It can do petter
Very nice game, I wasted more time on this than I probably should have.
Only real problem/annoyance is that you can't mass buy, so sometimes I end up buying bulls at a higher price than I want to, or I end up clicking over 100 times. So really, just add a MASS BUYING system and it'd be right as rain. Or left as rain. Or straight as rain. Etc. Etc.
At some point the game stops sending scores/unlocking medals, because it probably disconnects from NG. This needs to be fixed. Because of that the game gave me (after reloading) the medal for 10 million, but not the one for 5. It should be re-checking it if necessary.
PS
Ok, the saved game loaded, the score loaded, but the medal for 5 million did not.
I had to buy enough things to get below 5 million and pass that point again to finally get the medal.

Really, saving doesn’t work. I’ll try to understand how to save the game. I think, in another game, https://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/737249 works from me
I'll try to make normal save
Saving works perfectly fine by the way. That's not what the problem is.
Problem is the game suffers from medals timeout issues, although the obvious and easy workaround for the player is to save the game when close to an unlock, refresh the page, reload the game, then pass the amount necessary for the unlock.
This is what @HerbieG was trying to tell you.
A simple fix is to record in-game when a medal is earned as part of the save, and then at the start of the game, re-submit all medals, so when a player refreshes a page, reloads the game, any unawarded medals should then be awarded on-profile.
Because once a medals connection is out (either through timeout or Newgrounds went down or something) it's not coming back up and there's nothing you can do about that. And the only way a player can get it back is to refresh the page. So do what you can do as a game author (the simple fix suggestion).
I'm not a fan of the Newgrounds medals timeout design, but it is what it is. Unlikely to affect games which are super short. Likely to affect games which take 1 hour. If it takes longer than that it almost certainly will occur, and the players will need to use a workaround.
You also could occasionally poll to see if the medals connection is still up and, if not, then reconnect it and resubmit any medals that didn't go through. It's all there in the developer documentation.
