Club Penguin Reviewed By You: Coins For Change

Happy77 has recently created a new Reviewed By You post on the Club Penguin Community Blog.  In the last Reviewed By You, they asked you your favorite way to save up coins on Club Penguin. Take a look.

I like to save coins by being a tour guide and secret agent! It feels good because those jobs mean helping penguins and the money I get from them helps even more people world wide! I also like playing games like connect four and mancala because I get to meet all kinds of new friends and that means not only am I earning money to donate, but the person I’m playing with is too!

Nice answer, Blazer2529!

Speaking of coins and donating… Earlier this month Billybob announced the results of Coins For Change. Thanks to your support, we’ve donated $620,000 to help build safe places like libraries, schools and playgrounds for kids. So for this week’s Reviewed by You, we want to know… If you could send a message to the kids we’re supporting through Coins For Change, what would you say?

 

This is a very good answer from Blazer2529.  The best way I earn coins around Club Penguin is by playing all of the mini games.  What do you think about this?  Let us know by leaing a comment.

Reviewed By You: Puffle Hats!

Hello Penguins!

In our last Reviewed by You post, we asked you for your best Puffle Launch tips and tricks. We asked a game designer to pick his favorite trick from the comments. Here are a couple different tips you suggested: 

Shadow1o12 said: 

My advice would be if you see the cannon pointing up and nothing is there go up it. I did it once. I got lots of coins doing that and thats my advice for you. Isn't it awesome! So i do it all the time now. Waddle over to the pet shop and do it. Waddle on CP.

Remember, During a boss level, you usually have to defeat a flying machine. Instead of hitting it from the bottom or the sides, you hit it from the top so gravity pulls your puffle down and allows you to do two or even three or even four hits in a row! 

Thanks for sharing all the great Puffle Launch tricks!

For this Reviewed by You, we want to celebrate Halloween and Puffle Hats... We want you to describe the freakiest, strangest, zaniest Halloween-themed puffle hat you could possibly imagine!

Describe your creation in a comment below. Then next week, we'll randomly pick one of your inventions and a Club Penguin artist will draw it here on the blog!

Try to keep your comment as short as possible (50-75 words is best.) Can't wait to read all your comments!

Until then... Waddle On!

Puffle Update This Thursday!

Greetings Penguins!

Happy77 here. Those of you that saw Billybob's video blog may remember that he mentioned an updated Puffle experience. Guess what? It's coming this Thursday!

I wanted to get you the inside scoop, so I asked a programmer a few questions about the new improvements:

What improvements has the team made to the puffle experience?

The biggest thing is that we've added stat bars back. Other than that we've added notifications and puffle emotes. If your puffle needs something, a little notification will pop up in-world to let you know you need to take care of your puffle. And if you go to your igloo and your puffle really needs your attention, a little icon bubble will appear over his/her head to let you know what to do.

What's your favorite thing that's coming out this week?

Stat bars! They really help you understand how different items affect your puffles and what you need to do to keep them happy. They work way better than the original stat bars.

A few people have asked me why penguins are bigger in igloos now. Why are they bigger in igloos?

When we updated the igloo puffle art we noticed that the igloo puffles had really grown in relation to penguins. In fact, they were almost the same size as their penguin owners! It didn't look right, so we decided to make the penguins a little bigger to match the new puffle size. We also think that an igloo is a penguin's home, so it should feel a little cozier than being outside in the world. Having bigger penguins seemed to help this.

What's your favorite puffle hat? ;)

The sombrero hat, it looks pretty funny!

Hope that was helpful! I'm really excited about the new puffle stat bars. Let me know what you're most excited about in the comments below!

Waddle On! :)
