Scribblenauts Remix penciled in for iOS release today

by JC Fletcher on Oct 11th 2011 11:46PM

5TH Cell used its magic pen and notebook (actually a bunch of professional programmers, designers, and engineers within its own team and Iron Galaxy Studios, but whatever) to create an iOS version of its innovative DS game Scribblenauts, delivering the complete product to the App Store ... right now.

For 5 bucks, you can download the universal app Scribblenauts Remix (so that's what that title is!) featuring the signature gameplay -- writing words to summon objects, then using those objects to solve puzzles. The app is apparently based on Super Scribblenauts, meaning you can punch up your items with adjectives. It even has new iOS-exclusive levels.

For five dollars.

Just in time for iOS5 to release

Game is perfect for touch controls,

All of Super Scribblenauts for $5? Yes sir,

@(Unverified) I don't know if $5 dollars is the right price IMHO. It isn't the same game as it's DS counterpart nor is it a mash up of all the levels from those games. This is an iOS *version*.

Maybe $3?

@Evin

Are you kidding me, I paid 5$ for lunch yesterday. Stop being so stingy.

@Evin

Dude you can't even get Super Scribblenauts USED on eBay for less than 15 dollars.

Iwata was right. There really is a race to the bottom happening here. If people keep expecting awesome games for less than a cup of coffee, we're going to stop getting great mobile games and be stuck with 400 clones of Angry Birds.

Pay the damn 5 dollars and enjoy one of the best DS games ever released!

I need this.

I wonder if there are any plans for Android...

Hah! I told you this would happen Justin.

Quickest Insta-purchase ever.
No reviews on the appstore yet. Just clicked...buy. You probably should too.

Hell Yes! I've wanted to play some version of Scribblenauts since first reading about it, what, 2 or 3 years ago. Glad to see it finally come to something I own.

Will this work well on Iphone or is it best for Ipad?

@Hoops
it's a universal app. when you buy it on one, you get it on both.

oh SNAP

SOLD

Third time buying Scribblenauts, and looking forward to the fourth!

Oh not this again.

I distinctly remember Joystiq harping on about how great this game was, consecutive news posts about this game etc. Then it launched to bad reviews and nobody liked it.

Because of that whole episode I stopped watching the developers because I figured some writers must have been paid off. How could such a poorly made, awful game with the worst control scheme ever conceived have been praised so much?

Fool me once. Shame on you. I won't be buying the IOS version.

@Undulation I always heard it was a good game.

@Undulation

The only issue was that the controls sucked. I'm sure they're crappy here too, but you don't play this type of game for the tight controls and graphics on level 3. It's to solve puzzles with the most stupid, absurd solution available.

@Undulation

Weird. Worst I heard was a few complaints about the controls. Everyone I know sings this game's praises up and down, and I'm looking forward to playing it finally. What reviews were you reading that said it was bad?
