Galactic Hot Dogs Island

Is Galactic Hot Dogs a full island? (+ item names!)

HPuterpop

Hi Gs,

UPDATE: It’s Poptropica-official… Galactic Hot Dogs Island will be a full island! 😀

But do read on for a little extra insight, including the names of the items in the upcoming Island. 😉

I suggested in my last GHD post that the Galactic adventure may be a full island, what with the Poptropica Creators suggesting full islands coming back on Twitter, and there not being an episode section on the island tour page – but more clues lie within Poptropica’s files.

It seems even more certain than ever before, however, as the island name in the files is labeled “GHD“. Not “GHD1” or “GHD2” – just GHD. Considering that they always file episodic adventures labeled with numbers, it seems odd that they would leave the name after adding all the items for the island.

What are these items, you ask? An egg, a fuel cell, a fruit, a gelatin salad, a giant spoon, a guano, a map-o-sphere, a seed pod, and of course, the Island Medallion.

Also, they added the icon for GHD Island, which is a giant G… how original. 😛

App, Arabian Nights Island, Glitches

Poptropica for your Kindle Fire & Plundered Armor for members!

HPuterpop

Hi Gs,

I wanted to make a quick post for the Kindle Fire users of the community – I also own a Kindle Fire – to tell them that they can in fact install Poptropica on their Kindle Fire (it’s free, too!). Watch the video below (I apologize for the poor quality of the screen recordings).

The only drawback to this is that you won’t be able to make in app purchases (basically, you won’t be able to install the islands that cost money).

Anyway, I hope you find this tutorial helpful – if you did, consider subscribing to my YouTube channel – I make gaming stuff, art stuff, and Poptropica stuff, so you may want to check it out. 😉

By the way, members can now collect a new free costume – Plundered Armor, available in the Store for Arabian Nights: Ep. 2 (Lair of Thieves), coming out this Thursday for members. Plus, check out the PHB’s Behind the Scenes: Overview & Theory for Arab Ep. 2: Lair of Thieves to get an idea about what’s coming up! We’ll have a guide for the episode as soon as possible. 🙂

Galactic Hot Dogs Island, New Islands

May the hotdog be with you.

HPuterpop

Hi Gs,

Things are getting real with the upcoming Galactic Hot Dogs Island – the island tour page is now up and the teaser trailer has also been released!

It looks like a really cool island, and a fresh experience from the normal islands –

From the hit graphic novel comes the zaniest Poptropica adventure yet. Hop aboard the Neon Wiener for an intergalactic voyage with Cosmoe, Humphree, and Princess Dagger!

Also, will this be a full island? Although in the files there’s no indication of GHD, the info page doesn’t have an episode section like the other episodic adventures..

I haven’t read much of the series, but Poptropica has endorsed the comic quite a lot over the past year, so similarly to the Wimpy Kid Islands, I’d say that we’re in for a treat. It looks like that one of the members-only items will be a Galactic Space Suit (remember, however, that the F.R.E.D. Follower will be coming to the Store for all!).

Btw, the teaser trailer’s description reads something a bit different than the island description –

Warp into adventure with the Galactic Hot Dogs on Poptropica! The Galaxy holds many wonders, dangers, and a gigantic Hot Dog as big as a Jeep! Discover an adventure to top it all, and don’t forget the mustard! Coming Soon.

Something about a gigantic hot dog? Is that part of the original comic? Tell me in the comments, and also tell me what you think about this new adventure. 😀

App, Comics, Mission Atlantis Island

Atlantis Ep. 2 free on iOS & looking ahead to 2015!

Slanted Fish

Hey Poptropicans! For those of you who’ve been holding off on playing Mission Atlantis: Ep. 3 (Out of the Blue) on iOS because it cost money, there’s good news: it’s now free! Just update your Poptropica app on iOS and you’re good to go. If you need help, check out our Mission Atlantis Island Guide!

We also have some official intel stating that Arabian Nights: Ep. 1 and PoptropiCon: Ep. 2 will be coming to the Android app this Wednesday (Dec 10), so there’s that for all you Androiders!

Speaking of the Poptropica app, remember that you can customize your character at the New You shop in the Home scene. There’s not a whole lot right now compared to the online version, but the Creators have tweeted that they’ll be adding more in 2015.

In fact, a number of recent tweets hint at what’s to come next year: for one thing, as mentioned earlier, full (albeit fewer) islands will be returning around late January – “full” meaning no episodes!

Here’s a tweet listing some other projects in the works for 2015: Land (for everybody), connecting the Poptropica app with our online accounts (but not until late 2015), a Kindle app, adding common rooms and multi-player functionality to the app, Timmy Failure Island (another sponsored island!)…

…and last but not least, the graphic novel based on the Poptropica comics. In fact, the Creators have shamelessly tweeted yet another page of it, which you can see below:

graphic novel pageRegarding The POPCORN magazine, the December issue will be out sometime this week (sorry for the delay!). Now’s your last chance to send something in – see our Magazines page for more details! Due to time constraints, this will be the end of the series (at least for now), but it’s had a good run. 🙂

Anyway, that’s all the updates (app-dates?) for now – stay popping, Poptropicans. 😛

Galactic Hot Dogs Island, Shrink Ray Island

Sound-updated Shrink Ray Island is out to all & GHD sneak peeks!

Slippery Raptor

Hey everyone! Slippery here. Guess what?! The newly-improved and updated Shrink Ray Island is finally out to all! Now, everyone can finally stop the masked guy who shrunk you and return back to our normal lives. To be honest, this is one of my favorite islands on Poptropica. 😀

Click the image to play the Shrink Ray SUI on Poptropica!

If you’re having trouble completing the island, check out PHB’s Shrink Ray Island Guide. Also, the Shrink Ray (gun) is still available in the Store for free – grab it before it goes!

Meanwhile on Twitter, Poptropica posted several sneak peeks for the upcoming Galactic Hot Dogs (GHD) Island, based on the Funbrain graphic novel series. Here we go!

First, the Creators released this image and along with it is a tweet that says: “Something’s happening.” Unfortunately, the image they uploaded is quite small, but we can still make out what it is.

This is an unreleased item card called “F.R.E.D. Follower“. It is related to Galactic Hot Dogs: F.R.E.D. is the flying robot that helps keep Cosmoe’s spaceship, the Neon Wiener, running smoothly (to learn more about the characters, check out the GHD page on Funbrain). From this snapshot, it looks like the card will be free and accessible to everyone since there is no “Members Only” written on the card.

Next, Poptropica also tweeted a scene from the island. Awesome, right?

As you can see, there’s the Neon Wiener on the lower right of the image. Along with that, there are strange trees and plants on this planet, monsters floating back and forth, and rock-like platforms that we can jump on to reach the other side.

Lastly, the Creators also tweeted a picture featuring some “alien creatures for (an) upcoming island”, presumably also GHD, but have labeled it as rejected art, meaning they will not appear on the island.

With GHD Island on its way next year, it’s possible it may be a full island instead of an episodic one – check out this comment exchange from the Arabian Nights trailer telling us that “full islands will start appearing late January” (plus, check out the new-ish Poptropica App Preview video!) —

full islands coming back
