Hello! I'm Slanted Fish, the editor-in-chief and creator of the Poptropica Help Blog (PHB). I'm a writer, Hong Kong native, and Christ follower. My Poptropica username is slantedfish 🐠 Don't forget to be awesome!
What’s part of Poptropica’s world this week? Move over, The Little Mermaid: Home Island is now promoting Dreamworks’ upcoming animation — Ruby Gillman, Teenage Kraken! 🦑
Inside, where you’ll swim instead of walk, Ruby needs your help retrieving a trident. 🔱 Click to jump to dodge sea creatures and tap the space bar to blast water, which knocks things out of the way. But you can only do one action at a time, so balance your moves carefully!
Upon completing the chase, you’ll win a Sea Dog Follower and purple Kraken Tentacles, which glow pink when the space bar is pressed.
Maybe it is better down where it’s wetter. Up on land, you might have seen the news last week of New York City covered in orange skies, a sign of poor air quality — which Poptropica quickly likened to the dystopian future of Time Tangled Island in a meme on social media. ✴️
And the Creators are staying cute talking about a “Poptropica summer” popping with activities — but besides the ads, when will we be getting new content to enjoy? The Baron’s ship has been gone half a year…
i’m having a poptropica summer if anyone wants to join (going on spontaneous adventures with my friends, defeating villains, wearing cute outfits, solving puzzles, going island hopping in a giant blimp, etc)
Much of the Pop Creators team is a mystery these days, but we’re still getting cool content from Jonathan Pitcher, who recently posted a selfie showing him working on Goofball Island. Keep going, Jon!
My daughter said she met some girls at summer camp that didn’t believe her dad worked for Poptropica.

Heya! The day that you have all been waiting for— Zombies, Zombies, ALWAYS ZOMBIES. I might as well give you a brief introduction, but if you had missed the last chapter you can catch it here, or start from the beginning here. I also have some art that you can find here.
The story ended last time when Clumsy Bird, Witty Toothpick, and Jazzy Hawk got word that there were more people out there surviving, and that they would hold a meeting on Goofball Island, in the city hall. So they set their yellow blimp on course to that island… but… someone is watching their every move. And the team knows nothing about it at all.
What happens next?
You’ll have to find out for yourself.
ZOMBIES, ZOMBIES, ALWAYS ZOMBIES!
A Zomberry Series
Episode Five: Goofing Off
It’s nearing morning.
The yellow blimp passes several peaceful fields, gliding through the crisp morning air, over dew-spangled grass.The sun, just peeking over the horizon of hills, is bright and pure.
And then there are the zombies.
They are a bright indigo color, and occasionally speckling the grass. But they are what turn this rather calm morning into something of a nightmare.The birds tweeting and calling are drowned out by the eerie moans and groans.
Clumsy Bird
It’s MORNING? Isn’t this WONDERFUL?!
Clumsy Bird (or Birdy) seems extra cheerful this morning, perhaps because they were on their way to meet fellow survivors. She is bouncing around the small blimp, making it shake a little.
Witty Toothpick
Stop shaking the blimp! It’s too early in the morning! *yawn*
Clumsy Bird sits down on the chair by the blimp’s steering wheel, and keeps bouncing her feet off the group.
Hello. The last time we were with Friendly Thunder, he woke up in a diner, met Dizzy Claw, and encountered an enigmatic girl at the factory. Now let’s get started!
FADE IN.
We see FRIENDLY THUNDER, DIZZY CLAW, and ICY SNAKE sitting at the factory. DIZZY CLAW quickly sees something blue near a window. He grabs it. They’re blueprints!
