How do you get the second medal?

Since it is not a secret medal, I will post the answer here. And I will let this picture speak for me:

Medals 28 and 29 do not however

Yeah, I'm not getting those either, mentioned that above (#29 showed up under latest medals but not on the medals page). Seems like it's an issue only for certain users though. :/

Eh no, right now these medals don't work for anyone. Without going too much into detail, the author accidentally added medals 28 and 29 twice, and after removing the duplicate the medal stopped working properly. It's likely the author won't be able to fix the issue correctly and if that's the case we'll just remove those 2 medals. There will still be 29 medals to unlock, so that's not bad, right? :)

I just can't figure out how to get 9 points or less on this game. Anyone care to advice? If there is an easy way to get a thousand points that'd be nice to know too...

I used impossible mode in order to get the 9 or less points. Just get hit by as many as you can as fast as you can. It took me 4 tries, but I eventually got it.

Huh, that's what I tried but even after like 10-20 attempts I can't get below 40. The first two times you get hit you become invincible for a bit so the score rises quickly... am I missing something there? :/

I don't know. The highest score I got when I attempted to get below 9 was 16. It seems on impossible mode, you go invincible for a millisecond. I got it the way I described, so I don't know what you are missing or doing wrong. Sorry, wish I could help you more.

I used easy mode to do it. The score goes up too fast in the other modes for it to be possible.

Could someone tell me how to get the Stickybeak Medal? It's the only one I'm missing.

I still need to know the solution to this, but I have another question: did anyone else suddenly lose about 2,000 medal points? I almost had 233,000 and now I suddenly dropped back to 229,000. What gives?

Also, the Games with Medals page seems to be alphabetized now, which really sucks when trying to find new games with medals.

You have to click all the scrolls (7 entries and 1 chemical thingy)

I'm installing some much needed fixes, so the gameswithmedals is temporarily alphabetic so we can easily check to see if games that were missing before are there now, and stuff that should have been removed finally got dropped.

Check back later and I plan on having a drop-down working so you can choose how you want to sort.

I also lost about 3,000 medal points. Guess there is a new clean-up procedure going on.

I would expect a lot of people's scores will drop. I'm doing a pure recalculation on every medal every user has and adding up the scores of all the ones that haven't been removed do to moderator actions or authors unpublishing their games.

A small part of these score drops will be from medals that might have worked at one time but are now broken and the author won't fix them, but the majority will probably be from shitty spam games with medals that got unpublished.

Thanks for the update PG. I was wondering what was going on. Also, I don't know if you will see this, but with these two games:

I ended up getting most of the medals, but they did not count toward my medal points nor have they shown up on my Medals Profile Pages. Will they ever be counted and show up or should I forget them and not try for the rest of the medals?

Looks like those were victims of an unrelated publishing bug. The didn't get linked to a portal id so the stats pages were treating them like unpublished games. These should be on your stats now.

And, there are lots of new games on it that weren't visible before!
And, the different games stat is now finally accurate!
And, our medal walls now shows every medal we ever earned!
