Merry Christmas everyone!
For Starlight 2, let’s do an easy badge for completing the classic level set and a medium badge for completing the pro level set (still pretty easy, but it takes a little longer). Suggest names if you’d like.

I did manage to come up with one more idea, which would work for either badge. I can’t really claim that it’s great, but it does fit, and it’s so spectacularly corny that I can’t resist: “Battle of the Networked Stars.”

I would like “Networked Star Wars” more :D

That would be a really long medium badge.

You’ve done enough badges involving stars of some sort, so why not be super bland and make the badge “Star Badge”. :D

i vote for The Stars Are Projectors and No Fault in Our Stars for the badge name

Really? It took me about 20 minutes. It’s always obvious which “side” the image is on; you just have to point that side toward the camera and then rotate it a bit. It actually seems to be on the shorter/easier end of the medium badge spectrum to me.

I think we all agree that [Heather’s Halloween Christmas](http://www.kongregate.com/games/Ruudiluca/heathers-halloween-christmas) deserves 3 badges that should all be in upcoming quests and a sponsored challenge.

I’d like to say I want that Kepler space game to have badges, but when I played it (and got at least a score), I found so many bugs that I don’t think this game can be badged yet.
They had a bugfix released recently and I haven’t seen it yet, but I doubt all the bugs are gone already.

Well, we might as well, it’s not necessarily a christmas themed game, right?

Since Reckless Speed is in the queue, I dug up my old suggestions. Obviously its playability may be a concern at the moment; assuming that can be worked around…
**Wreckless Speed** Badge (easy ~ 5 points)
Race through the ruins and rack up 2,000 points.
[] 2,000 points earned (best so far: )
**Apollo 13,000** Badge (hard ~ 30 points)
Prove yourself to be a true PMFer by scoring 13,000 points.
[] 13,000 points earned (best so far: )
**Hyperdriven** Badge (impossible ~ 60 points)
Achieve a Perfect Run on every stage, including all four ninja stages.
[] All Perfect Runs (best so far: )
Obviously, the most notable suggestion there is going to be the last one; Bullet Heaven 2 suggests that even the most popular games aren’t immune to ratings erosion when impossible badges are added, but I would argue that rating (if not cosmetic) becomes at the very least less significant once the game is actually badged. There’s no question that the suggested task would be impossible-level; it’s _very_ hard.
More problematic, however, would be that the API (if I recall correctly) doesn’t actually track anything but score, and the developer was hesitant to add additional statistics. All of that was probably four years ago, so I’m not really sure if anything has changed on that front. If that’s the case, then it’s a moot point anyway, because the impossible badge as suggested _can’t_ be added.
In any case, the easy and hard badge are readily accommodated by the score stat, and are pretty balanced. 13,000 points might be a little harder than a typical hard these days, but not overly so, and it does correspond to an in-game challenge/idea, so it’s appropriate in that regard.

Don´t do reckless speed. My unity player doesn´t support 2.x games. And I am pretty sure i won´t be the only one. (or tell me a way to get around that )

I’d support the badges on reckless speed since it’d honestly be a great imp and one I’ve hoped for for awhile (And I have supported it too). I just can’t support it anymore though, as we don’t really have much time before unity is gone completely and all the badges are fully retired.

Well, the badges were decided and ready to go, I don’t understand what is taking so long.
