Santa Vs. Gravity is a simple game: collect presents, avoid coal, save Christmas.

Medals (2 for 20pts):
C-C-C-C-Combo Maker! (10) - Get a 40 combo (despite the picture saying 50)

Worthy Sacrifice (10) - Get 2000+ points

Gameplay
Move around with the arrows, and avoid the coal. It's not at all difficult to string together a combo of over 100, which will easily get you both medals. Medals are awarded after death.

Easiest. Walkthrough. Ever.

Chroma Keys is a colour game that involves pressing keys to lights as they scroll past.

Medals (5 for 190pts):
Breaking The Ice (10) - Score 5,000 points in one game.

Prochacho (25) - Score 10,000 points in one game.

Prodigy (50) - Score 20,000 points in one game.

Masochistic (100) - Score 30,000 points in one game.

Secret Medal (5) - It's secret!

Gameplay:
The game is basically broken into three segments:

1) Starting out. Hit the buttons when you're supposed to.

2) Middle game. Eventually, the colours will be moving too quickly for you to respond to all of them. At this point I generally pick 2 to focus on, and ignore the others.

3) End game. After 400 colours have gone by, the colours will come so quickly you can't possibly hope to keep up with them. Just lean on an arrow key and wait for time to run out.

It may help to play on a slower computer, but it really doesn't help that much, and either way you still basically just need to make it to 22k points alive and you should get them all.

Tankmen: Battle 2 is a very tedious game by the same person who gave you the original Tankmen: Battle. The premise is you enter some bases in Nevada, and kill things. Pretty simple.

Medals (22 for 500pts):
The Start Of Something (5) - Conquer the first base

Black Backpack (10) - Find the black backpack

Blue Backpack (10) - Find the blue backpack

White Backpack (10) - Find the white backpack

Green Backpack (10) - Find the green backpack

Kill The Clown (10) - Conquer the second base

Orange Backpack (10) - Find the orange backpack

Pink Backpack (10) - Find the pink backpack

Purple Backpack (10) - Find the purple backpack

Red Backpack (10) - Find the red backpack

Sky Blue Backpack (10) - Find the sky blue backpack

White Backpack (10) - Find the white backpack

Yellow Backpack (10) - Find the yellow backpack

Back To The Grave (25) - Conquer the fourth base

Demise Of The Savior (25) - Conquer the sixth base

Hints Of Evil (25) - Conquer the third base

Sending Him Back To Hell (25) - Conquer the fifth base

To Kill A Killing Machine (25) - Conquer the seventh base

Treasure Hunter (50) - Find all 11 backpacks

An Honor Serving (100) - Reach General rank (that means level 30)

Secret Medal (50) - Shhh... it's secret

Secret Medal (50) - Shhh... it's secret

Backpacks are all in lockers, so just scan each screen to see if there's one there. If there is, click on it. One of them's hidden behind the action buttons, so you'll have to click that one after deciding what to do. The rest of the medals are gotten just by playing the game.

Gameplay
Pay attention to the first page of instructions, and ignore the rest. Here's what you need to know:

When you kill things, you get experience, and with enough experience you level up, and with each level you get 1 point to spend. To get there, when in a fight, click on the face in the top-left corner of the screen. From top to bottom the places you can spend your points are attack, defense, skill. Always spend the point in attack, without exception.

Now, to weapons: All weapons do the same damage, with a base value of 3-6 + 1 per point in attack. You'll want your primary weapon to be a gun at all times. Either go with a gun and a blade, or the last or third-last gun. The reason is that with these two combinations, your attack will hit 3 times rather than once or twice. So if you're doing 8 damage, you actually hit them for 24. Other equipment is meaningless from a gameplay perspective, go with what you like the look of.

Now, to strategy. All fights shall go as follows: start by casting barrier - this is important. If you have fewer than 10 points in attack, your next two rounds should be the rocket. If your health is below 30, use a med kit. Otherwise, attack until the enemy is dead. Seriously, that's it; that's the whole game. The exception is when you get up around level 27 you no longer have to cast barrier unless you're going up against the Savior or Hank, because you'll kill them faster than they can kill you without the barrier (though you may need to throw in a med kit here and there).

You don't lose anything if you die, so just continue off from the last base you were able to conquer and grab a couple more levels before proceeding further. When it comes to reaching level 30 I like grinding in base 6, because at that point in the game you're guaranteed at least 1 level every time through the base, and it only takes about a minute, minute and a half to finish the base. If at level 30 you can't kill Hank with 1 med kit used, you've done something wrong.

