool coincidences and Congrats!

35,000+ saves

Ended up feeling rather ill recently, which has slowed the streak recently. Hasn't stopped it though:

Getting exactly 6.9 seconds is borderline luck-based. Fuck me with a rake.

(+1 - 10/10 - cleaned out)

Started at 00:03 AM, ended at 00:07. Pretty damn quick, I'd say.

(39/43 - abandoned)

Only ones I'm missing are Med6, Med22, Med25, Med26 and Medlookingforhorror. Trying to find anything in that game is like looking for a needle in a haystack.

Also, I need to go over Munguia's collection again - I'm probably missing a lot of shit.

(6/31 - abandoned)

Ate a crash for this after finishing Level 5. Unsure of the cause, but it was 1:24 AM when the crash hit, so I went straight to bed.

I also discovered a medal goldmine recently. If I decide to gun for that, expect a jump in medal count.

Congrats man!

Very quick!

Nice. Hope you feel better soon, good luck keeping it up! Munguia's painting parodies in particular are a treat too if you haven't gone through all of 'em already.

40,000 b/p points

Unsurprisingly, I gunned for it, taking out the medal-rich games. I even found walkthroughs for everything on Youtube.

(+5 - 19/47 - in progress)

With Newspaper puzzle completely cleaned out, I'm gonna need something else to keep the streak going.

Also, I did get some medals on this earlier, but failed to mention it. Correcting that now.

(2/7 - Golden Astronaut found)

I'm probably missing one or two medals I got off JackAstral - I was focusing more on finding Golden Astronauts for Magnus. As of this writing, his guide's at 44/55 Astronauts found.

I hit 5.6k exactly, here's the games responsible:

(2/2 - cleaned out, ruffled)

(+17 - 18/30, abandoned, ruffled)

Avoiding those balls is a fucking nightmare Jesus Christ

(14/14 - cleaned out, ruffle tested, Golden Astronaut found)

No time to rest on my laurels. The Hexalist is 4.4k medals and ~1150 saves away.

Congrats JT!

Congrats man!

Real soon now. :) At this pace it seems you might be on it some time this summer...

85,000 B/P.

I'm still going.

(+1 - 2/2 - cleaned out, ruffle tested)

This was a fucking gutpunch.

(+5 - 7/7 - cleaned out, ruffled)

(+9 - 10/10 - cleaned out, ruffle tested, Golden Astronaut found)

Ended up forgetting to take the Golden Astronaut first time around. Getting "Completionist" was a real timesink, though, and "Champ III" was pretty much pure luck.

(22/22 - cleaned out, ruffled, Golden Astronaut found)

(+5 - 7/12 - unknown)

Might continue this one, might not.

(10/10 - cleaned out, ruffled)

(3/3 - cleaned out, ruffle tested, Golden Astronaut/Story Tokens found)

I've also been helping Magnus catalogue these Story Tokens - main reason I've stopped for now is because NG isn't gonna let me send any more DMs until he reads some:

Anyways, nice:

32,000 Blams

Congrats man!

Good going :)

5.7k down, 4.3k to go.

(3/3 - cleaned out, Golden Astronaut/Story Tokens found)

(2/2 - cleaned out, Golden Astronaut found)

(2/2 - cleaned out, Golden Astronaut found)

(1/1 - cleaned out)

(0/0 - no medals)

I didn't play this for medals. I played this because I needed closure.

I've probably said this before, but JackAstral's a fucking treasure.

(1/1 - cleaned out, ruffled)

(13/13 - cleaned out, ruffled, Golden Astronaut found)

(10/13 - in progress, Golden Astronaut found)

I'll get the rest tomorrow - the mining medals and getting every shirt's gonna be tedious.

(4/4 - cleaned out, Golden Astronaut found)

"Blind" proved the hardest to get - its surprisingly hard to not hit F5 whenever the battery runs low.

I would also like to announce that I have found and documented the last remaining Golden Astronauts and Story Tokens.

My screenshots should be up on Magnus' secrets page in due time. Thank you.

Hit a nice, round 5800 medals pretty fast after that last update. A lucky break with finding the high-medal Chompy definitely helped:

(8/8 - cleaned out)

(32/32 - cleaned out)

(6/6 - cleaned out)

(50/50 - cleaned out)

Had "Lost Keys" and "Lost Signal" fail to pop the first time around - should've heede Munguia's advice to let the music finish.

No point in resting now - 4.2k remain.

Think I might go through Munguia's collection one more time - pretty sure I missed a fair few medals.

Exp. Rank 42!

Well, I was right. I was missing a crapload.

(26/26 - cleaned out)

(21/21 - cleaned out)

(36/36 - cleaned out)

(43/43 - cleaned out)

Should've been 45 given the fucker somehow got elected, but ah well.

(1/1 - cleaned out, spirits raised)

(42/42 - cleaned out)

Protip: If you die with very specific timing after restarting (unsure of exact timing), you become invincible. If you get your sword out before the glitch kicks in, you retain it, making levels borderline-trivial.

Another protip: Right-clicking, then left clicking lets you move much faster than the game expects, limiting how much the pink enemies move.

I strongly recommend abusing both these glitches.

