5th Cell’s Scribblenauts is getting boatloads of attention after its appearance at this years E3, and deservedly so. The premise is simple: you play as Maxwell, a child sporting a pair of headphones and “Rooster Hat”, and you have to solve puzzles using words. After typing in the desired word it will appear on your screen, available for use to solve the puzzle at hand. Afterwards, you’re awarded points and achievements according to how you figured it out. For example, if your character is hungry and you simply use the word “cheese”, you’ll pass, but “hamburger” would net your more points for creativity. Simply put, the more inventive you are, the more you’re rewarded.
The vocabulary is said to be deep, with the developer going as far as saying, “People won’t write half the things that exist in this game…” The video above shows Scribblenauts in action, displaying its unique gameplay. I mean, where else would you be able to see Kraken and God duke it out?
