Time Tangled Island

Time Tangled isn’t Tangled anymore, and a new creator!

Hey everyone! It has been confirmed, Time Tangled Island has now been updated with the new navigation/soundtrack upgrade! Here’s the weird thing: the news was posted by an intern for the Poptropica Creators. His name is Gamer Guy!

You may have seen him in previous Daily Pop sneak peeks, and he is also on Zomberry Island (where we had the opportunity to play a video game in his apartment). Anyway, it sounds like Captain Crawfish is a bit wary of him too… (Hey Crawface, why don’t you hire the PHB crew?) Gamer Guy thinks the island isn’t his “type” – there’s not enough music, aliens, or fighting robots for him. Yeah, sounds like one of those 24/7/365 gaming addicts…

Anyway, that’s it Icicles, and I’m TI!

Man I need a better catchphrase… LOL

Daily Pop, Mocktropica Island

Our first look at some possible Mocktropica Island locations!

Hey everyone! I didn’t disappear, I have just been REALLY swamped with school work this semester, but I’m finally having time to both play and blog! Don’t worry, I’m going to be very active from now on that I managed to get through this first semester of high school. Back to the news!

With Mocktropica Island getting nearer and nearer, we may be getting our first look at what the inner workings of the Island will look like via the Daily Pop. Click the thumbnails to enlarge the pictures:

It looks like some of these resemble already established islands such as Twisted Thicket or Astro-Knights! Do you think that we will have to go into old islands and fix them? Some others look like we could either be creating new locations or maybe finishing locations. Either way, I think that these new locations shown in these previews will be pretty exciting!!

What do you think of these possible locations? How do you think that these locations will play into Mocktropica?

Poptropolis Games Island

Samwow5’s Take on the Poptropolis Games 2013!

POP1

Hello everyone! Recently Poptropolis Games 2013 came out, not to our surprise, so I’m going to do a review of the whole island and what it has to offer!

Overall Gameplay:  A-/B+

The game was great, like last time. But I wished they would have changed it up for the WINTER Olympics to make it more fun instead of pretty much the same thing.

Soundtrack: A

The new soundtrack was awesome! Great detail into the music, even they have rock sounds in this island! But what I dislike about it is: When your intense mode and trying to focus, you hear this relaxing music and it annoys me. Still very well made!

Skiing and Octopus Volleyball: A

The games were amazing, but I wished they added a touch that will blow the others away. Like, you can ski over different surfaces and avoid stuff (BTW that was pretty hard). Very great games though!

Bonus Quest: B

Same as last year, still wish they would have added more. Anyway, the bonus quest was awesome, but that wrestlers is kinda scary looking O_o xD

Here’s the results for me! I hate the Triple Jump……..

All you have to do is watch her tricks, then when it’s your turn, click when the red button tells you to, and you’ll do a flip! The prizes are the Super Flip Power and Gymnast Outfit.

In other news, PHB reader Silver Wolf mentioned to us that the Mocktropica Island desktop wallpaper contains a to-do list in the corner that includes “Balloon Boy Rescue Island”!

Could this mean that the island being created in Mocktropica has to do with the one who floated away on Counterfeit Island, the running gag we’ve seen occasional glimpses of ever since? Hmm…
