Slanted Fish

Hahaha, kids getting their growth spurt, and now a shrink spurt, get it? Got it? Good.

Moving on… the day your Poptropican turns miniature (if it hasn’t already) will be the day Shrink Ray Island releases to the public! And that day is…

July 28th!

That’s about two weeks away from now. Not to worry, the PHB already has our Shrink Ray island resources up and ready on our Island Help page, which links to our written walkthrough guide with Shrink Ray Island cheats, a labeled map, video playlist tutorial, and if you’re still stuck, an ever-helpful discussion page!

In other news, thanks to PHB reader Angry Wing we have learned the names of some more Poptropica Creators – Cara Campanelli, who handles customer support, and Kevin McGrath, who used to work as Poptropica’s customer support. And thanks to Crazy Thunder, who gave us the identity of Jon Pitcher, alias Master Mime, and John “J.T.” Gallant, an intern at Poptropica. You can check out all this and more on our Poptropica Creators’ Database.

Until next time!

Store

You’re a Firework

July 6, 2011August 5, 2012 Slanted Fish

Do you ever feel like a plastic bag, drifting through the wind, wanting to start again?

Make ’em go “oh, oh, oh” with the new Poptropica Store item… FIREWORKS!

From now until Labor Day (September 5th this year for the US), use this Gold Card item from the Store and let the colors burst as you ignite the night with a firecracker flash!

While you’re making the sky explode with this fun item, don’t forget to come party on the PHC with the rest of the Poptropica Help community on July 26th, where we’ll be celebrating this blog’s 3rd anniversary and hosting the 3rd author night at the same time! Check out the post below to get all the details (or just click here).

Shrink or Swim: Celebrating Poptropica’s 20th Island!

June 30, 2011July 1, 2011 Slanted Fish

The Poptropica Help Network is proud to present:

Shrink Ray Island Resources: Guide | Videos

Shrink Ray Shot — Is he trying to 'sea' whether this calamari squid can swim on land, or will it have to face the shrink ray?

Straight from the Creators’ Blog:

Shrink Ray Island is now available!

Poptropica Members have full access to the newest Poptropica adventure. Non-Members can also try out the special Early Access demo. Head on over to Poptropica and see what the big deal is!

Well, the fact that it isn’t fully available for non-members was a bit of a disappointment at our PHC Countdown Party, but at least the non-mems still get more than they usually do – an early access demo of the island! Paying members get to enjoy the entire island first, as usual. PHB staff member ElmoPwns has already written a walkthrough guide with all the Shrink Ray Island cheats, which you can check out by clicking here!

Shrink Ray Island is also Poptropica’s 20th island! HAPPY TWENTY, POPTROPICA! (And to think I could have counted the number of islands there were on one hand when I first started playing…) They’ve just released the trailer video for it, too, so take a look!

Remember: Being tiny can be fun, but don’t lose your true self and size!

Time is shrinking: the Countdown for Shrink Ray Island

June 30, 2011August 5, 2012 Slanted Fish

It won’t be long now.

Thursday, June 30th, is the promised day for the release of Shrink Ray Island. There’s a countdown timer on the Poptropica homepage so you’ll know exactly what time it’s released, all the way down to the seconds.

So using the current time on the countdown timer and the time it is right now in your area, calculate what time it will be for you when Shrink Ray Island comes to life.

Then show up at the Poptropica Help Chatroom half an hour ahead of that time so the whole Poptropica community can count down with you in anticipation of the island’s release.

And when the time comes… we’ll all play together.

You. Everyone. PHC. Countdown party.

Be there.

Rockin’ with Rodrick

June 28, 2011June 28, 2011 Slanted Fish

Rodrick’s band could really use your rockstar voice to win the talent show.
Will you do it?

Fans of Rodrick and/or his band, Loded Diper (from Diary of a Wimpy Kid), now have the chance to rock out with them in the new ad for Rodrick Rules! Or does rocks sound better? Rodrick rules? Rodrick rocks? …How about we just get to helping the band?
