- SketchaMPM, on 09/22/2009, -1/+43Some fun things to try:
Write "massive damage"
Write "Communist", then "money"
Write "God", then "athiest"
Write "bunny" twice
Write "gorilla", then "triceratops"
Write "longcat", "ceilingcat", "keyboardcat", "monorailcat"
Write "baby", then "dingo"
Write "God", then "science". The LHC will suck God into a blackhole. Seriously. This game is awesome. - dashdingo, on 09/22/2009, -0/+23Well yeah, you could use the same items for each level, but where's the fun in that?
Also, no ***** some objects aren't in there, they can't program every ***** object known to man. I thought 22,000+ objects was good enough. - fyreboltx, on 09/22/2009, -0/+20I like the game and it's really fun to mess around but I ***** hate the damn controls for Maxwell. I don't know how many times I've accidentally moved Maxwell when I was trying to move a small object (like a rope or grenade). I wish they would've let you use the d-pad to move him...
It's still fun though, making zombies crash a wedding. - Beatlemaniac, on 09/22/2009, -2/+20The controls.
- aurorous, on 09/22/2009, -1/+17That's where imagination comes in handy
- kingofthisnight, on 09/22/2009, -0/+14I will agree with you on the slightly cruddy controls. I found myself falling off cliffs and jumping into water a lot when I didn't mean to.
As for using the same items I can't agree on. I played the first stage way too many times just trying to come up with new and creative ways of getting the star. Which I think thats the point of the game... to be creative. - TallestSkil, on 09/22/2009, -1/+15"Time machine", use it, find a velociraptor, ride it, come back to the present, kill zombies with raptor.
What could be better? - mlvassallo, on 09/22/2009, -0/+12Sambo is the racial slur, Samba is a dance...
- kevinmoore, on 09/22/2009, -0/+12If you're playing the game in advanced mode then you need to think of three different ways to do each thing.
- Treshnell, on 09/22/2009, -0/+11I summoned the loch ness monster to get rid of him, but they ate him :(
So I got mad and called for a shark. Which worked, until he ate me.
So I brought a dolphin to the battle and he killed the shark.
Dolphwin! - vtnerd, on 09/22/2009, -0/+10Only it has nothing to do with racial epithets or anything like that. Joystiq recently contacted 5TH Cell's creative director about the apparent snafu. According to him, "sambo" is an Ecuadorian term for fig leaf gourd. Which looks like this: <insert picture that looks just like the game and almost exactly like a watermelon>
- kingofthisnight, on 09/22/2009, -0/+9Yeah but did you read the explanation for it?
- VarelseSoul, on 09/22/2009, -0/+9Have you tried writing "Shark" and "Laser beam"? It works, but the shark has to be out of water
- mattyboy555, on 09/22/2009, -2/+11I typed in "God" then gave him a shotgun. then had him defend himself against a couple of dinosaurs.
Taught him to say dinosaurs never existed. - MarkOfTheDead, on 09/22/2009, -0/+9"LOLWUT" gives you a giant copy of your character's head that rolls around
"Kraken" - ***** gets real.
"UFO" Lets you fly around and hover in place in the air - SketchaMPM, on 09/22/2009, -0/+9You got that from post 217 on the Scribblenauts forum. In fact, if you type "posttwoseventeen" in the game, it will drop an image of the scene you just described. Seriously.
- kevinmoore, on 09/22/2009, -0/+8The time machine sounds like more fun.
- nugz85, on 09/23/2009, -0/+7i heard you can even call cthulhu
- Treshnell, on 09/22/2009, -0/+7Incomplete, according to the Scribblenauts creators.
- Shepton, on 09/22/2009, -0/+6The controls really do let the game down. It's still amazing for the sheer quantity of its content and the imaginative solutions available for its puzzles, though.
- kevinmoore, on 09/22/2009, -0/+6tacgnol is also in the game
- Cassanova, on 09/22/2009, -0/+5I haven't tried these yet, but heard about them:
- You can make two "clones" of yourself and give one some object and they will fight over it
- "Game of the Year" spawns a copy of Scribblenauts
- A "lawyer" will chase an "ambulance"
- A "ninja" and "pirate" will fight each other - zip000, on 09/22/2009, -0/+5I've been hearing about this game for a while now - it looks like a lot of fun, but sadly I don't have a DS.
- gameboyhippo, on 09/22/2009, -0/+5Yeah, it's unfortunate that the bug exist. But if you want to play it to have fun, I would assume one would try to solve the puzzles without cheating anyway. I look at it like playing solitaire with a real deck of cards. You can cheat, but what's the point.
- Treshnell, on 09/22/2009, -0/+5Supposedly there is a "big announcement" coming from 5th Cell concerning Scribblenauts. Rumors abound about another version (iPhone/Wii).
- Subassy, on 09/24/2009, -0/+4You can make a saddle and ride him too...
- Bloodburn, on 09/22/2009, -0/+4That list was truncated, there are more than 22,000 words.
- captininsanity, on 09/22/2009, -1/+5I thought you were trollin me at longcat, but no joke! Thats amazing!
