Some tips from the author for the game:
Pro Tips: To throw konki, rather than just letting go of the mouse button, swing your mouse from left to right to build up momentum you'll be getting launches of over 500mph in no time!

Don't use you small boost (up arrow) untill you really have to, use it to save youself from stopping or bring you onto volcanoes and rainbows. Use your tilt wisely, holding left will elevate you further but slow you in the process!

Same approach with the special vehicles - use them wisely, the rocket is probably the most important, try using them at the end of your run. I'll be adding more badges, possibly some more distance ones too!

Some tips from the author for the game:

They actually make a huge difference. I still get the feeling that this game depends too heavily on sheer luck. Even a mildly succesful round takes up more than five minutes and when you then hit one of millions of obstacles that bring your speed down to almost zero, you will be sad. A kind of upgrade system would be good, so that you actually get rewarded for a decent score.

You have no idea. 100 km took me about 20 minutes to play.

Also, the speed and physics in this game don't make sense. If you stare at your speed, distance, and height, you'll notice peculiarities. When you hit an obstacle in space, your speed probably won't take a hit, but your distance and height will stop changing for a moment. Like, what?

Apparently this game is on the gameswithmedals list, but it seems to display no medals... hmm...

It's a game from CazaZach, so don't count on the medals working (which they don't).

Also, it's obviously stolen work. IF you go to the main menu and look on the bottom, you can blatantly and plainly see the name of the real creators, and links to their sites (altho both links go nowhere, so that's another hint that it's stolen right there).

Oh man, you're right! In fact, the original game is even on the Newgrounds, and was submitted in 2003!

Thing is, I don't know who to contact about these stolen flashes/"medal"games or I would report it. Usually when these show up, neither Tom nor Wade is on, so who would be best to give a PM about these?

That's a good question. I already PM'd Tom about it, but I didn't even think to see if he actually was on line at the time. My guess is if not Tom or Wade, maybe a moderator? It was like that last time some idiot was spamming while posing as a member of Soup Squad.

Even if it does pass judgement (sadly, it seems folks do tend to pass crappy/stolen games if there are medals), at least Tom has links to both games through the PM I sent. But a definite answer on who to send a PM to if Tom or Wade aren't available would be a bonus, especially seeing how there isn't a whistle system at the moment.

Yeah, that and he also put down thief/stolen for the tags on it.

That's the first time I've heard of a stolen game having medals for it. LOL. I wonder how that slipped by?

If that's your first time, prepare for the second:

That one's been around for almost 8 years, and he's just now claiming it's his game, even tho "2003 GameRival" is printed in the left hand bottom corner.

It's indeed something you can get mad about, and it's not just that it deletes it once: it doesn't save at all.

Tom to the rescue. He deleted the CazaZach version. Unfortunately, I wasn't aware of the other game he supposedly stole as well (I say supposedly not because I doubt the theft, but I couldn't find any other info as to who the original author of the game was to prove it), so I didn't tell him about that one. If anybody's internet's search-fu is better than mine and can show that for a fact, I wouldn't hesitate to PM Tom about it.

The last 3 medals in Burrito Bison Revenge are broke, right? No one not even Nijsse has them apparently. I know the 15k distance and Sir Yes Sir didn't unlock for me. I do have a back up but trying to get thru the 40 I had left.....
