And does the trick from the first panel actually work?
I think I need to get this game for my niece, then steal her DS. There isn’t any chance it might come out for another platform, is there?
Yes.
And it unlocks a new background for the start screen, even.
This could be the game that finally motivates me to buy a DS.
Pretentious man also works. Pretentious asshole does not.
I’m with you on that. This sounds pretty fun, I can’t believe I haven’t seen and ads for Scribblenauts they’re all for some evil box game that doesn’t look too interesting.
I should point out that ‘dew’ gives you a directed energy weapon.
Oddly, it does not know what a hachimaki is.
I bought this Tuesday. I agree the controls are a bit of a problem, but it is so fun that it makes up for it. Also, I can summon teleport booths, but I can’t actually do anything with them. And it would not let me melt a block of ice with a flamethrower.
My personal method for dealing with sharks:
Wear an invisibility cloak and attack them with a hammer.
You need more patience. Fire takes time.
Oh, by the way, when you interact with a teleporter…
It takes you to what appears to be 5th Cell’s offices. There’s a zombie on the loose. At least that’s what happened when I used it on the tornado level. It might change on different levels.
But I couldn’t get it to interact. I had the same problem with the flamethrower. It wasn’t that it wasn’t melting. I could not get it to interact at all.
Okay, I just retried it and “teleporter” works. I am not sure exactly what I tried before but it was something like “teleport booth” or “teleportation room”.
Firemen have the ability to retrieve cats from far away. This is logical!
I did that on the title screen and did go there the first time, and the second time:
I went to an alien planet with two types of aliens and a broken spaceship.
So glad there’s a thread on this! The sheer creativity involved in (and required to play) this game makes it a delight to talk about and share solutions.
On the knock-down-the-bottles level, I found… accidentally hitting the carnie lady sent her into a rage which took out the lower bottles as she tried to get to me.And my favorite, tho wordy, way to knock out sharks is to glue a bottle of poison to a fish and drop that in the water 
And I haven’t found a use for it yet, but my latest invention came about when I drew in a ‘propeller,’ which dropped to the ground and did nothing. Then I typed ‘engine,’ but the propeller wasn’t naturally attachable. Lastly, I connected the two with a ‘belt’ and suddenly the propeller was spinning at a pretty high RPM.
The puzzles and controls can be a touch frustrating, but I still love this game.
Oh, thank you…I’ve been trying to figure out a way to get past a shark that’s been frustrating the hell out of me - I can keep him from killing me, but not in a way that lets me advance to the Starite…I’ll have to try this one.
My local store doesn’t have it yet!!!
GRRRRRrrrrrrrrrrr
Pretentious Man seems to be like most kinds of Man. For something else, try “Jerk”.
