Not just by your own doing but by the collective gaming community that indulges in this winning title. Each level feels more like a vignette and the beauty of Scribblenauts is actually the sum of all those short stories. There is never a reason given why Maxwell wants or needs to collect the Starites, you just do, but that isn’t a negative aspect as you might think. What is innovative about Scribblenauts is the fact there isn’t a story given to you but you provide one. The strongest element of Scribblenauts is its story telling power. You can keep playing the game and unfolding tiny stories within each level. However, at no point do you feel tricked into playing one method over another. It was a smart move to reign in the free-form nature of the game a hair so that there is a reward to using cleaver methods versus always setting up Rube Goldberg devices. The fewer items you use, the more “ollars” you make toward unlocking the next stages. The progression is dependent on you intelligently completing a level quickly and below the “par” of item use. That isn’t to say that Scribblenauts is all loosey-goosey there is some structure to the game. You can look at the same puzzle a thousand different ways and you are only limited by the depth of your vocabulary to provide solutions. You are given free range to chart your own course in Scribblenauts and dream up wonderful concoctions that elicit a childlike joy when your plan works and you get your Starite reward. Scribblenauts is a lot like a cardboard box in that respect.
A cardboard box is a blank slate and can be anything that you imagine.
While a toy might be fancy and wonderful, it limits the imagination to its specific function. Give a kid an expensive toy and they will play with the cardboard box the toy comes in. If you have a large vocabulary you’ll be putting it to the test to find elegant or extravagant answers to the puzzles questions. Whereas most puzzle games adhere to strict rules and concrete methods, Scribblenauts is more about using your imagination and creativity to play in the world’s first sandbox style puzzle game. It comes in handy as you collect “Starites” and progress through the over 100 puzzles. You play as Maxwell, a boy who has the power to summon anything he writes. Scribblenauts is a puzzle game where everything and nothing can be the answer.
