Stepford 5 Points

Play the game. This one's a freebie, just for naming conventions.

Helpford 5 Points

Visit the ? screen. Here's some extra help: Remaining descriptions will be hints to unlock that medal (or complete nonsense if you didn't read this first).

Draw the smallest gun.

They call me Hadouken because I'm down right fierce.

This tribute will put a smile on Betty's face (if she ever smiled).

5 with 5

Slaymord 5 Points

As I'm writing this, there are four days left in the game jam. Although that is probably enough time to do every six heart configuration, I'd rather give some actual hints instead of a load of Tetris +2s. Just do a rectangle for now and we'll see how it goes.

Steprobe 5 Points

Rotate the rectangle.

Stepfort Downey Jr. 5 Points

On second thought, just make it bigger. No, that's too big.

♪ (music note if that doesn't display for whatever reason)

Stepfohn Cena 5 Points

Flip it. (Ring bell goes ding so still works.)

Stepformageddon 5 Points

Looks like a worm. No, not just a regular one.

Stepfoh dear 5 Points

Or just flip the music note again.

Ring

Stedding 5 Points

Slap a rock on that ring.

Stepflation 5 Points

Flip it (guess it didn't work out).

Deaford 5 Points

Dig a grave.

Stabality 5 Points

Flip it. While disrespectful, it kind of makes sense if you think about it. Also looks like a wee man with a big head, again, fittingly enough.

Stepfowl 5 Points

Boil an egg.

Siford 5 Points

Reminds me of an AT-AT appropriately enough.

Elsa and now Spider-Man. We're on that part of the web again.

Stwiss Cheeseord 5 Points

There is one more way to kill a man, but it is as intricate and precise as a well-played game of chess.

5tepford Point Palm Exploding Heart Technique 5 Points

Hit five hearts without activating any of the previous moves.

Steiko from Mortal Kombat Fourd 5 Points

Hit four hearts without activating any of the previous moves. Great one to end on. You can see where I was going with this but medals have now maxed out so that's all, folks.

Author Comments

Created within two weeks (also, my back's fecked while we're making excuses) for The Mobile Game Jam 2022. The theme was "lots of them" so I started adding medals until either time was up or I couldn't be arsed anymore (actually ended up reaching the limit of how many you're allowed).


Break hearts on the grid to help @Stepford practice their kickass combat moves. Click the bottom right to execute.


Included a fullscreen button which, after using flash for over a decade, I'm astounded actually works. Icon shits itself sometimes but whatever, might be useful if you are indeed playing on mobile, is my point.


There's also a help screen that just says what I'm saying here but with less room. See medal descriptions for additional hints.


This all made more sense with the whole "motion control" thing but couldn't get it to work on mobile (which is kind of the whole point). Title is genius though, as I'm sure we all agree, so won't be changing that.


And, to contradict what I just said and go against the spirit of the jam completely, if you're in a position to use the Newgrounds player, I suggest you do so because certain affects don't show up properly with Ruffle. Screw mobiles.


P.S. The medals DO work, I just put the popup off screen so it wouldn't bother you... unless they don't work.

Damn, Stepford's got quite the repertoire at their disposal. Think I also saw an EBF reference in there.

(The metric crapload of medals is one hell of a bonus as well.)

Stepping Step Stepped

back again with an attempt at a medal guide:

premise: 12 hearts, aptly numbered from left to right, top to bottom.
first row is 1 through 4 etc.

the game is less about specific hearts and more about the overall configuration (shape).
numbers will be used as an example of a configuration with the correct shape.
if multiple configurations are active at the same time, the "bigger" one will trigger.

sorted by medal order:
--

Stepoke: pick one heart, then execute (any of them works)
