I used to play this game on my DS and I absolutely loved it! This is a slightly different version but it's fun and super easy to complete!

Scribblenauts Ulimited, & Scribblenauts Unmasked will always have a special place in my heart. I remember playing both of these games on my old tablet, when I was younger. Man sucks good times.
I enjoyed this game a lot, I had a lot of fun beating it, and I think it has a tremendous amount of replayability associated with it. I'm going to be revisiting it a great deal. If it's on sale there's no reason not to pick it up.
