Here I list medals I cannot unlock for some reason.

You can do a word search on the page to find certain games/medals since this list has become quite large. I wondered if I should keep this list private but I figured it could benefit to look at for others.

If you have a medal in mind you can notify me but having it on this list is not guaranteed mostly because all of a sudden I may not have access to internet for some days/years.

Medal games that open another tab instead of launches

Some games are supposed to launch in a separate tab. Earlier you could play the games but not earn medals from them, but now they would not even start. These medals would work if Newgrounds change this in the future. There are some cases where games also work on mobile devices and get the medals in that way.

Medals that don't award when reaching the requirement and that no one has earned for some time

A Fitting Title For A Game About An Astral Child, A creature In A Pot And A Weird Hole Somewhere Near Bali (True Progress and True Accomplishment. Tested several times in all ways I could. Once I got permanently flickering lines on my monitor while playing this that still stay. The game might be cursed.)

Cafe "Sliding Plates" (Piece de Resistance)

Dagger is Wet (All)

Deserted: Island Mystery (Escape!)

Dolum (Felix The Bird)

DOTMAN (All but the first.)

Drillionaire (Mixed material, Reduse, Reuse and Recycle.)

Edward The Rude (SuperUltraHyperRude. I suspect API time-out. Would probably work otherwise.)

Electric Rubber (Overnight Success. Really hard to decide to put it here or where the requirement is not met.)

Fall Beans Party Race Beta (First Crown)

Fish Simulator X (Distracted Fish)

Flap Starship (All)

Fridge Runner (The medal for playing 100 times.)

Gelli Got Jumps (All. Hard to judge on wether the requirements are met or not since the game crashes after the first boss, but the game cannot connect to your profile anyway.)

Get Ashley! (I hit her face but the game did not count it as a hit.)

Intense Room Escape (Escape!)

I Puzzle Good (Puzzle Good)

Isokan (All)

Kingslayer (Kingslayer)

Knotty story (Black feather)

Kristov Colin (Tap the stooge!)

Lizard Boy Music 4 (All)

Master the Guitar (Fretboard Expert)

Newgrounds Sim 2017 (beta V0.1.9) (All)

PACO-PACO (Cake is a Lie. This may not be borked. Just hard to reach. I put it here because it is unknown how to get it. It is not for jumping over the portal five times in the same run.)

Parthelo (The game only loads in Ruffle but the medals and scores do not send.)

Paw Pals (All)

Phantom Reverse #1 (Phantom)

Phantom Reverse #2 (Adrift)

Phantom Reverse #3 (The Locket)

Phantom Reverse #4 (Crystal Clocks)

Phantom Reverse #5 (Rituals)

Phantom Reverse #6 (Reverse)

pixel invaders (100000 pts easy. Highscores over 100000 could still be submitted.)

Poppy Skully (All stars related but the first two.)

Pothead Zombies (Hell Yeah)

Proxima (honor)

Steel Abyss (Ocean Conqueror, for defeating Squid Commander. Points and description mixed with Master of the Abyss, which works and is for surviving the abyss before the depths. The crab medals did not award for me.)

Super Pong Bros 65 (All)

Surf : : Aces (All A-grades in 20 surfaces.)

TDR RPG: The Quest for Xirang (Swinging at Nothingness)

tempO (50k Score and Marble Madness. Have not reached 100k Score and Marble Insanity.)

The Impossible Pixel Challenge (pixelchaser, pixelscientist and Deus ex.)

The Impossible Room (The medals stop sending after a while. At least for me.)

Tower of Towers (F*ckin' invincible. I used a cheat shown on the speedrun web page that skips the last dungeon. It could be so the medal works if you actually do it legitimately! Someone might need to test this who really likes this game.)

Trenchcoat's Adventure (All)

Trivial Trivia: The Newgrounds Collection (All NG Events and Jams medals. Scores cannot submit.)

Walk box 3 (Completed. Highscores submit and medal awards in-game.)

Medals which requirement cannot be reached and that no one has earned for some time (includes games that cannot load)

Ballad of the Cube (No way to interact with the character.)

Blended Together (Jumps do not work.)

Blizzard Benevolence (Cannot load)

Countdown Letters (C-H-A-L-L-E-N-G-E and O-C-T-O-C-H-A-M-P. The game does not award extra points for extra words, making the challenges impossible to complete and capping the highest possible score below the threeshold for the secret medal. You can still get 100 points if you find at least one 9 letter word in a normal round.)

Crazy Alien Snake (25 tanks. I tested this alot a while ago but I cannot remember exactly. I am pretty sure you cannot destroy 25 tanks because when you have taken enough power-ups there won't be any tanks around anymore.)

Dandy Cave Explorer (Treasure Hunter and Maniac Run. A special case. It falls to the first category since it runs in a separate tab, but you can play the game on mobile. It is just that the game freezes when you are awarded the first medal and you cannot progress further than that.)

GravityAbility (Cannot load)

G-Switch 3 (Cannot load)

i saw her too, with laser (All but the first.)

Magic Figures (Cannot play)

Minigod (100 and 1000 humans medals. We lack a strategy for these medals. If someone earns them they should be taken away from this list. I only list them here because the author has no idea if they are possible to reach.)

Monster Frontier (Rocky boss is too strong.)

Nerd's Journey (Unlock vampire. Two random monsters should always be unlocked from the beginning, but at some point the game seems to have started to always have the vampire as one of them, which makes it impossible to unlock it later on.)

Ordeals of December (Cannot load)

Phase Shift: Lab Escape (The medals for completing three respective five loops in endless mode. This is just very hard so if you play well enough it might be possible. It takes some time so API disconnection could be another issue, but we get there if someone manages to do it.)

Pokikex (100. Getting this far should not be possible.)

Railroad Shunting 2 (There is no interface after the main menu.)

Rainbow Cube (The game freezes when reaching a medal requirement.)

Rescue Eve (At best you can get to a purple screen with links to other sites after the game has loaded.)

Revenge of dog (Cannot load)

Run Pinky Run (The game freezes when you start the first level.)

Santa in Trouble (Cannot load)

Santa's Penguins (Cannot load)

Save The World (Seems to have broke in an update.)

SHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO (Maxed Out. Something has happened with the game that makes it run slower. The last medal won't award. Probably by API disconnection.)

Shop Empire 3 (All but contractor and nice team. Something has happened that prevents you from getting any income. It seems like some users have found a way around this though.)

SingScar 1 (SingScar Creator)

Space Conquerors (Cannot load)

Space tycoon (Cannot load)

Stars (Cannot load)

Stonks (Crypto winner. Crypto market does not update.)

Terrific Halloween (Cannot load)

Trap: Volume One (Seems like the game cannot load, but it just takes ages. You can start the game but nothing happens.)

Trivial Trivia: Impossible (100%. A bug in the game jumps two questions in a row and counts one as incorrect.)

Urban Wars (Cannot load)

Word Search 2015 (The puzzles cannot load.)

Medals that others have earned recently but do not work for me

These are not really borked but probably require some specific OS/browser or are wrongly described so the requirement is something else.

AstroJump (Deep Space. Tecnically working but it is too hard for me.)

Bounce Back (Boomerang Master, Speedy and Super Speedy. The game crashes when I play a level at times and I have to refresh. I can continue on the current level but not on speedrun mode and for some reason I lose my boomerangs. I have also been unable to get my boomerang counter above three. I probably just need another browser.)

Box Stack (All but the first and last, because I have not reached 500 points. It seems like many have problems with the medals for this game.)

Christmas ADVENTure 2018 (The game cannot load. I think it is for super fast gaming computers exclusively.)

Clicker (Take the 100. I even get the pop-up.)

Final Commando (Boss Master and Medal Medal. I have defeated the boss multiple times but it won't award me the medal even in-game.)

Half Dead (All medals are technically working I guess but the game has stopped to save for me. I can still load saves. The game is too long to play in one session.)

Intruder CT 2X (perfectionist. This medal works. I can just not get it because there is no way to reset your save.)

ITAZURA MADNESS (Medals stopped to send for me although they work in-game. I could try to reset progress but have not felt like starting over.)

JustAnotherSnakeClone (The screen shaker medals. It is hard to judge on them. If you get so long that you shove in power-ups into your mouth the game crashes. I have not been able to get the medals by staying short and maxing speed.)

Lollipoop (Adventurer. I think I have tested everything. There is probably a browser you need to use.)

