Mystery Train Island, Sneak Peeks

A new minigame for Mystery Train?

It’s EP here with another new post. This one is actually a sneak peek, quite exciting! The creators have began to get us pumped up about the new islands coming. In the last post, there was a new trailer about a “legend coming,” possibly to do with Mystery Train Island. I’d say I’m pretty warmed up about this.

New minigame? I bet it has something to do with quickly taking the customers’ orders. Will this be a pre-island game like Shrink Shot? Or will it be a minigame actually in the island?

I’m thinking it will be a pre-release game, because if you look closely and examine the picture, you’ll actually see a gold sign that says “Mystery Train Island, coming soon” which just proves it will be one of those minigames like Shrink Shot released before the island is actually out.

EP out!

Sneak Peeks

Balloon boy on Shrink Ray Island?

The title may say it all, but that’s not true. Hi, everyone, it’s Elmopwns here to cover some a new post I missed. This one dates back a few days ago to a sneak peek of a boy holding a Shrink Ray Island balloon.

Balloon Boy returns?

 

Not exactly. But don’t be surprised if you see more and more Poptropicans toting around this balloon in the days to come.

 
 
Remember balloon boy? Veteran players might remember on Counterfiet Island when Poptropica’s parody of the balloon boy took to the air…no, not in a giant one…in a helium balloon smaller than someone’s head. As far as we know, the poor kid is still up there. Imagine flying thousands of feet above the ground…holding onto a baloon.
Impressive isn’t it? I’m pretty sure the FAA is gonna be in some kind of trouble. A first look at this image from the creators blog might have gamers confused. Is that balloon boy? Nice try, but unfortunately no :(. This post is actually just showing a poptropican holding a baloon to advertise the upcoming Shrink Ray Island with the Shrink Ray gun on it, the logo of the island.So sorry balloon boy fans…he hasn’t landed yet :/. Hopefully the creators set him down on some island. These balloons are currently being spread around Poptropica! They do not come from the store, so my guess is a creator spread it! Customize to get your own Shrink Ray balloon!
 
 
Quick note:
There’s a new costume in the Poptropica Store! To kick off the start of summer coming VERY soon for most of us, the creators of Poptropica have released a beach volleyball costume! Can’t wait for Summer vacation when the fun begins. :). what about you guys? Share your thoughts in the comments below!
 
Elmo Pwns out!

Yep, about getting zapped into miniature sizes, there’s usually an evil villain, too… there always is. But enough about the upcoming island. I think most of you on this blog have heard about the new island. Well to get us all frizzled and hyped up about it, the Creators are releasing a new game based off of it!

CAPTAIN CRAWFISH

Poptropicans, member and free to play alike, can now travel the map via the blimp to play this awesome game ^^. Once arriving at the sneak peak, the main menu of the game will give you some instructions. The main objective is to literally cause as MUCH mayhem and destruction as you can by being fired while you are in miniature size!…yes….FINALLY…destruction…except on a smaller scale.

There are a number of things you can hit, this is the good part. You can get more points by hitting the point balls. But there are also many other things to hit and recieve points! You can also hit a miniature version of the blimp, a car for a ride inside, and arrow shaped balls that change your direction. These are especially helpful if you’re looking for a new area to score points in.

But that’s not all of it. I’ve taken the time to make a list of things you can hit below. And please not, most of the things you bump into will let you receive prizes:

  • Car to reach new areas
  • Crayons for a new item
  • Balloon to get a shrink ray prize!
  • Blimp for extra points
  • Soda bottle for special prize
  • Bubble gum for a new flavor to chew!
  • Point balls for points
  • Arrows to change direction.

So it appears that you can really get a lot from this game…but…of course, it takes much work if you want all of these prizes…maybe even more than an hour or so! Many of the prizes are moving or located in tricky spots. It is also worth to be mentioned that the snow globe prize is strictly a members only… awww, you take all the fun out creators :(.

The game is also designed in a system of ranks. You get a new costume for each new rank that are all unique. For getting a certain amount of points, the costume will be awarded. The costumes are mainly hats…they are:

  • hard helmet
  • bounce ball
  • propeller hat (members only)
  • spiked hard helmet (members only)
  • spiked bounce ball (members only)

As the ranks progess, they get harder and harder to achieve because of the amount of points. If you want prizes, you should stick to hitting to the objects like soda bottles or snow globes. If you want the costumes for hats, then things like the blimp and point balls for definitely for you.

And finally, have fun, everyone… may the force be with you… 😀

Below is a list of prizes you can receive. The Creators added lots of goodies this time!

  • crayons
  • snow globe (members only!)
  • new type of gum(grape)
  • soda bottle
  • shrink ray prize
  • hard helmet
  • spiked hard helmet
  • bounce helmet
  • spiked bounce helmet
  • propeller hat

Good luck, everyone!

Before I disappear, I’d like to thank anyone reading this as well as the entire community on this blog! Thanks for reading this and not questioning my sanity… I hope!

Reality TV Island, Sneak Peeks

Not Boar-ing

Hey people!  Green Seal here. 😀 There’s a new post on the Poptropica Creator’s Blog, posted by Hazmat Hermit (Thanks for the update, PerfectStorm57!):

Getting Boar-ed?

As a hermit I try to avoid meeting people but sometimes it’s hard to find a place to be alone. When I reached this island in the middle of the ocean, I figured I was the only person around for miles. I soon realized this place is full of some of the craziest people I’ve ever seen! Why would anyone run around with a jar of water on their head? It seems dangerous, especially when there’s an angry boar out to get you. I’m going to monitor the situation and see what I can find out.

0_o That boar is.. uh, creepy-looking.  This post is probably a sneak peek of Reality TV.  That jar looks about the same size as that poptropican. 0_o How can she carry that?  Well, remember in the when they said you will be competing or something like that?  This race is probably one of the things you will compete in, and I have to say that I would not like to be chased by a boar with a jar the size of me. xD

By the way, news in the Poptropica Help Forums say that the PHF has been featured in TV!  Could this be true? 0_o Check this thread for more info: http://thephf.com/forums/showthread.php?518-OMG-the-PHF-was-on-TV!!!!!!

This is all for now! 😀

Boo Updates

Hello all, it’s been too long. For everyone new that does not know me i’m Codien the graphics guy here at the PHB.
I’ve been having exams and too much work to focus on this site, but don’t worry i’m off school in only 2 more days, then you will have me all to yourselves for as long as you want. Just don’t kill me.

_

First update i would like to announce is the new Poptropica Help Blog header. This was created lovingly by me in memory of my old headers 😦 [Read what happened at my blog]. I hope you all like it. Give me feedback and tell me what i could add or improve. I WUV BLUE! ❤

[booChar.png]

Over at the PCB they posted a new post about the Boo costume, obtained at the advertisement; ‘Monsters Inc’. I’m sure all of you guys already knew this and are already scaring monsters with your cute smile and costume. “Mike Wasalski!”

A third thing to add to this small yet charming post is a small secret brewing in the Poptropica underground world. The creators are busily making a new thing that not even i can talk about!
All i can say is it involves a profile and a ranking system and different options of what food you like, favorite color, how many games you’ve won, and thats pretty much everything there doing.

But don’t panic! BOO! They are going to release Reality TV island soon. All will they. *scary music play*
