Hello, and sorry for the late post -- I've been a bit busy on vacation, but I should be back on track for this week. First and most exciting of all, there's a new thing going on this month on Poptropica: the Pop-In Prize. This is an item that you get by entering a promo code, usually credits, and the code/prize changes daily, so you get rewarded for logging in every day. Now, this system isn't unique by any means, but it's still interesting to see on Poptropica, and who knows, it might actually increase its pop-ularity (I'm so sorry). |
And now, there's some exciting news about the new Poptropica app update. The multiplayer game Balloons is now available in common rooms on the app! In case you're not familiar with it, it's sort of like a vertically inverted Connect 4 which you play with other Poptropicans. (Note the clever reference to Counterfeit Island's Balloon Boy on the start screen.) And that's not all... |
Chatting has also come to the app, and it's a little bit more sophisticated than the desktop version. The important difference is that when you try to chat with someone, you first choose between Greetings, Compliments, and Questions. Then, as before, you choose from three randomized options for each category. Next, the other person can reply. The responses are also tailored to the place you are right now, for example, the Arcade in the home world. Personally, I find this a refreshing and long-awaited change to the basic chatting in Poptropica. |
Last but not least, before I go, Poptropica has put up a help page for issues with the Flash Player. Maybe this means that it's a common enough issue that it needs a FAQ page. Anyway, if you're having trouble with Poptropica, it might be worth your time to go check it out before asking for help. |
