Curse time!

March 3, 2012March 3, 2012 Shaggy Tornado

In case you’ve been hiding out and avoiding the sunlight, Vampire’s Curse Island is OUT! Non-members get a demo, and Members get a special bonus quest! They added in two extras for all. First, they gave us a Vamp Curse wallpaper!

And second of all, a free downloadable poster! 😀 Link is below, because it’s too big to post here:

They also updated the homepage with vampire fangs! Also included below are Vamp Curse related ads. (Thanks Flamez!)

Here’s a random sheep from VC and some scenes:

Some changes on VI that I need to note: There’s rain and thunder, with SOUND! 😮 The whole island will be released to all on 3/22/12! The demo ends when you attempt to get into the castle.

~~~

Since VC was released yesterday, there’s already 10 people who’s lifted the curse! Say congrats to:

1. SILVER SEAL!

2. Shiny Star

3. Bony Skull

4. Moody Coyote

5. Incredible Peanut

6. Hyper Flame

7. Crazy Coyote

8. Magic Panda

9. Bashful Fish

and 10. Tall Flame

Congrats to you! 😀

Have you heard that Poptropica is now at Applebee’s?

Now, when your family dines at your neighborhood Applebee’s restaurant, you’ll get a Poptropica activity book full of games and puzzles starring your favorite Poptropica characters.

These activity books will be there until May 7 in North America! So go persuade your parents to eat at Applebee’s today! 🙂

~~~

Once last thing: today is Dr. Seuss’s 108th birthday! 😀

The ad is still on Main Street but it won’t be for long! Go play it before it disappears! And make sure you see The Lorax, in theaters today! 😀

Your new island pack

February 25, 2012 elmopwns

Can’t wait for Vampire’s Curse Island? The creators won’t just let us sit the last remaining days of the countdown in our chairs doing nothing but watching that clock. Your new Island pack/gear is here. Of course, all of these (needless to say) our members only gold items. So if you’re a member, you can directly recieve such gear for free.

Go ahead, activate some of that garlic 😀 and perhaps release some odor that will drive away vampires perhaps. Chew on some vampire bat gum and release a swarm of spooky cratures. Or dress up as a count. One can never have too much fun with store items.

Again, all of these are free to members. Have fun out there, guys. RD dashin off.

Sneak Peeks

It’s Mega Post Friday!

February 25, 2012February 25, 2012 Shaggy Tornado

Looks like the PHB hasn’t been updated for a while, so here’s a Mega-Post of all the updates for this week! 😀

1 Cactus…von…Garlic?

First update on the blog, on Tuesday, was about a character that you might possibly meet on Vampire’s Curse! And his name is Cactus von Garlic?

Bow, garlic, sullen stare…. Could he be a vamp hunter? 😮 Let’s see! And look at that metal “necklace” thing!

~~~

2. Picture Perfect!

A new update that the Creators have been working on has been previewed on Wednesday! It appears to be something like a photo booth or editor. What do you think?

It shows a scene from Astro Knights with a caption, and there are some clothing and trash icons in the corner! What’s your opinion on this feature? They’ll be releasing details soon!

~~~

3. Oxygen Rich!

An edition of Poptropica Tips and Tricks was released on Thursday! It’s about having more oxygen the second time around on SOS Island!

One problem: The diving suit is only if you play through the Bonus Quest, which is only for members. Anyway, if you wear it, you get more oxygen! You could even play a tune on the piano! 😀

~~~

4. Countdown and Map Changes

An official release date for members has been set for Vampire’s Curse! It comes in about 5 days, so that would be… either February 29 or March 1st (depending on your time zone and where you live)!

Also, some changes have been made to the Poptropica map! Gray Wolf/Tough Hawk first notified us through the comments! Looks like the map has turned into a book! The islands are arranged in order by release date from bottom to top. Thanks Flamez and Alice for the map and countdown pictures!

~~~

Hope you have a great weekend! 😀

Advertisements, App

Trees, trees, everywhere!

February 21, 2012February 21, 2012 Shaggy Tornado

Who’s a fan of trees?! If you are (and also have a hankering to do a new mega-sized Poptropica ad) , The Lorax ad is the right ad for you! (as seen on the PCB):

Many things to do, many things to see! Inside this adventure is the place to be!

There’s an exciting new MEGA-SIZED adventure on Poptropica! Go to Game Show Island and you will find it on Main Street!

And they are right! It’s truly mega-sized! Lots of new prizes to get! 😀 *Note: This is also their second Saturday post!

~~~

There are also new guides available for the Poptropica App! Get the scoop here:

The Poptropica Tips & Tricks app just got a little more helpful. With a new update, now you can get walkthroughs for our two newest adventures, S.O.S. Island and Ghost Story Island!

Visit the App Store or Android Marketplace to download the update, then launch the app. The guides for S.O.S. Island and Ghost Story Island will now be in the list of Island guides for in-app purchase.

~~~

Are you looking for another Poptropica blog? One of our authors, MT, started one and wants to see what you think! It’s called LegitPop!

And another 3-day weekend is over, but I had fun! Did you? 😀

SOS, it’s the Vampire’s Curse!

February 17, 2012February 19, 2012 Brave Tomato

Okay, first of all, SOS is now available to the public!!!

Thursday, February 16, 2012

S.O.S. Island is now available to all!

Visit Poptropica now to play S.O.S. Island!

SHARK BOY

Okay, that’s great for the non-member audience out there…

Random Audience Member: But what about Vampire’s Curse Island???

Well, yesterday, the Creators released the trailer… and… let’s just say it’s different from the other trailers.

Wednesday, February 15, 2012

Watch the trailer for Vampire’s Curse Island!

The trailer for Vampire’s Curse Island is here!

Pretty spooky, eh?

Vampire’s Curse Island is coming soon to Poptropica. We’ll have a lot more information soon!

CAPTAIN CRAWFISH

Aha. So this Count Graham cracker (excuse me, Bram) guy is taking an innocent girl? One word: Dracula.

Well, along with the trailer yesterday, the Creators also posted the story page for Vampire’s Curse Island, with once again, an epilogue! Hey, the epilogue’s always somewhere!

The story page reads:

For centuries, a truce has existed between the people of a remote mountain village and the vampire who lives in the castle high above. Now, that truce is shattered, and Count Bram has captured a young villager. Can you rescue her from his evil clutches — and avoid being struck by the vampire’s curse?

Okay. The Creators gave us TWO things to worry about. One, getting this Katya girl away from Count Bram, and two, avoid Bram’s vampire curse.

Also, there’s going to be an epilogue bonus quest for members only after you finish the island. It reads:

Poptropica members can play a bonus quest after completing Vampire’s Curse Island. The vampire is gone, but his curse lives on. Prepare to discover even more secrets of Bram’s castle — if a dangerous vampire hunter doesn’t get there first!

Yikes. Well, the page also shows the store items for members including a count/countess costume, vampire bat PopGum, and garlic breath. They’ll probably be released when Early Access time comes around.
