The game is the first of its kind and has won numerous awards, such as "Best New Idea" by Nintendo Power. Nintendo Power gave the game a 9/10, saying the pure innovation far exceeds the problems. IGN gave the game an 8.7/10, praising the unique ideas but criticizing the controls. Scribblenauts recieved very good reviews. This lets them create an object using simple 3D geometric shapes so they didn't need to draw sprites and animations for everything, and assign properties that decide how the object acts in the game when reacting with different things. He advanced his idea into what Scribblenauts is now, in which you write a word and use the object that you created to solve puzzles.Ī total of 15 people worked on the game, with 5 of them spending six months going through a dictionary and creating the Objectnaut, a database of objects.

He originally wanted to make a game where the player wrote a sentence and it appeared on screen, but thought it was too dull. Scribblenauts was thought up by Jeremiah. This approach is rather limited, but levels can be uploaded and downloaded online (it requires friend codes and DS Wireless Communication). Objects can be programmed to interact in a way with only 1 other object (i.e ' This object eats.). The player takes the layout of a levels from the Challenge Mode, then creates objects and the Starite. Maxwell can use these Ollars to buy music, avatars and new areas.Īnother gameplay mode in Scribblenauts is the ability to create custom levels. After completing a level, Maxwell receives Ollars, the game's currency. Puzzle levels require objects to be made in order to make the Starite appear, and Action levels require Maxwell to just get to the Starite.

The main gameplay mode, Challenge Mode, has 240 levels and Starites, split evenly between Action and Puzzle levels. Maxwell, the hero, moves with the stylus and the camera with D-pad and A B X Y buttons. The only thing that limits creativity is the Par System (though it can be nullified with some glitches) and ethnic, vulgar, copyrighted, or ESRB-restricted words. When the player writes an object into his journal/notebook, the object will appear on the screen. Scribblenauts has a gameplay completely unique to it and its successors. The bottom screen shows Maxwell, using a helicopter and rope to rescue an injured woman during one of the puzzle levels. The top screen displays an image of the level and various indicators. Its sequel and successor, Super Scribblenauts introduces adjectives, a new control scheme involving the D-pad, and expanded level creator. Thousands upon thousands of items are available in the game, and they can be automatically summoned by typing them in Maxwell's Notebook via the keyboard or writing it out, which was cut out for the later games due to the difficulty of such. The game grants the player the ability to summon any object and use it to solve puzzles. The Japanese version adds a few new objects (like Alucard), as well as improving the controls so Maxwell stops when the stylus is released. Konami released the game in Japan under the name Flash Puzzle: Maxwell's Mysterious Notebook (ヒラメキパズル マックスウェルの不思議なノート, Hirameki Pazuru: Makkusuueru no Fushigi na Nōto) on January 27, 2011.