And that's that. Questions?

Play Doodle Devil, the follow-up to Doodle God. Combine elements to make a total of 100 of them.

This guide is not as long as it looks. It's broken down into the following sections:

1) Medals list
2) Starting Elements
3) Full List of Elements, ordered by element group (in case you need to find one quickly)
4) Full List of Reactions, in the order in which I found them. If you do what I did, you'll get to the end eventually.
5) Full List of Reactions, sorted by element group (in case you want to figure out how to get the one you're missing). Duplications are included for the sake of completeness.
6) Fastest Route to Completion (75 reactions) (in case you just want to burn through it as fast as possible)
7) Reactions not included in the Flash version, but present in the Android version (you know, in case you're curious what you're missing)

What that means is there's a bunch of duplication, and that on purpose. The way you should use this guide is to find the part that matches your playstyle and goals (i.e. if you just want to know what's there and figure out how to get it on your own you'd go to the full list of elements and stop there) and refer to that part of the guide.

If you find a reaction not listed in this guide, let me know and I will add it.

Medals (5 for 195 points):
Half Game (10) - Half Of All Elements Discovered

Nuclear Bomb (10) - Nuclear Bomb Discovered

New LARRY game. They're always fun, and in this one all the medals work right out of the box!

Medals (7 for 75 points):

Barely Broken (5) - Smash through a brick wall and survive! Basically, hit it at full speed and you'll punch a hole in it rather than dying. You cannot get this medal while riding Doug

Crushing Victory (5) - Break 20 hurdles in a single run. Not a single game-load, a single game. As long as you always keep enough beer in you to have a reasonable speed, you can get this one pretty easily by chasing it.

Doug Mount (10) - Find and ride Doug, the town drunk! He appears randomly on the track, just run into him and your dog will turn into him and you'll run at full speed. Try to keep collecting beer! Also, obstacles don't hurt you when you're riding Doug, because he's far too drunk to feel pain.

Fresh and Fruity (10) - Eat a super rare Pineapple! And they are quite rare: I've played the game about 15 times and seen 3 of them total. I've ridden the wild Doug at least twice that frequently.

Hungry Muncher (10) - Eat 50 pieces of fruit in a single run. Pretty straightforward, this one.

Super Dog (10) - Ride Pup at full speed, uninterrupted for 10 seconds. They key is to keep collecting beer, as that will keep your speed up. Also you can get this medal while riding Doug.

Closest Shave Ever (25) - Jump over 5 spinning blades in a single Run. Yep.

Gameplay:
As straightforward as it gets, collect the good things and dodge or jump over the bad things. Easier on a slow computer, as you'll get more reaction time. At higher speeds you have less time to react to obstacles, so it may be worthwhile to keep your speed down once the spinning blades are more prominent. However, going fast and collecting beer while you do it is how you rack up points, so if you're playing because you enjoy it, faster is better.

Keep your eye out for the pineapple and for Doug, and chase specific medals on each run when you're after ones like Closest Shave Ever or Crushing Victory. Fruit always shows up in an order in which you can get them all, but it sometimes shows up inside bear traps, so your delicious nutrition will come at the expense of health. And finally, when jumping an obstacle, make sure that you press the spacebar before it actually reaches you, and try not to jump over beer.

Aside from that, just let her rip!

Pee Man - The Game

In memoriam Ben Spurgin, who gave us Pee Man.

Medals (7 for 290pts):
Phase I (5) - Complete the first phase.

Phase II (10) - Complete the second phase.

Phase III (25) - Complete the third phase.

Phase IV (50) - Complete the fourth phase.

Split Stream (50) - Fully load your bladder.

Perfect (100) - Win without taking any damage.

Secret Medal (50) - Shh... it's a secret!

Gameplay:
Move around with the arrow keys, gather lemonade from girls in windows to fill your bladder, unleash the fury with the A key. Pretty simple, really.

Phase 1: The giant turd. Tosses turdules at you and breathes diarrhea upon you in a stream. Stay high, and don't fire at him when he's doing his diarrhea breath at you because you may incidentally lower down into the stream, and that just doesn't help anybody. You can shoot the turdules, but you don't really gain anything for it other than preventing them from hitting you.

