Nice. Been playing this for at least an hour now, collecting medals, and it really was a blast. :) Completed the game without any helmets the first time around, just because I didn't know how to buy a helmet in the middle of a level. It'll take a while before I can upgrade all to gold, but the rest of them were a not too time-consuming task to get. Now, imagine if all those badges were also medals? 5 points per badge, maybe? Might be a lot of work to add them, but that would double the fun, at least! Great game otherwise, really flashy effects, nice transitions between levels, and a useful selection of powerups, not to mention all the helmet upgrades.Nice work!
