Yeah, I get stopped at the end of level 1. It freezes. :\

Actually if you wait for a while the game unfreezes, so it is functional, but the medals are not being unlocked.
On the author's website there is a list of his games and a note: "feel free to contact me" but of course he didn't bother to include ANY form of contact...

Didn't we discuss about this game like a year ago? It magically worked for me and I managed to get the medals for the 2 last worlds around September last year, even though I had always suffered the freezing problem like everyone else. Of course it wasn't just an http problem, there's something more. Maybe @NeonSpider is right and it works only the first days of the month? I don't actually remember the exact day that I played it till the end without issues. I do remember playing it TWICE without any freezing issue, until the third time the freezing returned and I was never again able to play it.

Edit: I just checked the medals and I see that I unlocked them both on September 17 (2017), so it's unlikely that the issue is what Neonspider says about the first days of the month.

I also remember, and this might be important, that when I didn't experience any freezing, when I returned to the menu I had lost ALL the progress and had to start from the first level again. Really weird, cause when I tried it (y'all can try it now) and experienced the freezing (and unfroze the game by switching tabs) it saved my progress even after refreshing the page. Really, really weird.

This one's all the way back from 2013. It's an online multiplayer game. You get "ERROR WHILE LOADING PLAYER DATA."

There's a very slight chance setting this to HTTP may work, but more likely the server for the game isn't even up anymore and so it's dead. Someone can try setting it to HTTP to see if that works though.

Changing to HTTP but you're probably right about it depending on a server.

I remember reporting this game few years ago, but I received an explanation. The medals work in it, but not "directly". From the very beginning to the end you need to play all levels not from "start"/"next level", but from the "level select" screen.

at the moment, so if you want to take a stab at it now would be a good time.

Something something ... Nutcasenightmare medals API game ... something something ... runs out the bandwidth before month end but playable fresh again start of every new month .... something something wink wink

But even while playable early month good luck getting the last few medals as only @Optimos has been able to pull it off as the usual behavior is the game freezes precisely when you beat the last level of one of those worlds, rather than advancing onward. And even @Optimos was only able to get it to work one time but he did get it to work one time. You can ask him.

Likely you'll need to play the game early month *and* get whatever kinds of lucky the game actually passes you on past a certain point rather than freezing. And yes a freezing unrelated to the use of nutcasenightmare medals API.

The game still has freezing issues. That has not been fixed.

This game can feel all luck based and less skill based. Having to reset the game to avoid freezing can reset your forward progress. Ugh

About the Build the Snowman game: it rather has nothing to do with any forms of API and the date you are playing it. Like DoctorStrongbad wrote the game became unplayable again, I checked it soon after his post appeared-and it was freezing, while when I played it just few seconds ago (finishing 1st and 10th levels) it again worked perfectly and the medals showed up.

Yes well, suffice to say I wrote my review of that game before I had gotten far enough to realize it had these kinds of issues, because you can actually get the first two medals and right up to what should be the third precisely before the freezing hits near-always.

That said, it also is nutcase-nightmare API which means in addition, later in the month, even the first two are gonna freeze you.

Yes, it is not only unreliable, but also annoying. It feels like a craps shoot if you will get the medals that you earn. Also the lack of a save feature, just adds to the frustration.

Before the game stopped loading there was an issue with the medals.

It doesn't look like DroneLocker has been active for over a year. Hopefully it just needs the HTTP treatment.

Same with this one. HTTP treatment would hopefully fix it.
