This game is such BS...(lame baking soda pun is lame). Lots of fun, I'm still working on the game w/o cheats first, because Gamer's Pride Syndrome. Very good game!

Yep, the game is just about moving blocks of BS to get that cheddar, haha. I hope you are having an easier time with this than the red maze in Strawberry Porn. :)
Nice Game great job :)
The sticking to the walls thing is just a challenge, I think you should expand on that idea and not just get rid of it because people find it hard or frustrating - easy games arn't as rewarding as challenging ones :)
TerribleDesign responds:
Seriously, at about level 16 you will need to use the wall sticking to actually pass levels and solve puzzles. It was added to the game to make it easier. The early levels don't use it because the puzzles that do use it are a bit more advanced.
Was there a legit way to find the lost levels? I've got the dragonrider medal now but not the one for finding the lost levels.
TerribleDesign responds:
Unfortunately, I think there is an issue with Stencyl. The games that use my regular programming have no issues with medals. It seems to affect random people. Sorry about that.
This is very creative for having such a simple and common general idea. Thousands of platformer games have been made, yet this one still stands out. The way the player must interact with blocks is unique to this game. In most games, blocks are just moved by pushing them. I think forcing the player to think with their head, pun intended, is an excellent addition and allowed for some very interesting levels to be made. Sixty levels (plus the lost ones) is more than most games of this kind, but I never did get bored, so this is fine.
It is a bit of a shame that so few people had the chance to play the lost levels. I mean, you did an especially good job on those <spoiler> the changed gravity mechanics were a welcome addition, as by that point the standard mechanics were getting old. Forcing the player to refresh the page to pass certain levels is odd, not out of place with the rest of the game.</spoiler>
The art is simplistic, and the story is non-existent, but honestly, I think this may have been for the better. It might feel a little weird to have some beautifully designed, anti-pun ant-ended again. The meaninglessness of playing the game fits well with the general strange elements of design. Truthfully, I rarely actually listen to the soundtracks of the games I play on NG. This one was no exception, but just listening to it now, I think it was a poor choice. The game's not <b>that</b> exciting. I'm glad I listened to some lo-fi hip hop on YouTube instead.
The medal requirements are pretty well chosen, with a mix of progress based medals, challenge-based medals, and grind based medals. Clearing the red stuff felt decent, even though it looked nothing like mold. I personally like the idea of splitting up no-death achievements. It makes them easier, but still pretty difficult to obtain. The "Beat x number of total levels" medals were both achieved while attempting to get other medals, and though I did have to grind a bit, it was easy to die a lot very quickly once you reach level 59, so dying one thousand times was very attainable. The medal "No Death 6" is the only one that I have yet to achieve, but plan to in the future. As for the "Play Fridge Runner X Times" medals, these I have no idea how to obtain. The "Lost Levels" badge does seem to be broken for everyone, so if you ever read this, please do remove it.
Ultimately, this is very good for a game as simplistic as it is, but I would be rather pleased to know how to unlock the medals for playing Fridge Runner a certain number of times.
nice game medals don't work :/
TerribleDesign responds:
They are working on my end. You can click the medals beneath the game to see who has unlocked them too. Were you logged in? If you play the game again when logged in, then beat a level the game will automatically unlock all medals on your save file again. As I don't see "BADGIRLQC" under the "Welcome!" achievement, I can only assume that you weren't logged in.
I hope that you enjoyed the game despite this snafu.
