On that game it tells you your kills at the end of each level. And completing the last level resets the kill count. That may be a problem for some people.

Good to know. I know i killed about 400 people per level on the last 4 levels, so maybe i'll try doing a few more and see if that gives me it.

I was able to get all the medals first run, but as other users have posted, I also played it as soon as it appeared on the medal list. So it's probably an update.

Hmm, must have overlooked that. Thanks, it's way easier that way.

Well, I did see it but I also didn't understand what he was saying...I'll try it later since now apparently there are some problems with the medals...

I didn't have any problems with them. All medals gotten. 2 more quick medal games; I like this trend.

Has anyone else found that the Narcolyxii game really bugs out at level 30 and above?

Indeed. The mobs stay on the page even after you beat the nightmare, and then it instantly drags you into the next nightmare.

Also, the lazy medal is now working for me.

I got the 2500 kills today, but I did a lot of grinding by replaying levels I already beat, so if the kill count really is reset after you beat the last level maybe you should just play a level with many enemies over and over again (like the second to last level) until you get the medal.

I can't really confirm that. I just went through Destroy 5 with a quite decent time and not a single bullet hit me. Still I got silver. Argh. This is the only gold star I'm missing, it's driving me nuts.

Typical, I just made another run and got the gold star on Destroy 5. I got hit once or twice though, lost 7 HP in the process. It really seems to be that time is the most important matter here, shortly followed by killing as much enemies as possible. So yeah, as awful as it sounds, the rule is: Kill everything as fast as possible. I used the Homing Cluster, the Rocket Launcher and the Cooldown Device, by the way. And the fastest white legs, of course.

To get this I just muted the game, and would start level 5 and fly to the middle of the screen. Then I'd do something else for a while and 10 minutes later I'd just start level 5 over again. There's nothing special about level 5; I just chose a level where you have no chance of dying even without moving when fully upgraded. Didn't bother me that much since I only had to devote 10 seconds to it every 15 minutes or so.

Oh no, another game that has a 100 point medal where you have to rate user created levels. Seriously, rating 100 levels is not challenging, just boring. Don't make a medal for it.

Why don't you just try to enjoy playing through those 100 levels?

I guess because I'm OCD about medals. I remember how it was getting this "vote on a crapload of levels" medal on Time Fcuk... Sure, Time Fcuk is a marvellous game and I highly enjoyed playing it, but after playing the main game and 50 user generated levels it kinda lost appeal.

I know, I know, "then just don't get the medal and play something else". Ignore my rant.

In other news, is it just me or is EON really, really hard? I'm stuck on level 3. Maybe I'm not thinking with portals.

The 'LAZY' medal is still broken to me... It says in the game's description, that there are 3 auto fire turrets? I see only 2.. And.. I buy all of the guns and turrets, ALL of them and no medal.. wth?

Response to Newgrounds Medals - Games and Tips 2010-02-24 09:33:12


Nvm.. Got the 'LAZY' medal. Also how do you top the 'Junior medal' in all three parts, if you can't finish the game with 0 white things used?

By removing the white thing shortly before the level ends.

It's not that hard, though the physics isn't quite correct. Getting stuff under par gets abit annoying though. The whole idea of removing those wells just before level ends to go under par is plain silly.

Agreed on all points. I think I got the grasp of the game now, completed the first three levels under par. This game is fun, but I somehow doubt that getting all levels under par will be.

Also, did anyone except me get the joke of the under-par-medal-icons?

This "matter lost" category is pissing me off. I'm trying to get the first level under par, I know exactly where to click, but no matter what I do I always lose at least 6 matter, but rarely more than 10 even when I have oodles of it flowing off screen. Can someone help me out with this?

Also, of note is that medals don't pop up in-game, they only appear on your profile.

I'm not sure if I understand your problem...

Anyway, does anyone know if you have to get all three under-par requirements at the same time or can you use, for example, three tries at the level and beat with each try one of the three categories? So that you have all three in green in the "best" column at the end? Is this enough to get the under-par medals?

Also, crappy coding Mr. programmer guy, you can't see which levels you already beat on par and which not unless you beat the level again. Way to annoy me.

Okay now I'm getting the impression that the Amateur medal on EON is broken. I definitely have more than 5 levels where the "best" column is green in all three categories. Did anyone get that Amateur medal yet?

My only advice is get the medals fast before the user generated levels glitch again...

You can take the different categories one by one. So you don't need to get time, number of wells and mass leaked below par on one run. What counts is the best column.


I tried really hard to come up with something funny. I failed.

Response to Newgrounds Medals - Games and Tips 2010-02-24 13:06:55


This looks like a medal game I will never ever want to actually play. And I will probably neglect to get 70% of these medals, as they will probably take 15 hours.

Response to Newgrounds Medals - Games and Tips 2010-02-24 14:07:03


Just noticed you can make as many levels as you want, as opposed to time fcuk where you could only make 1. I guess we should start making 6-8 easy levels each and that 100 medal wont be so tough. Theres like 10-12 of us that frequent here right? haha

Response to Newgrounds Medals - Games and Tips 2010-02-24 14:33:27


It looks like both Amateur and Pro are glitched, as I have at least 20 of the 23 levels I've completed so far at all under par (on the same run, no less), and I think we can safely assume Champion is glitched too. Also this game has a fair sized memory leak, so make sure you play in short spurts. I finally got levels 1 and 2 under par, but I can't figure out how to get level 3 down to 2 wells. Can someone put a screenshot of which wells they left up?

You can rate the same level over and over. "W" has worked well for me.

Was just about to comment that I did my job making 6-8 levels and realized this on the last level. And i'll bet W has worked well for you haha :P

I wonder if rating your own level counts. Can somebody else submit a nice easy one so i can play it 90 times? haha
