Scribblenauts Unlimited is a puzzle sandbox video game developed by 5th Cell and published by Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment for the Nintendo 3DS, Wii U, Microsoft Windows, iOS and Android.
Due to the additional power of the Wii U, a budget meter is no longer present allowing up to 60 objects to be displayed at the same time.
The game was built on an upgraded version of the Objectnaut engine, providing the player with several additional options when creating objects.
As well as the adjective system that was introduced in Super Scribblenauts, players can now attach multiple objects to each other, for example, creating a dog with wheels.
The Wii U version of Scribblenauts Unlimited contains a local multiplayer mode, as well as online support that allowed players to share and download each other's creations custom-made in the object editor with the community.
The Microsoft Windows version of Scribblenauts Unlimited is integrated with Steam Workshop to share custom objects within the community.
[14][15] The iOS and Android versions feature revised touch controls suitable for multi-touch capacitive touchscreens, such as pinching to zoom in/out.
IGN gave the Wii U version an 8.8 out of 10, praising its creativity and level progression, though noting its difficulty was low, and the Nintendo characters were limited.
[21] Nintendo World Report gave the Wii U version a 9 out of 10, praising its use of the GamePad, its engaging gameplay, and the new object editor.
[22] Destructoid's James Stephanie Sterling was less positive, giving it a 5.0 out of 10, calling it limited, panning its simplicity and stating that "it's not actually worth it to be inventive".
