Super Scribblenauts is one of those games where you realize halfway through that you’ve been typing "giant flaming taco" into a DS stylus for 20 minutes and it somehow makes perfect sense. The whole gimmick is typing any object you can imagine—seriously, anything—and watching it plop into the world to solve puzzles. Need to reach a high ledge? Summon a ladder, or a jetpack, or a giraffe wearing stilts. Stuck on a "make this guy happy" quest? Try giving him a puppy. Or a million dollars. Or a puppy holding a million dollars.
At first I kept it simple (keys for doors, ropes for climbing), but after seeing a YouTube clip of someone beating a level by spawning Cthulhu, I went wild. The physics get janky sometimes—ever seen a vampire and a lawnmower team up?—but that’s part of the charm. It’s like having a sandbox where the only limit is your vocabulary (and the game’s iffy British spelling recognition).
If you ever played the original Scribblenauts and wished the word list was even crazier, this is basically that but with adjectives. Now excuse me while I go trap a yeti in a cage made of bubblegum.
