5th Cell, makers of DS platformer Drawn to Life, have announced an incredible looking new game called Scribblenauts.

that looks insane, also my god that's a long time to wait. i want it now, never heard of drawn to life before, may have to check it out

looks pretty sweet..

I think its a great idea for a game. Especially as it will get kids learning more as well, not only how to problem solve with whats around them but what they will need as well and then to be able to write it down to get it. Cleaver concept imo. Just one problem though.... Dyslexics like me will get our worms middled up and will fail.... oh well here's hoping for spellcheck

How on earth do they do that? There can't be that many animations they can use. For example, I doubt writing 'cherrypicker' or 'trampoline' will let you use one.

All part of the puzzle, though. I can imagine the puzzles become increasingly harder, rather like the progression in Portal. And talking of Portal, this reminds me of the same 'wow' I felt when I saw that for the first time. What a great idea

You never know, they're tiny sprites, I bet you could rattle off a whole bunch of things, coded and animated, in a single day.

damnit, now I wanna buy a DS...

SlickGnome · 8th Dec 2008, 14:45

That looks pretty cool, might have to pick that up

My mind, she has been blown!

That might convince be to get a DS

Too bad it's not truly open-ended, although that could lead to some fairly unsavory things. I imagine a good chunk of the internet would get a kick out of using a ten-foot....er, pole to get an object out of a tree.

Me, I'd write "jetpack", followed closely by "bazooka" and "gravity gun".

that looks fun... i might get a DS soon....

I'll be having some of that thanking you so very much! Looks awesome - like Professor Leyton, but instead of finding things to use to retrieve something, you write the thing you need! Awesome concept. Lets just hope the execution is as good as the trailer.
