PHB Review: Timmy Failure Island

What’s popping, Poptropicans? Blake here, with a little something different for you guys. I’m actually going to be reviewing the most recent Island: Timmy Failure! Without further ado, let’s jump right in!

Of course, today I’m reviewing Timmy Failure Island. And my verdict? I absolutely loved it. It was exactly like one of the books! You know, those books I TOTALLY read before the week prior to the Island coming out… Yeah.

The writing was spectacular, and it really felt like I became a character. Getting to interact with Timmy and the rest of the gang was amazing, and way better than that other book themed Island I hate with every fibre of my body… LOOKING AT YOU, COSMOE!

Anyway, I guess it’s time I break into my literal review of Timmy Failure Island

Story: 4.5/5

The story for this island was good, but it wasn’t the best either. The Creators did an excellent job making you feel like you were a part of the Island’s story, and I loved seeing that from a book themed island.

Characters: 3/5

For an island based on Timmy Failure, we really didn’t see much of Timmy. Even his polar bear sidekick got more screentime. In my opinion, if you’re going to make a book themed Island, I’d suggest focusing more on the main character of the island, which in this one we only really communicated with through his detective log.

Art Direction: 5/5

For a book themed Island, the art in this was spectacular. It really immersed you in Timmy’s world, taking you from his house, to the zoo, to the offices of Corrina Corrina. I expect to see more of this type of art in the future.

Well, that’s my review! I feel like for a first time, I did a pretty good job. Anyway, stay popping, Poptropicans!

Escape from Pelican Rock Island, New Islands, Sneak Peeks

Coming up next: Prison Break Island?

HPuterpop

Hi Gs,

Big news! Just before the release of Timmy Failure Island for non-members, I have a tidbit of info concerning the next island – now officially Prison Break Island!

It hasn’t been formally announced, but I found it in the files, along with some a list of the items on the island. I’m going to save some details for the Behind-the-Scenes & Theory, but here’s a few pictures of the preliminary Main Street:

I’m excited for this island – it looks fresh and somewhat different from the regular Poptropica tone. In fact, from the Daily Pops that have been released, it reminds me of Our Discovery Island in the art direction! Check out more sneak peeks in the PHB’s Prison Break Island post category!

The Watchtower: Two riders were approaching, and the wind began to howl.
Spotlight: One time you may not want to be center stage.
Mise En Place: We’ve got mouths to feed.
The Space Between: The question is, can you slip through the cracks?
From a Distance: Something new is on the horizon.

TAFN.

Hey everyone! Just a reminder that Timmy Failure Island is out for everyone tomorrow! Yeah that’s right…a Tuesday! (Find out why in this PHB post.)

For everyone getting ready to start the great pants chase, we have a guide made by our very own Brave Tomato that can help you through the parts you get stuck on!

In other news, there have been some changes on Home Island! In front of the Shop, there used to be a guy with an eyepatch standing there – but now there’s a different NPC, the gender of whom depends on your character. The outfit of the NPC also varies, but it looks pretty snazzy!

Finally, last but not least, there has been some changes to the Photo Booth (plus the NPC in front has been replaced with a witch)! The Creators just added some frightful new backgrounds, characters, and props! Now you can make Poptropica Halloween-themed photos using backgrounds and stickers with all your favorite Halloween characters.

Anyway, that’s it guys! Have a fun time with all the new updates and send us some of your photos! We want to see your amazing creations!

Timmy Failure Island

Prepare for failure this… Tuesday?!

Slippery Raptor

Hey guys, Slip here.

timmybookThe Creators have reminded us that on October 6th, which is next Tuesday, Timmy Failure Island will be open to all players! But why does it fall upon a Tuesday when island releases are usually on Thursdays?

Here’s the reason they gave: “on that same day, the newest Timmy Failure book will become available when Timmy Failure: Sanitized for Your Protection hits bookshelves!”

Oh cool! So now you know what to do on Tuesday! Poptropica usually updates around 12 PM-3 PM EST, so make sure to get a head start on this pants-chasing adventure!

Stuck trying to find Timmy’s pants? Check out our Timmy Failure Island Guide here on the PHB! Make sure to leave a comment. 🙂
