Hey guys, BT here. Now, the Creators actually posted TWO pieces of big news over the short span of two days! The first piece reveals the next classic island to get an update with sound and bigger screen… Time Tangled!
Yes, it seems that Poptropica’s 3rd island will be next to get this update.
And there’s a bigger piece of news that has spawned…
Well, the Creators finally announced it with everything but the Poptropica Store Members Only Gold Cards and the exact date of its arrival. Here’s the video trailer for the island:
(Is that a reference to the weird YouTube viral video “Cows & Cows & Cows” I see in the trailer?)
So I was right when I said that the Creators are parodying themselves (yes!). Anyway, the info page has some interesting info including the island’s approximate release time…
Brave Tomato: Looks like someone missed their morning coffee…
Coming mid-December!
Poptropica is under new management, and it’s falling apart at the seams! The newest Island isn’t finished, the staff is nowhere to be found, and you can’t take two steps without running into a game-breaking bug. Get ready to go behind the scenes for your most important adventure yet — because this time, you’ve got to save Poptropica itself!
An island about making an island? ISLAND-CEPTION! Time to break the fourth wall, peeps, and save our game! (Although I wonder if this is just an excuse to get away with ACTUAL bugs and glitches that can occur…)
Speaking of saving our game, here’s an odd bonus quest that… may bring in a new villain! O.O
Brave Tomato: Who’s that? And why did I think he was a girl when I first saw the pic?
Bonus Quest
A rogue programmer has conquered a rival website and now rules it like a king. You must venture outside the safety of Poptropica to bring him back — if you can last long enough to find him!
Who’s that? Is the rival website MegaFightingBots.com, that battling robots game showed in the island trailer? So many questions, yet so little answers…
By the way, the Creators just made that website real, although coming soon. This is what you’d see on the website:
Poptropolis Games 2013 is on the rise, and with it, two exciting new events: Octopus Volleyball and Volcano Race! And what a big cephalopod we’ve got here…
Now what about Volcano Race? Perhaps the Daily Pop can give us a clue… or maybe these recent sneak peeks are part of something else entirely.
Sit On It – In our Game of Thrones, everybody wins.
Any Two Can Play – And the big wheel keep turnin’. Neon burnin’ up above.
Blades of Steel – We’d make a cutting remark but we’re feeling a little dull.
The Poptropica Creators also referenced the 2013 movie Gravity in one of their posts this week, suggesting that the idea may be similar to the plot of Lunar Colony Island. How cool would a Poptropica film be? Poptropica islands may well be movie-worthy material!
Deep in the Poptropica sea, you might find some bored-looking fish who couldn’t care less about the diver in the bright blue – at least in this sneak peek. Maybe it’s for Poptropolis Games 2013?
There’s also a few ads currently in place around Poptropica. The Little Mermaid Diamond is on SOS Island and you can play a game to help Ariel find her voice. You’ll transform into a mermaid and swim with Flounder, and a bar at the top shows you how close you are. Avoid obstacles and watch your health in the top-left corner. At the end, you’ll win a Sebastian Follower and Dinglehopper power, which gives you a fork (press spacebar to make your or others’ hair go crazy).
Dork Diaries can be found on Back Lot and you can get the Dork Diaries Power upstairs, which gives you a baton (spacebar to have the DD logo flash onscreen).
Desmond Pucket can be found on Zomberry, and your task is to help him pull off a prank by avoiding hall monitors until you reach the cafeteria at the bottom. Desmond will tell you what to do along the way to help you get there safely. At the end, you’ll win a Desmond Costume and Ricky’s Whoopee Cushion (spacebar to plant one on the ground and step over it for the sound effect)!
Also, remember that Virus Hunter Island has been out for quite a while now! Have you checked your finished ranking on the World Champions Player Map yet? Where did you place? If you haven’t completed the island yet, be sure to check out our Virus Hunter Island Guide!
At the online Poptropica Shop, you can buy personalized clothing with your Poptropican on them (adult sizes were recently added too!) – but there’s potential for even more.
From now until the end of next week, you have the chance to vote in a poll on the sidebar of the Creators’ Blog for what you think they should add (vote for as many as you like!). So far, iPhone cases have taken the lead, followed by backpacks, water bottles, birthday party supplies, long sleeve t-shirts, and finally, towels.
Virus Hunter Island should be out in less than a day now! Members will get to play the bonus quest then, and non-members will finally be able to complete the entire island in all its sound and big-screened glory. Check out that salivated space:
While we wait, let’s take a look at some recent Daily Pop sneak peeks! These look like a continuation of the geology-themed, underground cave exploration pics you may remember were posted on the PHB earlier. Maybe rock crushing is the new Candy Crush?
Match 3 – No, this isn’t any kind of Bejeweled Candy Crushery.
Pooled Resources – Hydrothermal energy is the wave of the future.
Outcropping – These formations rock.
Low Tech – We’re talking really, really low.
Shroom Available – Looks like a fungal infection has gotten out of control.
Hey guys, BT here. Now, first of all, you know the Create Your Dream Island where anyone kids between ages 8-12 can submit their own island ideas? Well, this is only part of the tons of entries the Creators have been receiving:
Wow, that’s a lot of entries (and a pic of Super Power Island characters Speeding Spike and Betty Jetty among them)! However, only one of these entries will become an island, but there will be finalists who will still get something for trying.
I wish I was young enough to participate… I have a great idea that’s been floating in my head for a while.
Anyways, I’ve been looking around the Daily Pops lately and I’ve been seeing a lot of strange ones (there’s a lot of these so you’ll need to click on ‘Read more’ if you want to check them out here)…
