Sneak Peeks

It’s Mega Post Friday!

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! 😀

Trees, trees, everywhere!

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? 😀

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.

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.
 
 
There are also some screenshots, a desktop wallpaper, and a printout poster!
 
But the release date is still a mystery…
 
Audience Member: A mystery wanted to be solved!
 
Calm down… eventually, the Creators will announce more stuff about this island.
 
BT out!
 
 

Update: Here’s Loud Shark’s Lorax Ad walkthrough!

Shaggy Tornado

*Note: I might not post as much because of school and other things, but I will post whenever I can! 🙂

~~~

V-Day is coming up! What are you going to do? Well, the Creators gave us gifts “From the Bottom of [their] hearts!” Wanna know what? 😀

“The Big Hearted costume is the perfect way to show you care.”

“If your sweetheart needs a little convincing, the Love Potion will hit the spot.”

~~~

AD TIME!

First up is….

Power Rangers Super Samurai!

What you have to do is shoot the bombs to win! The prizes are Super Samurai Mode and Red Ranger outfit! If you need help and more info, here’s LS and SG with a walkthough and picture!

Next ad: The Secret World of Arriety! (You MUST be a girl to play this ad.)

In this ad, you have to collect 10 sugar cubes without getting caught in the beam of the flashlight. Your prizes are Shrink Power and an Arriety Follower! Again, LS with a walkthrough!

~~~

Well, Happy Valentine’s Day! I now leave you with this song:

L is for the way you LOOK at me

O is for the ONLY ONE I see

V is VERY VERY extraordinary

E is EVEN more than anyone that you adore

Love is all that I can give to you
Love is more than just a game for two
Two in love can make it
Take my heart and please don’t break it
Love was made for me and you!

Bonus Items, Membership, S.O.S. Island

Disastrous, Wild & Free

MT

Ahoy, sailors! Members, remember the brilliant Sea Captain costume you received? We’re reluctant to announce that’s coming to an end only one week – Thursday, February 16th. Though, anyone who gets Membership after next Thursday will still be able to get Sonar Power and Fishing Pole, but the Sea Captain costume is only available during the Early Access period.

Yep, non-members, I said it. Only available during the Early Access period. Therefore I am proud to announce that S.O.S. Island is going to be available and free for everyone Thursday, February 16th! Great belated present for Valentine’s Day, huh?

Thanks for reading and may many natural disasters be in your future – on Poptropica. Not literally, that’d be mean.
