So that's the article that explains it all. Alright, thank you, it's what I wished to know but couldn't find, despite searching and looking some Fandom pages too.


The creator of the Riddle School series is JonBro. Is there anything going on with JonBro? I'm not understanding any of this stuff that user TheCompleteSmester put forward.

I don't know how it works, someone doing this, but you can't put a spoiler, with the ending of the story GIVEN AWAY, right there as the thumbnail! The author did not originally mean to spoil the ending of the game in the thumbnail. You're not the author of the game, you don't decide what goes on the thumbnail.

The name seems a tad silly to me (and some three people already brought up some "Shadow Wizard" because of it, something that I'm not sure what Newgrounds has to do with or what it is). Thinking about it, Fund Tank, Capital Tank or Backer Banker is what hits me.

Response to: Newgrounds Medals - Games and Tips Posted November 1st, 2021 in Where is / How to / Help!

Sorry for sort of double posting. I'm looking for a medal game that I can no longer find. See here. I'm sure that the top medal hunters played and know this game perfectly. Was it really deleted? Thanks for any insight.


I'm looking for a game that I can't find anymore. It was probably deleted. It was likely a Unity game, only working around the time that it was made. It was a Flappy Bird copy, pale green colored, with basic flat square graphics, a hard difficulty and Newgrounds medals. It was played by jumping consecutive pillars successfully. It was satiric by being purposely low quality and spam like. It had unlockable mostly animal characters in the form of white squares, with satiric jump sounds, which made up the medals. It played a catchy retro loop song. It was titled as something in the likes of "Squared."

Yeaah I've been pleasantly surprised by that too. Hoping I'm not missing out on some of those points these days, been a while since you could be these generous with the blams and really get points for it all.

According to NG Logs, I earned an approximate average of 25 blams per day in March and 41 in April. However unbelievable it may be, the numbers show an actual gain of 41 blams per day. One year ago in May, my average of blams per day was of little under 11 (I didn't change my ways). It's likely that there are correspondingly a lot more saves going on as well, which just means a lot more submissions.

Thanks for the update. Unfortunately, today I dropped from experience rank #240 to #532, from one moment to another. Do you know anything about this? Will it return to normal tomorrow? I had been in the 200s for a long time. It coincided with the end of the double experience run. The system must be glitched. (Also, not April's fools.)

Their entire account is games that other people made, and seems they don't respond to anyone calling them out on their behavior.

It's basically a sponsor. If you notice, their name comes up on the games that they submit. If being a sponsor isn't allowed, then a huge chunk of Newgrounds would have to go, as hundreds and hundreds of submissions are posted by the sponsor accounts. I could go on and on showing you lots of accounts with big hits that you would be deleting. What happened was that they submitted one game that was already uploaded. Pretty much like PastelGames uploading something Mateusz-Skutnik already had.

It took all this long, but I tried it out again to confirm it. Since I abstain from saves, I can easily tell if I get a save point. I voted 0 by mistake (with a thumbnail like that...) and then changed it to a positive rating. No protection save point was awarded one day later when the submission passed judgement. The other way around (saving and changing to blamming) I never tried.


This Sunday was the third one with a lot of blams, setting up a potential new pattern, where Fridays and Saturdays have little blams, but Sundays have the most of all days.

Response to: Top 10,000+ Exp / B-P / Post List Posted May 25th, 2020 in Where is / How to / Help!

Because of the potential interest, here's some information on blams presently, as this way it gets noted down here how they were going at this point in time. Although the obituaries are very important, they don't work well for these stats: each of the many days to be checked has to be manually added up and a lot of work is needed to exclude from the count all of the submissions that moderators send to the obituaries everyday already past judgement and submitted at any point in time, as those don't award blam points.

Thanks to NG Logs, I was able to check how many blams I earned in the last 30 days: 324 blams at an average of 10.8 per day (definitely with some margin of error for the precise end and start points). My gain in blams that the next hexalist update #61 will show will be almost the same thing as this, but, this way, I can post these stats some 25 days sooner. I normally miss a couple of blams everyday, as they happen overnight. To know how many, I checked out the unvisited links on the obituaries, excluding the submissions that moderators blammed. Unnecessarily, here's the amount of blams that I missed each day: 2, 6, 0, 1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 0, 8, 2, 0, 2, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 0, 2, 2, 1, 1, 1, 1, 2, 4, 5, 4, 6. Basically, totaling 63, it's consistently 0, 1 or 2 misses. In the oldest days, there are a few higher figures because I wasn't yet fully dedicated and there's a day with 3 that should have likely been 1, as I wasn't able to patrol for some time. Besides that, there's only a 6 and an 8 on the last two weekends, which is curious. By accounting for these missed blams, the actual numbers for this last month are: 387 blams at an average of 12.9 per day (with some margin of error for the precise end and start points).

