Virus Hunter member bonuses incoming!

July 3, 2013July 17, 2013 Slanted Fish

You know Virus Hunter is really coming soon when you see the members-only free bonuses start to come into the Store. The first of these is the Virtual Virus Costume, available only during the Early Access period. Because you’ve always wanted to look just like a virus… right?

The costume comes in two parts. When you Costumize the lower half with the body and legs, your own Poptropican’s legs will be replaced by this set of limbs which will have you skittering about like a spider.

[UPDATE 1 – July 9] The Inside-Out Power is here to give you deep insight on the insides (literally) of your Poptropican’s very being (or the very beings of others).

[UPDATE 2 – July 16] The last one is the Sneezing Powder – use it by pressing the space bar and you can give someone a sneezing fit! Aaa… aaahhh-choo!

By the way, remember the PHB’s Ongoing Story Creation? It’s still going (because it’s ongoing), so if you’d like to contribute to or even just read a Poptropica fan-fic created by fellow Poptropicans, you’re welcome to join in!

24 Carrot Island

Play 24 Carrot BETA Carrotene without Membership!

Update: The cheat has been fixed.

You heard right! Although now that this is leaked, the Creators may patch this, so try it out while you can! To play 24 Carrot BETA Carrotene Island without membership, just click this link. Credit goes to HPuterpop for the discovery. I’ve recorded a video of the beta, complete with sound:

Only members get to keep the pink jumpsuit, but this still gives non-members a chance to try it out and send some feedback to the Creators! Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to play through all of it, as the keyboard wouldn’t show up for me to type on Dr. Hare’s computer, and it lagged and crashed a few times so it took a while to put the video together as well. The cursor made it harder to move as well, so it’s a good thing that’s not going to stay! Also in the video, you’ll notice I went through the smelter room squished – that was, um, amusing.

Anyway, the music was really impressive, and the larger screen was so big my 13-inch laptop screen couldn’t view it all until I actually full-screened! Not having to chase the cat was also a plus. Happy beta testing, everyone!

Black Flags flag, clothing characters, Beta bugs fixed

June 29, 2013July 2, 2013 Slanted Fish

This new Daily Pop sneak peek might be another hint that Poptropolis Games Island is returning! Check out that glorious Black Flags tribe flag. (Of course, not as cool as the Flying Squid tribe!)

Plant your flag – …which is kind of hard to do when there’s no solid ground around.

Also, when you’re buying Poptropica clothing from the Shop, you can now select from some of these popular Poptropica characters (funny how they’re all villains). Sadly, they don’t come with their cool poses (or carrots in Dr. Hare’s case).

If that’s not enough, check out our Friend Finder page for more awesome usernames! You could even get a shirt of a Poptropican Jesus Christ, complete with costume and custom name, by entering the user thejesus1. Just putting that idea out there.

The Creators have been busy making fixes to 24 Carrot BETA Carrotene Island, thanks to all the members who beta-tested and gave feedback. There are more details in their post, and don’t worry, they even said they’d be “implementing the classic movement cursor”! So that probably means no cumbersome common room cursor – sounds like everyone got what they wanted.

Lastly, the PHB has a new slogan on the header! It says “pop inside the PHB – we’re your Poptropica key.” Simple, still includes the obligatory “pop” pun, and tells who we are. Hope you like it.

Virus Hunter Island

Journey to the center of Carl

June 22, 2013June 24, 2013 Fuzzy-B

Hey there!

This week has given us some new looks at Virus Hunter Island and the currently unnamed battle bot island (possibly Mocktropica Island). First off we got a look at a marvelous hero preparing to save Poptropica from the evil lurking within (literally).

Later, we were able to confirm that this was in fact a screen shot from… wait for it… the trailer for Virus Hunter which you can view below.

At the end we get a statement that Poptropica is “now in sound” which seems to confirm that not only this island will be released in sound, but that all of the previous islands can be looking for a full sound makeover in the possibly not so distant future.

The Daily Pop has also offered up some previews at what we can expect from this upcoming battle bot adventure.

The first preview appears to show a bot in action and the second appears to show something that could possibly be a battle arena surrounded by on watching battle bots. I am getting very, very excited about how these battle bots are going to fit into a story. Is it just me, or are these journeys inside of bodies and giant battling robots reminding you of Jimmy Neutron too?

Also, the cursor is not staying that way.

So head on over to Poptropica to play 24 Carrot BETA Carrotene Island and check out all the great new features we’ve got coming up!

CAPTAIN CRAWFISH

So I got the chance to play BETA Carrotene, and let me tell you- it was rather different. First of all, I am in love with the music and the mood it sets (my favorites tracks are the Factory Exterior and Dystopia Main Street tracks). The sound effects are cool, when they’re not annoying (ahem, the mouse in the sewage pipes).

However, while playing BETA, I noticed that the maneuvering of my character as compared to the background is a little off. I found myself shifting different directions a couple of times and at times I found my character frozen (especially after playing the minigame where you crash Dr. Hare’s rabbot into the asteroids, but he unfroze after a period of ime), but these glitches can be fixed later. After all, it IS a beta test, so it isn’t going to be perfect. Well, the good news is that from my perspective, the island is, luckily, playable. Glitchy, but playable.

Also, is it me, or does it look creepy when the characters’ eyes go all like this when they talk?:

Also, it seems that the Creators caught our annoyance with the common room cursor and stated “Also, the cursor is not staying that way,” in its own separate paragraph. Phew, that’s a relief.

What do you guys think?

BT out!
