Pop Island is a Nintendo DSi video game developed by ODENIS Studio. It costs 500 Nintendo points, and can be downloaded at the DSi Shop. Pop Island is a capture the flag type game. The player's objective is to bring as many flags to their base as possible in a set amount of time, while trying to stop the opposing team from bringing flags to their base. The characters of Pop Island consist of 12 different animals such as a lion with wheels, surfing penguin, a fish, a skateboarding elephant and many others.
A sequel called Pop Island - Paperfield has been launched.
The game is presented in 3rd person. Using the Nintendo DSi's D pad or by touching the bottom screen with the Stylus the player moves around their character to capture flags and return them to their base. The player may shoot firecrackers at opponents in an attempt to pop them away from the player. If the player is hit by a firecracker the player dropps his/her flag (if the player is holding one) and is popped from where they were. There are 3 main types of characters the player can be.
Wheeled: Wheeled characters move quickly on land, but slowly in water
Fish: Fish swim quickly in water but move slowly on land
Flying: Flying characters move at moderate speeds above land or water
Pop Island has received generally good reviews.[2] Maria Montoro from Cheat Code Central says "Five dollars for a game you can share and play with up to eight friends is a small price to pay, especially when it's this fun!"[3]