Overall, Fridays and Saturdays seem to have few blams. I don't think that blams need to be attended too quickly, except verges of death when waking up. If moderators unpublish or remove under judgement submissions instead of blamming them there are less points around, and it could have to do with the moderator's preference. Subscribe to the Elite Guard Barracks topic for submission reports, although it seems that none are getting blammed. If you change the vote on a submission (which is a modern possibility), it seems that it's not accounted for.

I'm next with the same thing. It should take 3 months to show up on the list. I think the rate is around 10 blams a day (I only started getting blams seriously around the beginning of the month, so comparing the increase to the previous update is no good).

On the list's own page, the user Simon is wrongly linked to http://hexalist.ngpot.com/speed%20up%20firefox instead of their profile.

Response to: How can a flash game just be gone? Posted September 22nd, 2018 in Where is / How to / Help!

At 9/21/18 09:07 PM, JimBrown257 wrote: There is this game I played several years ago called Spectral Wizard. It is just your standard free platform game. It was a Miniclip game but it was on many other sites. I was recently thinking about it and I really wanted to play it again. I looked it up but every game site that had it, no longer has it. So I have two questions about this:

1) How can it just be gone? Was the game not saved on the actual game sites, like they just linked to it, so wherever it was stored doesn't have it, the sites don't have it? And forgive my ignorance of how these things work, like if that is a dumb question.

2) Is there anywhere I can play it? If I pay someone will they let me play it?

I don't have any problem playing it. I searched for it, as I don't know this game, and this seems to be its official site:
http://hammock.se/
From there, to play the game, the site links here:
http://www.gamesprocket.com/games/TrollKarl.php
It's a Shockwave game, you should know those things. To play a Shockwave game, you need to be using a browser that supports Shockwave and you need to have Shockwave installed. Internet Explorer 11 seems to be the last and most current browser that supports Shockwave, so you should use it for this. It comes secretly with Windows 7, I think, so you may not even know that you have it installed. I think that it's under Accessories.

This one was easy to solve...

Response to: Collapse video window option gone Posted February 25th, 2018 in Where is / How to / Help!

And the lights button? How are we supposed to enjoy anything without dimming all the other stuff around? And the new dotted focus outline around Flash submissions? And why if I click the Collapse button my position in the page gets changed to an unwanted one? The point of using Collapse is to lessen the (performance) weight of a heavy submission while keeping the tab open until you check it out. An open tab is basically like a quick bookmark until you soon come check out the submission. Another use for collapsing is to read and write reviews, in which case both times the collapse button is clicked moving the page up is only harmful. When will it all be back to unbroken? All changes are to break and remove features. Just read this forum instead of the frontpage. Loads of topics complaining.

I can't imagine Newgrounds without the option to dim the lights.

This new game:

Is too awkwardly similar to this one:

They work in the same way. The characters are strangely similar. The design of some levels is matching. And then, both games introduce the same new opponent on level 4. And the similarities will probably continue if we continue playing.
But the detective work of where this whole deal came from I don't know this time.

I don't know about duplicating it here, since there are two ways to report. Anyway, I reported Bob the Robber 4 with the following description:
The original author is Flazm. https://flazm.newgrounds.com/games/ Flazm made and submitted the original Bob the Robber and Bob the Robber 2 to Newgrounds and Kongregate. They are a studio: http://flazm.com Their studio then moved from Russia to Lithuania. The new studio made Bob the Robber 3 and 4 but didn't submit it to these websites. (Maybe they don't have the account passwords or just don't care.) This new uploader account OrangeGamesNL is submitting Bob the Robber 4 here on Newgrounds right now. OrangeGamesNL doesn't have information online about itself. It seems like JUST a Newgrounds account, nothing more. Since they don't appear to even be proper sponsors, this could be stolen, in the sense that Newgrounds doesn't allow it. If at least the uploader was Kizi, which is linked from flazm.com as the host portal of Bob the Robber 4, but no, it's not the case. This entire OrangeGamesNL account could even be banned despite having earned an award and having submitted many games. OrangeGamesNL links to a website on its profile, but then you would have to look into the stance on random game portals submitting "stolen" games... (Games that they didn't made or sponsor, but may have permission to host, if they're free...)

The entire account as I had suggested was not deleted. Only the Bob the Robber submission was. Now, hilarity ensues. OrangeGamesNL just released a game (from the same authors of Bob the Robber) that is already on Newgrounds!

Un-scouted users have the button:
