When I open this in NG Player it appears to load the correct game. What game do you see on your end?

It launches "Nine Deaths Cat" as seen in the title screen, which is another game from the same author.

Actually it does not. The game's name should be Rats in a Hole, while the one that loads is Nine Deaths Cat.

I already PMed the author, waiting for response. I tried it even on Flash Player for the same result.

I'll try tagging @Muja here.

Medals in this game are broken and the author, instead of fixing them, repeats "reload the page" like a NPC to everyone that points it out.

Are you playing in Firefox? Firefox is having some issues with Ruffle so it might be that.

Not the issue. I always check such things on Ruffle, NG Player and even good old Flash Player and none of them work in this case. PMed the author, obliging to fix the medals.

What did you use? Ruffle, NG Player or original Flash Player?
Ruffle in Chrome
Try installing NG Player and running the game with it. I just tried it with a test account and these medals do work this way - check the strawberry medal for example. For some reason at some point Little-Rena's games just refused to unlock medals on Ruffle.


Alright, so I was able to run it through NG Player (on Windows, not through Wine or a VM) and the medals still didn't work. Can you provide any more details about your setup?

Hmm... I just tried it again, this time with Chrome & NG Player and it worked fine (apple medal). So I tried it on both Firefox and Chrome. I'm on Win 8.1. I wonder if it makes a difference: I still got an original - and functional Flash Player installed on my computer - I know that there was a Win 10 update that deleted it.


Anyway it is getting too problematic, so I'll tag @Little-Rena here with a question: can you deal with this issue?

I can't find the .fla file for it, so I have disabled the "works with Ruffle".


I know what the issue is, there is something in the AS2 API that I left on, which Ruffle doesn't like, I'll make an effort to go through all my .fla files one day to make sure I have fixed them, but this one, not sure I can, sorry. Gotta use NG Player.

All of these medals are broken (seems like they never worked from the beginning)

As far as I remember I had a talk with NoCares about implementing these medals, I guess that despite some declarations that never happened. Taken care of (removed).

Right, I forgot to deal with the latter. Un-tested medals. from the very beginning.

As for the first one: I wonder how did the author actually manage to test them?

The medals in this game are unobtainable. For some reason the game doesn't properly register the player's score, so most players who have ever played the game have not gotten anymore than 4 points.


Also the medal named "10 Punches" really doesn't work at all, there are 3 people on the leaderboard who somehow managed to get more than 10 points including the developer himself, but they haven't gotten the medal. The developer acknowledged the problem in the review section:

>medals dont work and game is bad

>>idk what happened to the medals, it won't even show the points sometimes and I don't think it's a problem with the game (might be but it seems to be a ng problem) so yeah srry

Ball Miner


Both medals in this game are broken. One medal is supposed to award for upgrading your pickaxe and the other for upgrading your ore, but no matter how many times you upgrade both, no medals award.


And no one has obtained either medal.


And the game isn't new, so the author should have had ample time to fix if he was going to.

Bass Master Online


All medals would be broken because the game is now broken.


I think it needs to connect to a remote server, and that server is no longer in operation. All you get is an option to join the server, and then it just kicks you right back to the option to join the server because obviously it fails.


Probably would be best to just unpublish this game.

Taken care of.

It's been really a plague lately. At least this author did not think that manual unlocking does the job.

In Escaping the Complex, clicking a music link in the credits sequence of any ending is supposed to earn you the medal "Patron of Tunes".


Whilst doing this did earn me the medal in-game, Newgrounds failed to recognise its been earned, as this screenshot demonstrates:

Given I earned the medal in Ruffle, its likely the cause is due to something within Ruffle.
