All monsters that appear on a certain Island. The combination to breed Epic Thumpies is different for each island.Īvailability For a list of when this monster has been available, see: Breeding AvailabilityĮpic Thumpies, like all Epic Naturals are only available for breeding and/or buying some of the time during special events. Also note, that unlike their Common and Rare counterparts, Epic Monsters cannot breed.Įpic Thumpies is only available for breeding (or buying) during limited time events. Although an Epic Monster, Epic Thumpies still does not have high coin production. By default, its breeding time is 1 day and 9 hours long. When available, it is best obtained by breeding, which the combination varies from island to island. As an Epic Monster, it is only available at select times. It was added on October 10th, 2018 during the 2.2.2 6th Anniversary update. If you enjoy rhythm games at all, you really need to give Thumpies a spin.Epic Thumpies is a triple-element Epic Monster. The thread in our forums is filled with people who are leaving absolutely glowing reviews of the game, and I find myself in agreement with all of them. Thumpies is an amazingly creative game, and thanks to the multiple difficulty levels should be approachable enough for kids and challenging enough for adults. When a song is complete, you’re scored on your accuracy, and the next song (or songs) leading up the branches of the level select tree is unlocked. When the meter is full, the Thumpies cheer, the portion of the song you just completed where you were tapping out the bass beat merges with the rest background music, and you begin the next section of the song which might have you tapping out some crazy vocals to add. The meter increases when you successfully tap in time with the beat, and decreases when you miss a beat. As soon as they appear on screen you need to try to tap them because if one of the Thumpies flies by them they will munch the butterfly right out of the air.Ĭompleting each section of the song requires you to fill the meter at the top of the screen. On top of this, there are additional Thumpies that can be unlocked by collecting and saving up differently colored butterflies that will be floating around as you’re tapping out your beat. If you’re like me and not particularly musically minded, juggling all these Thumpies in the air to the beat of the song (especially when Thumpies are landing on half-beats) can be deceptively difficult. This is simple enough when there is only one spherical creature bopping around the screen, but as the songs increase in difficulty, even more pads for the Thumpies to land on are introduced along with additional Thumpies you will need to manage at once. The entire game is dripping in whimsical charm between the sprawling tree that makes up the level select menu, butterflies fluttering around everywhere, and even the backgrounds of each level that pulse with the beat of the music.Īfter selecting one of the unlocked songs (of which there are 16 in total) and then choosing one of three difficulties, the Thumpies will then fall from the sky to bounce on top of tree stumps and mushrooms and you must tap the screen when and where they land. THUMPIES RARE MOVIE
The most immediately noticeable thing about Thumpies is the art style which seems to be this odd combination of Where the Wild Things Are, the Madballs toys from the 80’s, and the Fire Gang from the movie Labyrinth. Crazy graphics combine with an interesting gameplay mechanic where each level has you tapping out beats that layer on top of each other until you’ve eventually formed a fairly complex song.
It takes a lot to stand out amongst the crowded rhythm game section of the App Store (or any section of the App Store, really) but Big Blue Bubble’s Thumpies manages to easily set it self apart.
