If you go above the par number and conjure more items than you should, you don’t get a reward. Your rewards for completing a stage are governed by how many items you conjure up in a given stage, with a strict par number. Sadly, this sense of free-for-all experimentation is not something the “real” game actively encourages. The price of entry is worth the title screen playground alone.
The playable pre-menu section is a virtual sandbox where you’re simply free to play with the game’s mechanics and see what happens without pentalty. In fact, perhaps Scribblenauts‘ best section is its start screen. The sheer experimentation is where Scribblenauts truly shines, and although it’s far too easy to break the game and come up with words it doesn’t recognize (it happens disappointingly often), there is endless fun to be had in dreaming up strange monsters and bizarre sci-fi contraptions to see what happens. For instance, an Atheist will run screaming from God while a Terrorist will attack anything that moves. Machine guns, vampires, hydras, Satan, anything you can think of will be conjured up and act in a certain way. Players can write whatever they like - provided it’s not copyrighted, rude or based on a real person (generally) - and that object, machine or creature will appear in the game as if by magic. The big gimmick of Scribblenauts is simple in concept but absolutely staggering to see in practice. The hero of the game is Maxwell, a young man with a love of rooster hats and a need to collect shiny objects known as “Starites.” Each of Scribblenauts‘ many levels revolve around solving puzzles in order to get Maxwell to the Starite, and you’ll need to make use of your imagination and vocabulary to achieve your goal.