Phase 2: The giant robot. Fires missiles at you and breathes fire. Stay high and forward and he can't hit you, or else just pay attention and dodge the missiles, and move to the top when he breathes fire.

Phase 3: The fishbowl. Fires slow-moving blue ice at you from the front, then goes above the screen and drops turdules from above. Pretty simple, just dodge, charge your bladder, and try to fire at him when he's moving upward rather than downward. Also the highest hit points out of all the phases.

Phase 4: The escape. If you have enough pee stored up, you can stop the enemy from escaping. Basically, you have 10 seconds to try to kill him; you win either way.

And now, without further ado, here's a complete gameplay video of a perfect game getting all 7 medals:

Photogrounds is a simple typing game where you must press the right keys in the right order in order to take pictures of popular Newgrounds characters. It's in support of a book where people are really taking pictures of popular Newgrounds characters as portrayed in real life. Be sure to visit the Photobook website.

Gameplay:
There are 3 difficulty levels, which are made harder both by how many keys you must press in the same amount of time, and which keys may be required. There are 10 levels, and each one has different Newgrounds characters. The entire game takes less than 2 minutes to play. Here's the breakdown by difficulty and level:

Easy (3 letters, pinky and ring don't move):
Level 1 - Pico - 12 poses, 60 points
Level 2 - Strawberry Clock - 15 poses, 75 points
Level 3 - Blockhead - 18 poses, 90 points
Easy Total: 45 poses, 225 points

Moderate (4 letters, pinky and ring don't move down):
Level 4 - Salad Fingers - 28 poses, 280 points
Level 5 - Tankmen - 28 poses, 280 points
Level 6 - Alien Hominid - 32 poses, 352 points
Level 7 - Bitey - 32 poses, 352 points
Moderate Total: 120 poses, 1,264 points

Hard (5 letters, all keys):
Level 8 - Jerry Jackson - 45 poses, 990 points
Level 9 - Dad 'n' Me - 45 poses, 990 points
Level 10 - Tom Fulp - 50 poses, 1150 points
Hard Total: 140 poses, 3,130 points

Total: 305 poses, 4,619 points

Medals (9 for 75 points):
I Beat It On Easy! (5) - Complete Easy Mode with no errors. That's the first 3 levels.

I Beat It On Moderate! (10) - Complete Moderate Mode with no errors. That's levels 4-7.

I Beat It On Hard! (25) - Complete Hard Mode with no errors. That's levels 8-10. Note that you do not need to get all these medals in the same game; missing a letter on level 6 does not prevent you from getting I Beat It On Hard!

Secret Medal (5) - Shhh, it's a secret!

Secret Medal (5) - Shhh, it's a secret!

Secret Medal (5) - Shhh, it's a secret!

Secret Medal (5) - Shhh, it's a secret!

Secret Medal (5) - Shhh, it's a secret!

Secret Medal (10) - Shhh, it's a secret! (broken as of the time of writing this guide)

Here's the game. It's a classic style of game with a time twist and a difficulty ladder. Also, it doesn't ever take very long to play a game. Not bad.

Medals (4 for 180 points):
Column Remover (5) - Perform Column Remover for the first time

10 Creature (25) - Remove 10 or more creatures in a single click

10 Stage (50) - Reach stage 10

Who Can Do This? (100) - Reach stage 35, the developer cannot do this. Note that a 38 creature combo only gets you to wave 36, which means you need a combo of 37 or greater to get this, which is a mathematical rarity. I've done it twice, with weeks between the two games.

Scoring:
Taking out 2 creatures gets you 3 points, which is 2*2-1. Taking out 3 gets you 7, which is 2*2*2-1. Taking out 4 gets you 15, which is 2*2*2*2-1. In short, Taking out n creatures gets you (2^n) - 1 points. That means if you get 13 creatures with one shot you'll get 2^13 - 1 points, or 8191, which is enough to get to wave 10. And if you get 20 with one shot you'll get 2^20 - 1 points, which is 1,048,575 points. At the end of the game you also get 100x whatever wave you got to.

Gameplay:
The basic strategy is to wait for the first few rows and see what develops, and try to assemble a large group of similar creatures out of that. With a bit of luck, you'll get some massive grouping to remove. Note that this usually doesn't happen! If you notice a lot of the same creature showing up, try to keep as many of that type at the bottom of the screen as possible without breaking your grouping, to maximize the odds of your group getting bigger. When you reach a point where it's either too dangerous to keep waiting, or your grouping runs out, pull the trigger on it. Then, if you care what wave you're on, you just need to stay alive long enough to let your score carry up your wave number.

