Puffer Popper, Cascade and Water Words aren’t without their merits. The next cheapest island is Big Beach Island, and completing that unlocks Parasail, an easy action game where you guide a parasailing monkey through a brief level as he collects bananas. All you do is pick which shell the pearl is under, betting more and more money each time. Completing your first island, Outset Island, unlocks Shell Game. If you want other games, like Sudoku, you have to improve your island.īut you don’t even get to unlock games like Sudoku and Mahjong right away. Instead, you start with Puffer Popper (a Zuma/Luxor clone), Coco Bowl (bowling), Jungle Jump, Solitaire, Water Words (Boggle-esque) and Cascade (match-3). You don’t even get Sudoku or Mahjong initially, two titles listed on the back of the box. But, you don’t get all 11 games right away. The game proclaims, “11 games in one!” on the front cover. My biggest qualm with Tropix is the dreaded unlocking. Once an island meets the three criteria, you get a new game and can work on saving up for your next island. You then spend sand dollars on island accouterments to make it comfortable, filled with food and fun. This is accomplished by playing the games available to you to earn sand dollars. You start out with five games, and are tasked with buying and building up islands to unlock more. While most casual mini-game collections don’t really have a goal, besides just playing the games for fun while waiting for a bus or something, Tropix does. You may want to shop around before settling on it though. If you don’t mind playing average casual games and are looking for a tropical-themed mini-game collection, Tropix provides another option. Unlike Sally’s Salon, this port didn’t turn out too well, and yielded an overpriced collection of games we’ve played before. Like Sally’s Salon, it is a DS port of a RealArcade title.
