Steamworks Island – Page 2 – 🏝 Poptropica Help Blog 🗺

Isn’t exploring islands Vlad the Viking’s job?! But no, Crawfish takes on the task now. Poor Vlad… Wonder how much he got paid.

Captain Crawfish’s Steamworks Island travelogue, part 3

Steamworks Island opens to everyone this week! If you’re not excited, better make sure your heart’s still beating.

During my trip to the Island, I explored all the different ways to get around. Steamworks Island has so many fun little things tucked in that it’s hard to catch them all. But this one was impossible to miss.

A giant spring! Do I even need to tell you what this does?

It bounces you a little…

And then it bounces you a lot!

After a couple of hops, you can land on this platform, throw the switch, and get back to adventuring.

…or, you can just keep bouncing away!

I made my choice, and I stand by it.

Steamworks looks pretty spiffy if you ask me… I like sparkly and bouncy things. :3

Falling up

September 4, 2010September 4, 2010 Slanted Fish

Hijuyo: Wait, what? Falling up? Is that even possible?
Cpt Crawfish: Of course!
Hijuyo: CRAWFISH! YOU’RE BACK! I THOUGHT YOU’D BEEN NOMMED! O:
Cpt Crawfish: No, no, that was Captain Crawfish I. I’m Captain Crawfish II.
Hijuyo: …whatever. So, sup Crawfish?
Cpt Crawfish: Oooh! Oooh! I went to Steamworks Island and—
Hijuyo: You went there?! You’re a member? You moneywaster! D:<
Cpt Crawfish: No, NO! I’m a Creator!
Hijuyo: …oh. Well, what did you do there?
Cpt Crawfish: Oooh! There were these cool airflow thingies and it was epic! I got it all down on the second part of my travelogue:

All right, has everybody had something to eat? Checked your email? Gone to the bathroom? I want to make sure you’re all paying attention. It cost me a lot of money to have these pictures developed.

After having my fun with the nuts and bolts of Steamworks Island, next I happened upon some sort of massive, upward-blowing fan. Strange — why was this functioning was so much of the machinery on the Island was rusted and useless?

No matter. When you come across airflow like this, you’ve got to ride the slipstream.

The wind rocketed me into the air!

These things are all over the place on Steamworks Island. You can really catch some air. You can probably use them to complete the quest, too, but why rush?

CAPTAIN CRAWFISH

Hijuyo: Sweet.
Cpt Crawfish: IKR?! Oooh, and if you missed it, check out Part 1 of my stupendous travelogue! You gotta hear all about the elevating screw-thingies!
Hijuyo: Yeah! That’s the post with Coderkid’s poll-thingy! Don’t forget to click there!
Cpt Crawfish: Stop stealing the show! D:<
Hijuyo: Okai, back on topic. Steamworks Island will open to all players on September 9th! Yeyy! 😀

Captain Crawfish’s Steamworks Island travelogue

Believe it or not, we’re only a week away from opening Steamworks Island to everyone! During the Early Access period, I’ve ventured away from Skullduggery Island to explore the mysteries of Steamworks.

Lucky for you, I took pictures! Settle in for a vacation slideshow like you’ve never seen. And no talking until I’m done.

One of the great things about Steamworks Island is how many different ways there are to get around. You might overlook this little bit of simple machinery on first glance.

But look what happens when you stand on it and start running!

It takes you all the way up the thread of the screw.

I know there’s a mystery to solve on Steamworks Island, but I was having too much fun with this. As it turns out, that was a recurring theme of my trip.

Spare parts

Master Mime has told you about the Steam Robot on the loose in Poptropica. Don’t forget about the other robot Costumes you can get in the Poptropica store.

The Retro Robot sports sleek wings and big yellow eyes.

The Renegade Robot makes his own rules.

Don’t forget, with the power of the Costumizer, you can mix and match costumes from the Poptropica Store!

I call this the “Retrograde Robot.”

“Steamgrade Robot.”

You don’t even have to combine similar costume parts for a cool new outfit. Here’s a Mech Pilot head on a Renegade Robot body.

This is the, er… “Renemech Pilograde Robot?” We’ll work on that one.

You can use multiple powers at once, too!

What crazy costume combinations can you come up with?

VLAD THE VIKING

Ooooooh! SHINY! As you can see, Vlad wants to leave his ignorant age of viking ships and axes and needing silly amulets to go sailing and sail to the far distant future, Roboworld. Nanobots, Holoports, supercomputers, geocra- wait a minute! if Vlad has no computer, how can he post? OMBR Vlad has been an imposter all this time! OH NOEZ we must fire him! D8< Jail him! And then… OK, I’m not that violent. 🙄

Anyway, my favourite combination is the Retrograde robot. These aren’t really updates, but who cares? *shrug*

Hey, what’s that thing over there?!

*runs and hides while everyone is looking*

Un robot mui magnifico, e? Porque? Lea este e tu va a ver.

Congratulations to ST for posting the PHB’s 400th post yesterday. Here’s the 401st celebrating a new Poptropica Store costume!

Steam Robot on the Loose!

Several Poptropicans have reported that a Steam Robot has recently escaped from Steamworks Island!

We have this image to show you what it looks like. Take a look in the Poptropican store. It may be hiding there.
