That is why I love you Reenk.

That and I dumped Beefy last night. He was going to leave me, so I beat him to it.

Don't break up with Beefy! Let's just

I headed to Best Buy this morning and got the game. But I had to make my morning lectures as well.

Other people must have thought I was a dork for playing DS but screw 'em.

Game is great so far, thought some things aren't as I would expect. A "bridge" is really a lot tinier than I thought for example. Ah well, maybe I'm trying to be TOO clever in my solutions...

Any and all impressions are definitely welcome. Likewise particularly good puzzle solutions; I guess they had better be spoiler tagged though.

I intend to get the game ... when I can find a copy for under £20. Love the concept and definitely want to support it however poor controls are one the two things which I struggle very hard to tolerate in any game.

I'm having some trouble interacting with certain items... I can't tell if it's an engine limitation or if I'm just doing it wrong.

For example, if I summon a crane, I can attach it's chain to an item but I can't figure out how to hoist anything with it. All I can do is get in the driver's seat and drag whatever it's attached to... which makes the crane basically a big version of the tow truck. Similarly, I haven't figured out how to do anything useful with items like winches and pulleys- I can summon them, but I can't seem to do much with them.

Anyone else have any luck with things like this? I noticed the crane has a rear seat, which I've managed to sit in, but I still don't know how or if I can operate it.

I've completed both the puzzle and adventure modes for area 1, all of them gold stars (completing each 3x without repeating any items). So far, I'm enjoying puzzle mode alot more than adventure. The main difference is that in puzzle mode, you have to achieve a goal to unlock the starite- whereas in adventure, the starite is already there and you have to figure out how to get at it. Either way, getting to the goal once is pretty easy, but I think it gets a lot more interesting when you have to do it 3x without repeats.

Edit: Aha! You tap the hook of the crane to extend the boom!

Yet to find a copy, so far the only criticism is the game not having every word, this sounds like a masterpiece.

According to a lead dev, the list of 22 thousand words was released by a hacker and does not contain everything...

HOW MANY CAN THERE BE?

Quite obviously the lead developer lies. I bet my career on how you won't find a word not listed in the list you posted here before (Presuming that is the full list)

Beats me but how they managed to squeeze it into a DS cartridge WITH DRAWINGS is beyond me, you would expect that would require a doomsday-device with it's own powerplant, it is simply epic. This is going to be so fun to mess around with. Brilliant idea Hall of Fame for Scribblenauts. I am sure. Prior to having played it.
