Zomberry Island Trailer and Goldfish Fun Ad

Slanted Fish

The trailer video for Zomberry Island is up! Now that zombies have taken over Eastman, an eerie atmosphere hangs in the city air as one by one, victims are lost to the Zomberry plague…

It should be coming out very soon! When it does, the PHB will definitely be prepared to keep everyone alive with cheats for Zomberry Island.

In the meantime, there’s a new Goldfish Fun ad on Main Streets. (Thanks Mad Tornado and Strange Beetle!) You can find it on islands such as the recent Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, but it appears that older players don’t have access to the new building. Inside, you’ll find two games!

Goldfish Fun 2 Games

The first is Jetpack Dash, which is an off-site game that takes you to Goldfishfun.com so you can compete there. The other is Space Race, and all you have to do is get to the finish line first! Move your character (the bigger one) up and down with your cursor to avoid obstacles and get speed boosts (the portals) to go faster. When you win, you’ll be awarded a Space Racer Suit (pictured above) and Flying Fish Power, which sends the goldfish flying across your screen for a few seconds.

Also, the Balloons gold card item from the Store has been updated with a balloon for the Poptropolis Games. Thanks Ayman351! With all this flying around, you might just escape being turned into one of the zombies in the quickly-rising army of drones who proved that you really are what you eat…

Sneak Peeks

Things that go hoppity-hop and skitter in the night

Slanted Fish

Here’s a rarity – the Creators’ Blog has posted some animated sneak peeks! All we know is that “they come out in the night,” but look at them! Aren’t they just so cute to watch? 🙂

This hopping, cawing red bird appears to be a wind-up toy based on the knob on its back, but it’s moving quite realistically for a gadget!

And then there’s this mysterious, seemingly metallic scorpion crawling back and forth in a cage. The description at the end says “Somebody’s getting up to something…” What could it mean?


Could these creatures be part of the upcoming Zomberry Island, or something else entirely? Maybe we’ll know more soon. ‘Til then, they’ll be stuck in this continual loop! 😛

*skitters away*

The final installment of the Zomberry: Day Zero comic is here!

…And it looks like poor Joe’s soul has been claimed as well. The cause of the apocalypse, as we now know, is eating fruit! Now, how to save the town of Eastman is another story, which we’ll find out soon in the upcoming Zomberry Island. This ending is only just the beginning.

If you want to catch up with the rest of the comic, check out: part 1, part 2, part 3, part 4, and part 5 right here on the PHB. Stay alive!

PHB Sunday Special: Become a Living Zomberry

Slanted Fish

(Happy Sunday! Here’s a guest post by MetusNui; enjoy! -fishy)

Zomberry costumeHi viewers,

I’m MetusNui, a guy who likes blogging, but doesn’t have a blog of his own. This is my second post on PHB (click here to see the first) and today I’m going to talk about Zomberry Island. Want to know how to dress like a uh… zomberry?

  1. Colorize your hair and skin purple/indigo (your hair should a darker shade).
  2. Complete the Haunted House and get the Zombie Costume.
  3. Customize the Eyes and the Mouth.
  4. If you have the Applebees item, customize the handheld apple.

Enjoy your zomberry costume! When the island is released, it will look like a zombie (sorry, zomberry) fighting against other zomberries. 🙂

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory Island is now open to everyone! If you need a walkthrough, we’ve got you covered with our CatCF Island Guide or video playlist. Enjoy your golden ticket! 😀

Charlie Zomberry Map

As you rush excitedly over to the Wonka factory gates, you may notice a new island in the distance – yep, Zomberry Island is now COMING SOON on the Map! Thanks Jingle Dragon. We don’t know when exactly it’ll come out, but who knows, maybe they’ll time it for around December 21st, 2012 in keeping with an “end of the world” theme. 😛

Of course, you’ll want some gear if you’re going to survive this zombie apocalypse! Though it’s just for members… well, good luck out there, non-members. Put on your ZMB Unit and equip your Safety Flare, or you may just wind up turning into another victim with a bad case of Big Blue.

If you’re dying (heh, see what I did there?) to know the origin behind Poptropica’s zombie apocalypse, catch up with page 1, page 2, and page 3 of the Zomberry: Day Zero comic on this blog! The plot thickens in page 4…

Ohhh snap! Looks like it’s Joe Puddy vs. the Zombies. What will happen next?

Anyway, there’s been a lot of positive feedback about the recent change of the PHB’s layout, and I just wanted to say thank you for all your support and suggestions. And in case you haven’t seen them yet, the PHB has new pages for the Tribes of Poptropica, so go cheer on your favorite team! Also, thanks for helping us reach 7.4 million hits! Have a great weekend! 😀