Merry Christmas Tom Fulp (Gift Giver Pro. The game crashes in Opera but works in Edge and on Phone. On phone I got API disconnected too soon but on Edge the highscore did pass 10000.)

Miss Fortune (Super Woman Defeater Super Sayian)

Pico's Nightmare (Winning without deaths. I did it multiple times.)

PinPunisher (Medals seem to unlock for some and not for others. I earned a few medals many years ago so I cannot tell if they would work for me now.)

Puzzling Rush (Cannot load)

Rainbow Crash (All but Paratrooper and Player. The game crashes after the tutorial.)

Red Storm 2: Survival (Explorer. The Survivor and Untouchable are problematic too. I simply think you need to reset your save when you die or they unearn when you do not pass the criteria any longer.)

SCGMD4 (A bug stopped awarding the chievos in-game. I tried with ANALYSIS PARALYSIS and PREMATURE ARTICULATION in a new save on my new computer but it was the same. Even if it would work I would only be able to get LET THE RIVERS RUN RED! ANALYSIS PARALYSIS and PREMATURE ARTICULATION and LET THE RIVERS RUN RED! takes too long for me to try again with. The other medals require you to play before 6 in the morning and I get my internet at 6, or basically perfecting the hardest song which is too hard for me. Yes I overkilled every boss on pro for nothing.)

SEE WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU CRUSH YUNO - CRUSH YUNO THE GAME (The medals that take some time.)

Sky Kitty (Seems like both medals and highscores are problematic and only submit sometimes.)

Stardander Revenant (The game worked fine some years ago but now I cannot start the story. Nothing works to do.)

Tankmas ADVENTure 2024 (Not really borked, but is made for machines much more powerful than anything I have. I could load and play it until late December when there simply was too much content put in.)

Testafan (Deadpool and Scorpion. The highscores and medals for the secret mini stopped to work for me all of a sudden. Since it stopped to work so suddenly I assume it works for others.)

Void Miner (Cannot connect to the API any longer.)

World Revolution RPG (All)

Other problematic medals

These are medals I know how to get but the requirements are different from what is told or you need a specific browser or such. This is the section I know potentially could be the largest, but I know I cannot find all games I have played and forgotten that could fit here.

Abducted by Aliens 2 (You have to click on new instead of play at the beginning for Sleep!)

Abducted by Aliens 3 (You have to click on new instead of play at the beginning for Escape!)

Antipade [FULL DEMO] (Does not work in Opera.)

Arium (Does not work in Newgrounds Player.)

Awesome Ranger (RANGER and SUPERHERO cannot be earned together.)

Bird On Bird (May not work in Newgrounds Player.)

Boom Blast (AD??? It is not for the ad that pops up occasionally. You need to press shift+z.)

Bullet Bill 3 (Problematic in Ruffle. Use Newgrounds Player.)

Cat Astro Phi (Faster than a UD4L Cheyenne. You can start the game and go directly to the third planet on a completed save. If you defeat the boss within 20 minutes you get the medal.)

Catch 51 (Medals worked for me in Pale Moon with the Flash Player.)

Concerned Joe (Does not work properly in Newgrounds Player.)

Draw-Play 3 (Does not work properly in Newgrounds Player.)

Falling Platformers (Boss. Click on your character while you play. Falling 5000 meters earns you nothing.)

Fall Ninja (Triple the Power! Sometimes this does not trigger. If it only is awarded in-game you need to start on a new savefile. Remember that Ruffle and Flash do not use the same save.)

*Flight* (Very problematic game. Sometimes the medals work in-game but not on the site, sometimes not even in-game. I think it has to do with wether you choose to continue or click on new game the first time you play, or which save slot you choose. It worked for me when I picked new game on slot 1 while slot 2 had a save.)

Fury of Frostbite (The medals do not always send. Most notably the points and the story medals. Sometimes the medals send minutes after while you do something else and having the game unfocused. It could be a good idea to be patient.)

Hidden Valley Ninja (Weapon Master. You cannot craft Shadow's Edge as the last weapon. It must be a collectible.)

HOLD (Similar issue as Ultimate Walnut Tapper. Since an update to Newgrounds has blocked the game frame in Firefox 50.0 which I used I could not test it the same way. HOLD does not send medals in the up to date version of Firefox. It works in Palemoon though. I tested with the original Flash Player but Ruffle or Newgrounds Player should work as well. The medals pop up in-game but only award when you start the game the next time.)

