seriously, this is a fun game. for the first version of a somewhat revolutionary game, it plays pretty well. for those of you who don't know... it's a pretty open-ended puzzle game. you have a puzzle to solve, and you solve it by typing in words. e.g. you need a bike, just type in "bike" and a bike will pop up. there's always more than one way to solve it (in fact, every level comes with an additional challenge where you have to solve it 3 more times, but you can't use any object you previously used). you score is based on time and how many objects you used (less the better). so yeah, tons of stuff. cars, whales, particle accelerators, dinosaurs, wrenches, guns, etc. it's pretty addictive, and i haven't seen something this unique since... katamari damacy. and much like KD, i fear it might become an over-milked franchise after another 2 versions or so. that said, there's a few niggles i have. first, obviously, the limited vocabulary. there's tons of stuff in there... about 75% of the time, if i think of an object and type it in, it's there, even when i'm being as random as i can (it has Cthulu!!!). but the other 25% i'm just left thinking "damnit!" second, you can't modify existing objects. at least, not as far as i can tell. i want a box, it gives me a box. i want a big box, it gives me... a box. there's some other objects built into the levels that are like this (big ice block, big steel box, etc) but i can't seem to make any myself. third, rotating. objects can only be flipped 90 degrees each, some only 180. i want full freedom of rotation! lots of times i just end up tossing it on a ledge and hope it tumbles into the right orientation that i want. kind of annoying. i'm sure these can all the applied to the sequel, if there is one, pretty easily. and amazingly, even with all the objects it has, the game only takes a 32MB cartridge. there's definitely room to grow this game.
been playing it since yesterday and so far ive gotten to finish the action and puzzle set of stage 1.. really drained my noodles there trying to figure out how to not re-do my previous words and strat.. overall I find it very impressive to withhold such wide-range of vocabulary. (I think I havent even reach 300 words yet T_T) -will try to go for more words next day currently 11:37pm here gmt+4
Hey freedom (and anyone else playing), I'm interested in what you've come up to get around the tornado in 1-7. So far I've got Spoiler wings/jetpack, kinda tricky to pull off though pegasus (it's imba ) another tornado...somehow, I'm not really sure what happened, but bang level cleared black hole
Also: this thing didn't get rated for all ages because... *drums* The testing team found out that putting a steak on a guy, doesn't go to well if you also summon a lion. Now you guys tell me who's minds are messed up: the programmers who put it in, or the testers who managed to find out how to do this?
@Meee Is it the action or the puzzle part,.. I cant remember much of it but for the moment the mode of transport I use for high places ussually varies from these: air vehicles: ufo, spaceship, chopper, jet, air baloon, pterodactyl (with peck attack lol), dragon (tame it 1st), magic broomstick(most efficient) equips: human cannon ball, trampoline, teleport, pogostick, manlift, crane combo: superhero+grapple, magnet+glue+air vehicle, rope+rope+rope or wire+wire+wire there is just too much to possibilities and basically wing has been the easiest to use so far, but Id prefer using the air vehicles more because they can be used as blunt weapons when you crash them down on ground. I wasn't playing much scribble lately coz I got my psp bricked and Im trying to learn how to fix it without me causing much money to have it repaired by a pro.. (got messed up on firmware update compatibility) --- got stuck with 1-11 those spikes are really annoying ive run out of words to finish that puzzle, tell me if youve got some...
Name some objects you couldn't get. I saw a demo at E3, and they seemed to get a lot of misses on living people.
For flying Pegasus is really neat. As for 1-11, you mean just beating it once or advanced mode? I only did this once so far Spoiler glue a log to the spike belowe star then fly up there. I used a box on the button because I was getting annoyed trying to land on it, but you could skip this I think Didn't really try actual people, but I did GET a tentacle monster so whatever's missing must not be important
yeah, jetpack is one of the most useful items i've found. and grappling hook. i also like the pteradactyl. for killing other things, summon death. he can kill most things.
