Scribblenauts

Scribblenauts is an upcoming emergent puzzle action video game in development by 5TH Cell and conceptualized by game designer Jeremiah Slaczka for the Nintendo DS. The game is published through Warner Bros. and is to be released on September 15, 2009. It is the third Nintendo DS video game made by 5TH Cell, the first two being Drawn to Life and Lock's Quest. The objective of Scribblenauts, as implied by its catchphrase "Write Anything, Solve Everything", is to complete puzzles to collect "Starites", helped by the player's ability to summon a large variety of objects by writing an object's name on the touchscreen.

Scribblenauts is an exclusively side-scrolling game controlled entirely with the Nintendo DS stylus (although the camera is adjusted using the D-pad). The player controls a character called Maxwell, who must collect objects called "Starites". Maxwell is guided by tapping the touchscreen, or if the player taps an object, Maxwell will pick it up.