Hunt of HORROR (The find all in 200 seconds medal seems to be swapped with the medal for beating the game at all. The game cannot save in Newgrounds Player too.)

I wanna be the flash game (Time waster and Why are you still playing? They award for playing for two and three hours instead of one and two.)

Jet Pack Jesus (You can play on phone, but you need a keyboard to it in order to get all medals.)

Just Rotate (Turning Heads! Cannot submit scores in Newgrounds Player.)

Leap Jet Bear (The game crashes occasionally and sometimes generate levels differently, which could be in a way they are not possible to play. It also has a saving issue. If it crashes consistently on the same level it could be a good idea to try the game in a different browser. Firefox with Ruffle worked for me.)

MechaRay (You can play on phone.)

Mechsican Standoff (Meet your Maker. Another problematic medal. *SPOILER****SPOILER* You are supposed to be able to fight the developers if you click on credits and then on the mellow minds logo. Sometimes the battle won't start.)

Monster Mashing Deluxe (Cannot load in Opera browser.)

OverWired (Cannot load in Opera browser.)

Perilous Journey (Medals and highscores often do not send.)

Qoosh (Can only load in Opera browser. It actually works to launch in Newgrounds Player if it is launched from that browser.)

Runnin' Dude (You have to die at least once for You beated the game! or you will get Didn't die.)

Rush: Remastered Edition (Red Death. You need to play the old flash version which you can do by typing /format/flash at the end of the url.)

Sonic Adventure X Ep.2 (The Leonardo fight is sadly unplayable. You have to cheat. I don't think this cheat should be accepted but in this case it is nessessary. Play in Newgrounds Player and open settings for flash player. Secondary click on a drop-down menu and click on forward a bunch of times. Yes you can cheat the scores in the whole game which I did.)

Space Pizza Defense (The medals for playing 5 and 10 times. For me they worked in Ruffle but not in Newgrounds Player.)

The Epic Hard Maze (The switches medals seem to only unlock if you press the first switch over and over again.)

TOM FULP CLICKER (You need to have the exact requirement and not just pass it. Also sometimes the medals do not send anyway.)

The Curvature Project: Expanded Show (True Deity Spell Caster. It is for beating the game on hard but it does not always trigger. You can exploit the game by spamming the next wave button in the shop to rush the waves.)

Ultimate Walnut Tapper (The medal pop-ups work, but not the medals. If you want the medals, you probably need to play it in the Firefox browser and refresh the game when you have reached all requirements. The game starts over, but somehow the medals insta-earn so there must be a save for them that the game finds.)

Unbelieveble Sniper (Only awards medals in Newgrounds Player.)

Wait For 3 Hours: The Simulation (1 Hour and 2 Hours. They only work in Firefox it seems.)

Zombokill 2 (The game can only load in Ruffle, and you probably need to click on play a lot of times for it to start. You need a fast computer.)

Medal games that require scripts elsewhere via a connection that is not encrypted

Some games use scripts from other sites to function. If it is a site that uses http you need to have unsecure content allowed since the connection would be blocked by your browser otherwise. As far as I know there are not any commonly used browsers that allow it. Since I use an older version of Firefox I am still able to get these medals.

Other notes

API disconnecting: After a while you cannot earn medals/submit highscores on Newgrounds. It is usually after around 90 minutes but it varies between games and how fast they run on your computer. Unity games are usually short lived and disconnects after ~20 minutes while flash games almost always work for hours and should not disconnect until six hours or so.

Gamezhero games and similar with that preloader cannot load in Newgrounds Player.

Newgrounds Player has a save issue: For some games it can load saves but not save.

It is possible to use old flash in the browser on Newgrounds. You need the flash player and a browser that supports it. You can enable original flash for games in Newgrounds settings by disabling both Ruffle and Newgrounds Player.

Make sure you are using the device the game was made for. For example, not all mobile games are obvious about being made for mobile devices.

Some tricks or cheats/ways around mentioned for specific games could be tested for other games, such as enabling blocked content in the browser or using hidden forward and backward buttons in the flash settings.

Medals from games by SkilledFanBoy tend to only work on mobile devices.

There are medals for Flash games that require certain options in the secondary-click menu. Those may not be possible to reach in Ruffle.
