I died 127 times and the medal popped up, as well as the ellipses (so you have to restart or something?) but nothing shows on my profile. Half of the other medals I've earned for Epic War 3 haven't popped up. The Runes of Shalk game has a medal I should have earned. I know I'm not that great of a medal wh0r3, but I do deserve a higher score than what I have. Is it just my computer or am I having the same problems with everyone else? I'm going to try and go for the notepad collab's medals again.

I always seem to get my medals, unless the medal is actually geniunlly bugged. I'm not sure if the glitch still exsists, but you play the game in a seperate window. Before there was a glitch where if you didnt do that you wouldnt get the medals registered.

Other then that its probaly your computer

You could at least make the gap between the springs and land the size of a tile. :[
I'll be putting up a youtube video of myself playing lastman soon if you guys are interested.

How soon?

Also, how close is this to the end?

I've gotten a bit farther. I must admit that the warp part was pretty clever. I'm actually enjoying this game. Sadly, the invisible blocks screwed me here. I know what to do now though.

This looks as easy as to beat AK2 on brutal without dying and without killing any bats...
Seriously man, what the fuck is this?
One cannot possibly do all that stuff in one run...
Put some checkpoints, have some mercy!
Also, is the dying part necessary or you just died there?
But if you just died, why did you include it in the video?

Nah screw that game only fucking idiots would try to beat the game just get the easy medal and FU2 it. I have a feel once the medal system goes fully public that either they will give out free 100 point medals for pressing a button or make them damn near utterly impossible to get just to troll the medal sluts.

As much as l'd like to discagree l know that this will be pretty much how it will go..UNLESS we have a medal control untit, which would be totally awesome...

He can't do this, this is really fucking stupid and YOU are really fucking stupid if you do this.
I don't really care for the 5 points, but l know that many artists will have the same idea.
And if negative medals are introduced the whole system will be fucked up for good.
And what do you mean by "I don't like this attitude?"
If you don't like it remove the medals and make everyone happy.
Jeez.

wouldn't be so bad if there was a checkpoint in place and only one life. the only way to complete it is to know in advance what's coming up. I pretty much lost track of what you were doing in the video, you kept going into different teleports near the end and I got totally confused. I really don't feel like putting myself through enough emotional and mental pain to actually play that game.

Let me get this straight:
Incredibly hard game comes out.
People bitch how hard it is.
Author says it's not that hard, uploads a video of him failing to beat the game, despite know exactly what to do everywhere.
People continue bitching about how hard it is.
Author begins getting annoyed, and reasons that it is best to piss off the stat-whore community even more.
People start bitching even more about how the game is both hard and the author is a dick.
Anything I missed?

I never said it wasnt hard. In fact i expressly said it's the hardest game on NG.

Sorry, but that position is already taken by "You have to Burn the Rope".
Amyway, some quote of yours I've found in your posts or game description include:

HEY STOP DYING AND YOU WONT SEE ADS! (Lol, upped it to 1 ad every 20 deaths to quiet the bitching. Seriously, what the hell guys.)
THE 127 DEATH MEDAL IS A BADGE OF FAILURE!
You could at least make the gap between the springs and land the size of a tile. :[

I take that back, you never said it was easy.
What you did say was basically "Lol, I'm glad I'm not a medal-whore!" and proceed with some sadism. And I'd congratulate you for trolling so many people so quickly, however OCD+ was both less fun and more frustrating as well as doing it earlier, so it just wouldn't be right in my mind.
Just remember, stat whores are some of the most bitter, angry, and whiny people on Earth. If people weren't around to write a bunch of guides a lot of them would most likely be in jail for a Spree killing. =/

Lol, ok.... but i like superhard games and i provided medals not for you statwhores but as a badge of honor for the few platforming-gods/masochists who will eventually be able to actually beat this game.

And it really isnt right to compare this to OCD+......OCD+ is like Takeshi's Challenge or that unreleased Penn & Teller game.....Lastman is like SMB2 or Makai Mura or any of those superhard mario hacks.
Learn the difference....it could save your life.

Developers don't need to beat the game; they just need to make it beatable.
The famed Konami Code came along because the person porting it found it too difficult for himself to play through.
I doubt PsychoGoldfish could earn Drunken Deity easily. And this, from where I'm standing, looks easier than that, considering that getting through obstacles will become second nature after a point.

Also, screen capturing software does lag up some computers by a significant amount. As PiGPEN had this, and little time to create a video, it's fair that he didn't win.
I have little doubt that he could win given enough chances.

However, I am against the negative medal point thing. Punishing people will just make people not play the game.

And that will cut someone's ad revenue!

By the way, when PiGPEN said "You could at least make the gap between the springs and land the size of a tile", he was commenting on how the image of the game 'looping' had been faked.

Normally I would say yes, but this entire game is a trial and error game. If you know exactly what to do, you shouldn't have a problem with it.

Once again, this game is trial and error, whereas Contra was just a precursor to modern day bullet hell. >.>

I doubt PsychoGoldfish could earn Drunken Deity easily. And this, from where I'm standing, looks easier than that, considering that getting through obstacles will become second nature after a point.

Now how about if PsychoGoldfish wanted to make it work negative points for people who lose on easy mode? I would be all for people being pissed off at him.

Also, screen capturing software does lag up some computers by a significant amount. As PiGPEN had this, and little time to create a video, it's fair that he didn't win.

I'm just being bitter, I don't really mind he didn't win that quickly.

I have little doubt that he could win given enough chances.

So could I, and if we give infinite time into that equation, my cat can also. Can you name a single game that "Given enough chances" you still won't be able to win?

However, I am against the negative medal point thing. Punishing people will just make people not play the game.

Exactly. =P

That makes sense, I was wondering what he meant by that. I had no idea that picture was faked, I just thought the person made a wrong turn somewhere. =P

I'm sorry but you guys are all fucking idiots. The game is hard because he wanted it to be. Beating a challenging game is much more rewarding than beating tons of shitty easy ones. I love playing the hacked Super Mario World levels that are really hard to beat because the satisfaction of beating them is much greater than most of the easy as shit games on Newgrounds. And the medals are just something to show for it in case you weren't screenrecording yourself during that run.

Quit complaining that the author of the game made it for the 'lulz' because he spent a good amount of time on the level design and I spent a good amount of time on the additional box art stuff.

We shouldn't have to be posting in a forum corralling medal whores so congrats to those who beat the game and a big middle finger to those who think it's a huge ordeal and the game must be burned to hell for how hard it is. Grow a pair.

Also I can't believe how many people are comparing this to OCD+. That game is complete crap. In fact, it's not even a game. It's pointless tasks and useless skillsets.

This game was meant to please the audience that likes hard games, not displease the medal-whore audience.

That would be cool if it could happen negative points. I think a hard medal to get would be clicking the ads 127 times, seeing as how people whiny and bitch about the advertising day and night.

So I got EPICHEROES(Beat the game with all 6 heroes) But never got my 4MUSKETEER medal for beating it with just 4...Any advice on a way I could get that short of clearing my saved data and re-doing 4 of the heroes?
