I went back a number of pages and I did not see this recommended so I thought that I would give it a shot.

Revamp the Games with Medals page. My most obvious suggest would be a filtering mechanism so that games could be sorted by score, submission date, number of medals, and medal points. In its current state, the page is just so overwhelming to those who are not playing every new medal game as it is released. Just looking at the page, I have no idea which of those games are actually good.

I think a distinction needs to be made between hard and time consuming. I would say that guitar hero has some of the hardest achievements and most of the other ones are just more time consuming.

With games in generally being so easy now, you practically have to play them again on a higher difficulty to get your money worth. Back in the day, you were not intended to be able to beat some of these games on the highest difficulty.

Are you implying that she is famous for being a really good actor?

First of all, calm down.

Which browsers have you tried.

I would suggest updating your flash player and restarting your computer.

Most of us have no desire to "master" a boring game just for medals.

You need to hit the UFO on the bottom, not the top. Similar to how a UFO would abduct something with its beam in a movie.

It seems like the only medal games that have good reviews are either REALLY good, or are just have easy medals.

I agree that it is quite fun :) . They only thing that really bothers me are games with broken medals. If a game sucks, just don't play it (ala FUD in the early days of medals).

wow, that game gets boring really quick.
not even gonna bother.

Agreed. I might play through one more time to get the second kill enemy medal but there is no way that I would want to play that for fifteen minutes straight.

Yeah, to get Icarus just keep flying on the cloud area, to get the jeep one just keep flying near the ground..luckily l got both by playing.

I finally managed to get the Icarus medal and finish of this game. It was pure luck for me as I never even saw the sun. I just fired at around a 30 degree angle and then used the AK-47 to boost be back up just below the point of going off the screen.

No that should be everything. Double check that you have all the weapons, all tanks, all jetpacks, the nuke, and the last-resort exploder. If so, try reloading the game (but NOT clearing the cache). This fixed a broken medal for me.

Yes, I got the medal two hours after I started playing (all in one windowed session). I was not actively playing for the entire time but I have played in excess of two hours and got the medal with no problem.

The darn sun medal still eludes me!

I just reloaded the game and got the space medal on my first launch so it appears to be working.

All that remains for me is the sun medal but I have not even seen the sun. Anyone have any advice?

That's weird. It must be a glitch for you because it's very easy to get. You're supposed to get it the first time you go into space.

Also, you have the World's edge medal; does that mean it works now?

I guess the space once is glitched for me. I can confirm that the world's edge medal works but apparently it is still glitched for some. I may clear my data and try for the space medal again.

^^ thanks guys, and im guessing you need to use one of the tanks to get into space...

I was fully upgraded, shot straight up and used all boosts but still did not get the medal. Do you see something special on your screen when you enter space or do you just see the number of "feet" increasing.

154 "feet" above the screen and no medal. This was with the best cannon and jet pack so I am guessing that this is glitched somehow.

I did not lose any of my medals and I had no problem loading it with ad-block.

Probably not working

Yeh, I've been 56 "feet" above the screen...

I can confirm that I traveled 104 "feet" above the screen and received no medal. Also, I have not received the sun medal either.
