Beeline has just released the massive 1.1.7 update for Smurfs’ Village for Apple iOs Devices (iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch), and will follow up Android market in couple of days although no exact date was given.  This is the largest update for the game since it debuted in 2010. Judging by the preview screenshots released this week; and preliminarily tests we run today, players should expect a lot of additional content and welcomed changes. Those users who’ve been praying for the snow in their village to disappear will finally get their wish.  It’s all about beach fun this time around. An extension along the shoreline will add an island tropical feel to the game. A boat building feature, ship dock, rafts, and the infamous S.S. Smurf II from the third season of the cartoon will become regular fixtures of the game.

Several new characters including Slouchy Smurfling, Sassette, and Captain Dreamy Smurf were added.  If you wonder how to find the island you need first to reach at least level 19 onwards and  you need to have  the beach. After couple of quests  Papa Smurf will ask you to send two smurfs to the forest where they will  find the S. S.  Smurf II Ship and Captain Dreamy. Captain Dreamy Smurf will be making the biggest impact on the game. He’s the captain of the S.S. Smurf II ship. After handy miner smurfs get the compass for Captin Dreamy   you will get the Ship ready in the dock and the adventure will start.  You will be able to get to the island by tapping on the ship papa smurf and Brainy will follow Dreamy smurf  in his adventure all the time .

  Slouchy Smurf, who’s notorious for his less than enthused laid back attitude he is available in the shop and  costs 2000 coins.  Sassette is the second female smurf to join the village. She was created from the same enchanted formula Gargamel used to form Smurfette, she is also available in the shop but it costs 30 smurfberries. These extra characters make the game feel more like the original series. Tons of cool décor items, four new levels, and sea turtles, gecko,  were also added. Larger more decorative mushrooms, palm trees, tall red rose vines, green lifesavers, straw umbrellas, blankets, pink seashells, fountains, hammocks, sand buckets, colored bamboo fences, outhouses, beach balls, and mushroom huts are just some of the items which are also available in this update.

Exotic crops like honeydew melons, canary yellow melons, and eggplant will be available as well. Players have plenty to look forward to in this upcoming update. Games are another aspect they may be incorporated for recreational activities along the beach. Hopscotch outlines and toys can be seen in grassy patches indicating an upcoming vacation or kid theme in the works. The shoreline will definitely be busy this season.

Marina the mermaid

Depicted on the left in one of the screenshots we  received  it from one of our  fans, which shows  the mysterious mermaid  (known as Marina “Handy’s Sweetheart”)  surrounded by sea boulders. This functional character will probably add as an attraction (Minigame)  to the island or as another way for players earn experience and coins. A diving kit is also added next to the mermaid. We will update the mermaid section shortly, please check it frequently.

Bugs you may encounter in 1.1.7  update

the Smurfs village App seems to work smoothly and faster  than before for Apple iOs devices (iPhone, iPad, iTouch). Yet minor bugs are already detected  mainly:

• with Painter minigame where the colors look blotchy with bad resolution, and you  always you paints  will be rated  poor so you will get 0 XP and you wont able to unlock any color.
• In order to travel in the S. S. Smurf ship you need to tap many times or at least you need to tap firmly in order to get the dialog windows to ask you if you would like to go  to the island.
• If you buy a land extension in the island, you wont be able to Zoom in on items implemented the extension area.
