I gave some thought about the two games Reemus and Theia. If you could somehow get an astronomically old Flash version to get past Reemus, then I'll take it off the borked medals list. Theia on the other hand, probably requires a specific version of flash. I'm not about to dig around the dark recesses of the interwebs to find out which version(s) work and which ones don't. Unless someone else can do this successfully, or until the author fixes it, I'm not going to bother about its status, and I have a few medals left from that game.

I just loaded up Theia and pointed it out to the developer, so hopefully he'll read that and act upon it. I don't feel like playing Reemus again to find out where it crashes, but if someone else does, send that developer a message about it and maybe he'll fix it too.

I was just about to ask if Theia saying you needed to upgrade your flash player was a bug. Thank you for pointing that out to the developer.

DiMono is good, DiMono is wise.

I also sent a message to The-EXP about the pipe minigame in the latest Shift offering, as well as the point values. I don't expect anything to come of that one though.

When will these guys stop dumping retarded flashes on NG? Hell, (s)he is even worse than Blangaboy!

These people are way I've (pretty much) sworn not to bother with medals until they are approved and are worth points.

I still don't like the current medal API system. Just saying.

I left a different Medal gaming site to come here. I like that most games have more then 1 or two badges and I like the games here more :)

I can't believe this. I CAN'T FUCKING BELIEVE THIS!

I have been torturing myself with this piece of shit game for hours. When I finally got them all completed, the fucking medals didn't register. The resend button doesn't work, I tried and tried again. And I can't refresh the page because the designers thought by whatever they were thinking that it would be somehow more "challenging" to not save your data. It says it's saving, but doesn't do shit. THESE ARE ONE OF THE MOST PAIN-STAKING MEDALS TO EARN ON THE SITE. I FUCKING REFUSE TO ACCEPT THIS AFTER THE NON-STOP HOURS I PUT INTO THIS! I WAS ON THE VERGE OF CARPAL TUNNEL. AND I COULDN'T STOP BECAUSE OF THE POSSIBILITY THAT THE BROWSER WOULD CRASH AND LOOSE EVERYTHING. This wouldn't be so bad if the game would learn to save the proper way. I can not explain how aggravated and pissed off I am. You have no idea.

Um... the two medals that are broken are the ones for perfecting all levels, and you're right that they don't resend. However, the game saves just fine. If it's not saving for you, then I strongly suspect it's a problem on your end.

I got them all too. Ironically, since they're all secret, a medal walkthrough would be totally pointless, so people are going to have to check our profiles to see what's up.

Yeah, but since the descriptions of the medals are totally worthless, I think it'll just be a matter of trial and error.

By the way, I'm thinking of starting to play Echoes Act 1, but I first need to make sure if it has any broken medals. Anyone?

And it doesn't take long to click on all the options, especially since for some dialogue, it doesn't matter what you say.

The medal "1001 Nights" is broken. See below.

unfortunately it is true, all the two medals that are worth 100 points in this game are broken.

Not a hard game, but a hard one to do well at. I found it almost impossible to collect apples on level 2, for example, because I was constantly killing things to keep them from hurting me. No idea what the secret medal is.

Also, any idea what the medal for "All the super punches are performed" is about?

230/340 so far, but I may have to cut my losses at 305 if I don't get help on those two.

Well, I got the Fight Master medal, though I have no idea how. My best guess is that you have to use all the combos in a single round? I'm trying some things out for the secret medal, but so far no luck. If I succeed, it will appear on my profile, as all medals do.

Also, I finished the game very quickly my second time through, only died 5 times total, collected all apples, and my score was still under 13,000, compared against the top scores which are over 30,000. What the hell?

I DID use the walkthrough. The problem wasn't figuring it out, it was a pain in the ass to do it fast enough AND not fuck up.

Because I like the quotes from STREEMERZ, I shall use them to present my findings, simply thus:

"This [medal] isn't worth it I suggest you ignore it. Find something better to do."

18 hours later...

"I got [100 medal points]."

"Was it worth it?"

"No."

TheGreatPrime1 is my test account for this medal. You will not find it on my main account Fooliolo. At least, not for now. Also, I do not want to play this game again.

See, I don't think it should be a problem doing what you're doing. You're not cheating, you're applying a workaround based in the existing code. You're spending more time to get the medal, not less. I think it should be considered a valid strategy.
