Daily Pop Sneak Peeks

Lost Levels of Poptropica

Slanted Fish

Recently the Daily Pop has been showcasing various images of three-storied rooms all with the caption “One of the lost levels of Poptropica” – implying, from what it seems, that these were ideas that never made it into the game. Perhaps they were going to be island common rooms or Multiverses?

Future Fest – This one has a bit of that Game Show Island feel to it.

Fantasy Forest – Reminds me of the Enchanted Forest Multiverse room. An alternate version, maybe?

Country Cabin – A quaint log cabin for the great outdoors… but where in Poptropica?

Ice House – Looks like it could’ve come out of the Ice Planet from Astro-Knights.

[POST UPDATE] Water World – Ooh, an aquarium. Maybe it was for Shark Tooth, seeing the trees.

Reminds me of an old image that surfaced more than four years ago, yet another lost level…

What do you think of all these lost levels? Will the Creators release them in the future, or are they going to be locked away in cyberspace forever? Leave a comment and tell us your favorite!

PHB Specials

PHB Sunday Special: Poptropica Doodle!

Slanted Fish

It’s tiiiime for another PHB special! You may have seen my Poptropican in the header or sidebar, but have you seen her doodled? ‘Cause I’ve got a speed drawing video of exactly that right here…

I started out with a rough sketch, traced it in black, and under that layer I colored it in – all that took about 50 minutes, but it’s been condensed into less than 3 for the video. Digital artwork was done by me on Sketchbook Express using a pen tablet. Also, if you’re interested, the PHB has a guide called How to Draw a Poptropican under the Cool Stuff tab.

For more Poptropica videos, please check out the PHB’s YouTube channel, the PHV (Poptropica Help Videos)! The user is MyPoptropicaHelp.

Well, I hope you enjoyed the video! 🙂

4th of July Special: Captain America Costume

Fuzzy-B

First off, to all those who are celebrating today, have a great 4th of July!

It appears that Poptropica is also celebrating, giving out a special prize that is perfect for today – a Captain America costume! The Disney XD Non-Stop Summer ad building has been updated to include the preview for the new Disney XD series Avengers Assemble, premiering this Sunday at 11AM/10 Central. So far, I have only found it on Charlie and the Chocolate Factory Island on boy accounts.

Once you watch the video, you receive the new Captain America Outfit! When you click on the “make me a hero” button, you are inserted into Captain America’s costume, but you will return back to what you were wearing before when you enter a new room/area. That means if you want to be able to wear the costume anywhere you go you have to press Ctrl + Shift + S, but be warned, this will do away with what you were already wearing and replace it with the Captain America Outfit.

The Creators also posted a reminder that no 4th of July celebration is complete without fireworks! You can head on over to the Poptropica Store and pick up the Fireworks gold card now and admire the amazing explosions.

Happy 4th of July!

Membership, Virus Hunter Island

Virus Hunter member bonuses incoming!

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!

Slanted Fish

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!