After you've taken out enough creatures (no idea what the number is) you gain the ability to remove a column by pressing the corresponding number. Despite how adamantly the game tries to convince you to do this, hold off until it's absolutely necessary, as removing a column also rearranges the columns as they collapse around the one you removed, changing your odds of getting another reasonably sized combo. In fact, whenever a column is removed from the board, the gameboard squeezes to the left to fill the gap, so keep this in mind at all times, especially when trying to build a bigger combo.

My personal best is 274 billion points on the strength of a 38 creature combo (2^32 - 1 = 274,877,906,943). This is that run:

And that's that. Oh, and there's a bug where you can sometimes remove multiple columns at once by pressing their numbers at the same time. But people who aren't dicks don't do that.

Cap Stack is an addictive game where you catch hats on your head. It's also incredibly fun, but I guess that goes with the territory.

Gameplay:
Blue hats are worth 10, all other hats are worth 20. Torches will burn away your hat stack, and ninja stars are electrocuted and will temporarily freeze you where you are if you hit them. Torches are safe for your body but dangerous for your hats, ninja stars are safe for your hats but dangerous for your body. Ninja stars aren't really that much of a hazard though, as the worst thing that happens is you miss a hat or two, as opposed to torches which take them all away.

Your score from accumulated hats will remain even if your stack gets burned away, but it's the size of your stack at the end of the round that determines your bonus. If you're playing for score, it's probably a good strategy to keep your stack near the top of the gold level until just before the end of the round (the music is your cue, or count the hats that fall), and then catch the last few hats to push you over at that point.

Medals (16, 340pts):
Not the Keys! (5) - Figure out the controls! Basically, try to use the keyboard, then switch to the mouse.

First Cap (5) - Wear your first cap. I seriously hope this one's self explanatory...

Cap-det (5) - Earn a Bronze Medal. The game is serious about this, you have to earn each medal separately. Bronze medals are worth an extra 500pts to your round score.

Cap-tain (5) - Earn a Silver Medal. Worth an extra 1000pts to your round score.

Cap-mmander (10) - Earn a Gold Medal. Worth an extra 2000pts to your round score.

Cap-mmodore (25) - Earn a Platinum Medal. Worth an extra 5000pts to your round score.

Perfectionist (25) - Catch all caps at any one level. Only really feasible on the first level, and not very difficult. However, this level will replace the Cap-mmander medal for that level rather than awarding both to you, so you will need to achieve Cap-mmander on a subsequent level.

Stack Burner (25) - Burn a stack of blue caps at Gold height. Must be blue caps, and must be at Gold height; Platinum height won't count.

Achiever (25) - Get at least 7 achievements. This medal is awarded when you view the achievements in-game.

Magician (25) - Finish a level with a black magician hat on top of the stack. Do this on level 3 with a short cap stack.

Cowboy (25) - Finish a level with a brown cowboy hat on top of the stack. Do this on level 5 with a short cap stack.

Quitter (5) - Even quitting a level earns you an achievement. Now try again harder! Basically, return to menu during a game.

First Hiscore (25) - Earn your very first highscore by beating the game.

Beating Your Own (25) - Now try to beat your own highscore. i.e. play and finish the game a second time.

Bragging Rights (5) - Send your score for the world to see.

Touch the Sky (100) - Are you hardcore enough? Build a stack of caps and touch the top of the screen! This medal is entirely based on luck, because when your stack of caps is that tall you don't have any time to react. That means you need the torches to fall away from you, and the hats to fall right on top of you. It's possible on any level from 3 onward.

When the medals are approved, this guide will be updated with their values.

By The Level:
Level 1 has 43 hats, 8 of which are green. There are no hazards.

Level 2 is fast-moving with 72 blue hats, and torches make their first appearance. They will be in every subsequent level.

Level 3 is slower-paced, with 68 hats, 6 of which are black top hats. The top hats only appear in this level. This is the first level in which a Platinum score is feasible, and the first level in which the Touch the Sky medal is possible.

Level 4 is quickly-paced again, with 99 blue hats. The electrified ninja stars are introduced in this level, and will be in the following level as well.

Level 5 is quickly-paced with 93 hats, 7 of which are brown cowboy hats and the rest are green hats. That means every hat in this level is worth 20 points.
