Scribblenauts Remix is a dollar right now, and you should buy it.

Now, I wasn’t a huge fan of Scribblenauts on DS. It controlled completely and utterly like ass. It was a pain to play, so much so that I didn’t even try Super Scribblenauts.

They fixed all that on iOS. The controls are basically the same as on the DS, but because my iPad is a much bigger screen, it is much, much easier to tap on what I want to tap on, and so on, and even easier to type in words. You may still have similar issues on an iPhone, but even then, they’ve included a virtual joypad option for moving Maxwell which will at least deal with a majority of stupid movement issues.

This lets you enjoy the game, which is easy, but the ability to create basically anything you type in is still magical. I played for like, what, an hour today, and I already have beaten over 50% of the levels, but it’s still a lot of fun. They seem to be using a mix of Scribblenauts, Super Scribblenauts, and original levels in the iOS version, which means a lot of these levels I haven’t seen before, which helps too. Makes it more fun.

I don’t know how long-lasting the game will be. I’m pretty sure I’ll finish blazing through the rest of the levels in another session and then be done. But I’ve certainly had a lot less fun for a dollar before, and it is pretty awesome to make all the shit appear, especially if you force yourself to constantly come up with new words. I highly recommend grabbing this while it’s on sale (or, of course, when it’s on a future sale, because it’s iOS, that’s obviously going to happen.)
