Quick Look: Scribblenauts Showdown

Death by Antipasta

Yo this game looks alright

This barry manilow - Mandy bootleg song is really distracting

Time to create a Scribblenauts Showdown Showdown - waiting room

100 Scribblenauts drop onto an island...

Super Dada: Best New Character 2018?

Looks like an okay game for kids. I did have an uncomfortable flashback with the soda shaking minigame...

Everyone loves a good party...

It's back, in pog form.

This game is the latest in a small game industry trend where a predominantly single-player franchise is brought back with a smaller multiplayer-focused entry. This does not always go well.

Is it too late to get Scribblenauts onto the main stage at EVO?

YouTube comments for each upload continue to be the worst. I need to stop looking at them.

Holy crap I saw anti-garry gum, which is a Look Around You reference. Totally recommended to watch.

@marokazam: giant bomb's youtube comment section has a very real troll problem. they constantly hate and nitpick every action by any staff member that is not Jeff, Brad or Vinny.

Vinny getting so aggressive in the fishing game cracks me up.

First 4 minutes was me trying to mentally beam them the word "Arbalest".

That Toothpony is banned in competitive play.

Scribblenauts Showdown Shindig

Abby's screaming gets old quiiiick

Aw yeah, Scribblenauts!

Oh, this isn't the Scribblenauts I know...

This seems like Mario Party but worse. Like they mentioned the Scribblenauts games aren't exactly known for their tight controls and the mini games doesn't seem to take advantage of the creativity aspect of Scribblenauts particularly well.

VIVA EL PRESIDENTE!

This looks pretty bad, even if it is supposed to be a "kids game".

Scribblenauts has been bad since they started making sequels, but this is really something else.

lol alex rules this

Can't believe that Abby didn't once try to summon THE SHOCKER

Do not doubt the Toothpony.

"Haha! Missed BOTH my legs!"

"SHUT YOUR FACE!"

*TWACK*

I need to know if "things made of wood" accept "witches".

TIL what an Iranologist is...

I know people have unfairly complained that previous Scribblenauts entries look like glorified browser-based Flash Games...

...but this REALLY looks like a random collection of glorified browser-based Flash Games, from both the loose, floppy animations and the shallowness of actual gameplay.

I think Vinny was thinking of Procompsignathus, not Pacycephalosaurus.

Good take on flappy bird: https://terrycavanaghgames.com/maverickbird/

It's a bit gut wrenching.

Abby is great!! Persistence is key! One day you will stomp dad into the dirt and usurp his throne! Your followers have faith in you!

Bone growth stimulator is in here but no anvil or asteroid?

Jackbox Games needs to license the Scribblenauts API and do something super crazy and fun.

Oof. At first i wanted to commend the game for trying new gameplay. Then i saw how they remade games badly and put them in a worse Mario Party wrapper...

@bobstar: Agreed. It damages me so

This looks like a fun game to play with your kids but the idea that there are some games without the "enter a word" mechanic is kind of mystifying - that's the whole point of Scribblenauts!
