2 days left in Header Contest!

Dec30

That’s right, folks; there’s only today and tomorrow to finish up your headers for Fierce Sky’s first ever header contest! If you are skilled at creating graphics or headers, make sure that you make one for this blog, and email it to fiercesky@yahoo.com by January 1st! If you want to participate in this contest and haven’t already, hurry up! There’s only 2 days to do it! Sorry about the lack of news lately; there really hasn’t been much to report on. I already posted a walkthrough to Counterfeit Island , so if you need help with that, get over there, and you’ll have no problem finishing Counterfeit Island. If you didn’t get an Early Access code yet, do yourself a favor and wait until January 4th, the day of release for Counterfeit, to look at that. It’s a great island, and I’d hate to see that it’s my fault that you already know its plot. So, I think that just about wraps it up for now, so, until next time, -Fierce Sky

Poptropica Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs Returns

Dec29

There’s a new installment of the Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs mission in Poptropica. This September, there was an advertisement mission for the release of the movie in theaters. Now the movie is coming out on DVD and Blu Ray so there’s another advertisement. The mission is new and so are the rewards. Your Poptropica character needs to be between 6 and 11 years to see the mission, which is in the Main Street area of some of the islands (try Super Power island). This advertisement mission is very quick and easy to do. To start, go inside the building and talk to Flint. He’s the guy with the messy brown hair and wearing the white lab coat. He’ll tell you to take the helicopter to retrieve his invention on top of an ice cream mountain. The helicopter is located above you and to the left. Just jump up on the platforms (or fly if you have that super power!) and you’ll see it. Click on the helicopter to be transported away to ice cream mountain. Then all you need to do is jump up and get the invention. Then jump down and click on the pink spoon. Next a mini-game will launch where you need to avoid falling food and jump over food obstacles on the slopes of ice cream mountain while you zoom down using the pink spoon as a sled. You need to survive for 60 seconds and have three lives. The rewards for completing the mission are two new costumes, the Sugar Cone Outfit and the Spaghetti Outfit. The spaghetti outfit in Poptropica The sugar cone outfit in Poptropica. Here’s the full walkthrough in video:

Spy Next Door Walkthrough

Dec29

There are two new advertisement missions available this week on Poptropica. One is for the upcoming movie, The Spy Next Door . You need to be between the ages of 6-11 to see this mission and you’ll find it on Main Street in the first few islands, like Early Poptropica and Shark Tooth Island. This is a simple timed mission where you have to rescue several kids and a pig and then set some traps for spies who are about to invade the house. Yes, you read that right. You have to save a pig. This is a pretty easy mission to do. Go inside the mission and talk to the kid standing just inside. He’s the babysitter and he needs your help. Then you can click on the Start button to begin and you’ll have 60 seconds. Head to the right and set the trap on the TV. To set the trap, click on the TV and hold the mouse button down until the progress bar fills up completely. Then run to the right and get the first kid, who’s over in the kitchen. Now just make your way up the different staircases and set the remaining two traps and find the other kids. Oh, and the pig! The video walkthrough here shows you exactly where to find everyone and set up the traps. The rewards for completing the mission are a pass that gets you into a special spy room. There isn’t much to do there besides watch a trailer for the movie. Hmmm, I guess that’s exactly what they want us to do! LOL. The other item you get is pretty cool. It’s a flamethrower. You can hold it and then it shoots a little bit of flame when you press the spacebar.

Counterfeit Island Updates Thread

Dec23

Hello Poptropicans, So, I’ve managed to get my hands on a Counterfeit Island Early Access Pass, so that means I’m going through the island. I’ll post some screenshots, and will work on a walkthrough as I progress through it. I will be constantly editing this thread, so constantly check it for new stuff. By the way, all the times I mention are in the EST time zone. If you are in Pacific time, add 3 hours, Mountain time, add 2, and Central, add 1. Google up your time zone if you’re not sure about it. 12/23/09, 8:47 pm That picture above is the alternate account I am using for this island, Grumpy Panda. Panda is in front of the museum next to the police chief, at the beginning of Counterfeit Island. 12/23/09, 9:05 pm Upon being denied any access to the museum, I had some fun with a paint tool in the city. Fierce Sky was here 12/23/09, 9:09 pm This mime lady’s making creepy gestures at me downtown. I’m a little scared, despite my glued-on smile. 12/23/09, 9:13 pm Creepy clown AAH, CLOWN! This clown is standing on the roof of a place called “Bobo’s Clown Store”. If this were real life, I’d never go in a clown store at all, let alone one with a clown standing on the roof of it… 12/23/09, 9:18 pm A French Tour Guide Remember that mysterious Counterfeit Island character who nobody could figure out what role she played? Turns out she isn’t a worker or exchange student. She’s a French tour guide, offering a tour of the city. Too bad all the tickets are sold out. 12/23/09, 9:56 pm I’ve posted a walkthrough of the island for all your viewing pleasure. To get to it, you can either click the link at the top of this page, or click here . I might post a few more screens, but I’d really like to actually play it for myself. It’s kind of hard to do that with the posting of the pictures and walkthrough.

Mysteries of the Construction Guy and Balloon Boy

Dec22

Update: OK, thank you to everyone in the comments who points out that Construction Guy does appear in Counterfeit Island. He’s blocks the way to certain parts of the island when night comes. I must have missed him. And there’s one new update to Balloon Boy. You can see him in the background when you’re on the Scooter chase sequence (see the screenshot below). Go, Balloon Boy, go! A lot of people are writing comments asking what happened to the Construction Guy in Counterfeit Island . If you remember back in November, the creators posted some sneak peek screenshots of characters we would meet in Counterfeit Island. The first turned out to be the security guard up in the museum security office. The third is the woman who leads the tour of the underground tunnels. But the guy in the middle, who is wearing coveralls and a construction helmet, doesn’t seem to appear anywhere on the island. Did we miss him or did he get dropped from the island before it was released? Have you seen him on Counterfeit Island? If so, post in the comments! Many people are also asking what happens to Balloon Boy. When you give him a green balloon, he takes off in the air. If you don’t have access to Counterfeit Island yet, you can see him at about one minute into Part 1 of my Counterfeit Island Walkthrough video. This is a joke by the Poptropica Creators that references the big Balloon Boy hoax from October when everyone thought a young boy from Colorado was trapped inside a giant weather balloon that had taken off from his parent’s backyard. In Counterfeit Island’s joke version, we see little Balloon Boy fly off into the air but never return. You can watch the TV in the Web Cafe and see scenes of him flying away. But what will happen to poor little Balloon Boy in Poptropica? Will we ever see him again? We need answers! Save Balloon Boy! We need to know he is safe! Balloon Boy spotted during Scooter ride