(15/15 - cleaned out)

Ended up grabbing and editing a random AHK script off the Internet for this. If you want to avoid RSI like me, here you go:

#Requires AutoHotkey v2.0
#SingleInstance Force
InstallKeybdHook
InstallMouseHook
SendMode("Event")
SetKeyDelay( 0, 50)

~$SPACE:: {
    While GetKeyState("SPACE", "P") {
    Send("{Blind}{SPACE}")
   }}

Munguia described this one as a rage game. After spending the last hour or so dealing with one of the most unwieldy jump arcs I've ever seen (fourty-five of which spent on trying and failing to get "Free conspitation dance"), I can see why.

The last two medals can remain unearned for now, though - I've just breached the 6k mark.

Four thousand medals, and nine hundred saves remain.

See you on the Hexalist.

216,000 Saves

248,000 B/P

Ey, the rank of ranks, the answer that questions and questions all answers! Congrats!

Congrats goldenstone!

Moving up man, Congrats!

Nice work on that too!

Case in point:

(48/49 - ruffled)

Only one I haven't got is "Not literal Names" - I do not know movie stars particularly well, so I'd love to get some help on that front.

(55/55 - cleaned out)

Bit slow to get medals, and I had to consult a walkthrough a fair number of times.

(78/78 - cleaned out)

This would have massively benefitted from keyboard controls. Holy shit this was a nightmare on my touchpad.

(16/16 - cleaned out)

Here's a walkthrough so you don't go insane getting this.

(25/25 - cleaned out)

(23/23 - cleaned out)

(33/33 - cleaned out)

(24/25)

"Experimental Blue Boss" is the only one I'm missing. Munguia did put in the description that it was essentially a buggy mess, so I'm not particularly shocked.

(31/31 - cleaned out)

I kinda suck at typing - this took me a lot longer than I expected :P

(13/15)

Only ones I'm missing are "Cock" (joke) and "Mellow".

"Mellow" is probably possible (if anyone knows how to get that, tell me).

"Cock" is just straight up broken - I tried following Munguia's walkthrough, and I didn't get it.

No real matter in the end, though - I'm still a hell of a lot closer.

3.7k medals and 800 saves left. The Hexalist is getting closer by the day.

Congrats

395,000 Total

I am now top 9000 in XP

Congratulations

Thank you!

Eyy it's over 9000! :D Congrats good dude!

Whoop! Congrats MatthewMcChan! And welcome back!

Recently pushed myself past the 6.4k mark:

(10/10 - cleaned out, ruffled)

(8/8 - cleaned out)

(26/26 - cleaned out, barrel of laughs had)

(+8 - 41/92 - in progress)

Bit slow on the progress, but its a blast so I don't care

(6/8 - abandoned)

Got to 600 or so pats before getting bored.

(12/17 - abandoned)

Controls are a PITA. I'm not hanging around.

(4/4 - cleaned out)

Got this one cleaned out in under a minute. Ended up recycling that AHK script I mentioned four hundred medals ago for this one.

3.6k medals left, and about 600 saves remaining. I've come too far to stop now.

Congrats man! Still rolling.

(2/4)

This was a blast.

(18/18 - cleaned out)

Got about halfway through this before breaking out Jayisgames' walkthrough (finishing the entirety of the Forest, and getting as far as Whelps Have Wings in the Mountains and The Sweet Lure Of Meat in the Caves.)

The Mountain Horror ended up needing some work on my end - both solutions Jayisgames gave me used too many moneybags to meet the Gold requirements. (Fuck, I should've gotten a screenshot whilst cleaning this out.)

(8/8 - cleaned out, ruffle tested)

Ended up having to play through this twice - the medals failed to pop on Ruffle.

(9/9 - cleaned out)

(5/5 - cleaned out)

Took a lot of trial and error on this one. Sent my findings to Magnus, who then made a walkthrough out of it.

(+18 - 20/20 - cleaned out, ruffled)

Poured most of my skill points into raw attack at first, but ended up putting some into HP later on.

(33/33 - cleaned out, ruffled, Golden Astronaut found)

Cleaned this one out by just pouring all my skill points into attack and oneshotting everyone in the Battle Arena.

(21/21 - cleaned out)

Cleaned this one out in about fifteen minutes.

(5/5 - cleaned out)

Went to bed immediately after this one - it was 1:33 AM when I cleaned this out.

(3/3 - cleaned out)

(32/38 - abandoned(?))

Massively struggled with Missions 9 and 11, and came close to abandoning the game because of them.

Ultimately gave up near the end, when I failed the final mission just inches from the finish, and responded by whacking my laptop hard enough to cause a BSOD.

There are medals for coming back for up to seven days, so I might go back tomorrow.

Protip: The game isn't tracking 100% health/bombless finishes on a level-by-level basis - you can easily get the "silent_warrior" and "bulletproof" medals just by repeatedly finishing Mission 1.

(7/7 - cleaned out, ruffled)

Fuck, this is a heavy one.

3417 medals left, 560 saves remaining.

Down to 3400 medals left exactly now:

(+6 - 8/8 - cleaned out)

Protip: The textbox is active at all times, even when you're in the skills screen.

(+2 - 9/11)

Spending 10k at the shops and getting to level 10 was getting tedious. Might get them later, if I need something to keep the streak alive.

(+6 - 7/7 - cleaned out, Golden Astronaut found)

Ended up forgetting to actually pick up the fucking Astronaut back when I was getting screenshots for Magnus. Whoops.

(3/3 - cleaned out)

Funny to think how, just over a month ago, I was at just over three thousand.

(Also, I'm probably gonna reach 1k blams before the week ends :D)