- TAGline, on 09/22/2009, -1/+5I love this game, its certainly worth buying. That said, there are three annoying issues:
1)Verbs. All the nouns are great, but there are about 5 actions things can do (stick, blow up, attack, fall/rise, store). Its especially annoying with summoned people; if I summon a miner and give him a pick, I would expect him to run around mining stuff.
2) Interface. They populate these levels with characters that have a shield or an emoticon over their head but (as far as I've been able to tell), no way to get a greater insight on what it means. Sometimes you can figure it out, but often there's no real clue as to what they want.
3)Controls. Attaching things with a rope is a nightmare more often than not. Especially when you miss the rope and Maxwell decides to sprint off the cliff to where you tapped. - SketchaMPM, on 09/22/2009, -0/+4Controlling 'Maxwell' can be frustrating but describing a game that features nearly 23,000 usable objects as being "limited" is pretty unreasonable.
- dashdingo, on 09/22/2009, -1/+4The whole list of 22,000+ objects in Scribblenauts:
http://www.rush68.net/u/files/scribfull.txt - kingofthisnight, on 09/22/2009, -1/+4Type in "teleporter" and get sent to an alien planet. There is a space ship there that you can fix.
- bacon_skoda, on 09/22/2009, -0/+3are you saying a wind breaker has no use?
There's a freakin tornado out there. - gameboyhippo, on 09/22/2009, -0/+3You do know that you can trash anything you summon, right?
Step 1: Summon a Ninja Shark
Step 2: Let Ninja Shark eat Piranhas
Step 3: Throw Ninja Shark into the trashbin
Step 4: ???
Step 5: Profit! - Culyt, on 09/22/2009, -0/+3Cthulhu (and some of the other elder races that are hard to spell).
- krets, on 09/22/2009, -1/+4I'm disappointed that when you typed "lithium" a Nirvana song didn't start playing.
- Fleagleman, on 09/22/2009, -0/+3This game has made my commute actually something to look forward to.
- CapeKid, on 09/22/2009, -0/+3I summoned a toaster and dropped it in, that did the job.
- bacon_skoda, on 09/22/2009, -0/+3you get more points if you use different "New" objects.
so play anyway you like. - Fleagleman, on 09/22/2009, -0/+3I was playing Scribblenauts yesterday, and a vampire turned God into a zombie. Wait 'til the Catholics get ahold of that one.
- themastersb, on 09/23/2009, -0/+2Just bought a DS Lite a week ago. Just in time it seems.
- pspmikek, on 09/22/2009, -0/+2Try LOL WUT
- KayinNasaki, on 09/22/2009, -1/+3Theres just not enough 'utility' items. Theres a huge array of items, but very few are useful in any way and the soddy physics system doesn't help. The game is really cool and unique, but I burned out of it faster, because like Icy, I eventually just kept going back to my old standbys. Rope, flying and a handful of other objects is all I needed and were, for the most part, the 'fun' objects. Every time I try and be extra clever, the game just doesn't support it. 22,000 sounds impressive, but there are maybe 20 or so 'verbs' describing what things can actually do. Thats one function per 1,000 items.
For Scribblenauts 2 I'd like them to just add a small handful of 'missing' objects, but more importantly, try and make the objects different and have more utility. I would have loved to have stuff like a real crane or chain crank or stuff to make real, reliable, physics solutions. When I got to the ramp challenge and couldn't add a rocket booster to my skateboard to go farther, I was extremely disappointed.So gimme some jet engines too.
So yeah again, the game is awesome still, but it sort of suffers because of it's scope in some ways. - TAGline, on 09/22/2009, -0/+2It's sad that there isn't a PC version coming (at least not announced). This is the perfect type of game to allow uploading videos and sharing created maps. Half the fun of making a puzzle on the generator is lost when you already know how to do it.
- kingofthisnight, on 09/22/2009, -1/+3(From the article)
I know we've done a bunch of stuff on Scribblenauts lately, but what is all this recent hubbub concerning the game being racist? If you don't know, someone got the bright idea to type in "sambo" as a word on Scribblenauts and the result was something that looks like a watermelon. See?
Only it has nothing to do with racial epithets or anything like that. Joystiq recently contacted 5TH Cell's creative director about the apparent snafu. According to him, "sambo" is an Ecuadorian term for fig leaf gourd. Which looks like this:
(The picture is of a gourd that looks exactly like a watermelon.) - bacon_skoda, on 09/22/2009, -0/+2some of the puzzles are pretty hard. even on level 1.
and if that wasn't hard enough, you can do a challenge where to have to solve it in 3 different ways. oh and it's timed. - retro7, on 09/22/2009, -0/+2Try "Terrorist" and "building".
- gameboyhippo, on 09/22/2009, -0/+2My favorite objects are "Reindeer" and "fly swatter". With Reindeer, you can fly just about anywhere. Fly swatter allows you to kill just about anything. Try it to destroy a boulder, tree, person, etc...
- Cassanova, on 09/22/2009, -0/+2Reindeer! That's a good one. I just found out about "flying broom", "rocket boots", and "magic carpet". Now I got some different transportation over the usual "wings" and "helibackpack" etc.
- dazjlord, on 09/22/2009, -1/+3Game of the Year - spawns a ds cart with Maxwell's face on.
Lawyer - Does indeed chase the ambulance when it is driven.
Ninja vs Pirate - In a best out of three, the pirate won :) -
