World 5, The Shoreline in Scribblenauts is perhaps the most fun I’ve had yet with the game. I got a gold star on nearly every puzzle level. Partially because they were easy, but primarily because the levels were so damn interesting that I kept wanting to go back and complete them in different ways.

I’ll only be looking at the puzzle levels this time. Because they’re awesome.

5-4: Get Her In The Pool

While this level certainly wasn’t easy, it took me a bit. I tried to lure her with taffy, but she didn’t go for it. I tried to lasso her and pull her into the pool, but she was moving too quickly for me to lasso. At last, I pushed her in with a construction crane. I also put an Ice Block on the diving board – beneath her while she was in the air. She seemed to slip off of that and into the pool nicely.

5-5: Rescue!

Here, you’ve got to rescue a beached whale. I managed to shove the whale into the water with a snowplow, pull it into the water with a flotilla, and dig beneath it with a spade until it just fell in.

5-6: Play Ball

Perhaps my favorite level in the game yet. How many things can you throw at this guy? For some reason, the first thing I tried was an eggplant. Beautiful. I also threw a human heart, which quickly netted me a starite. Then I threw a starite at him. That worked too. For some reason, you can’t throw a gerbil or a light bulb, and a grenade kills him before you get a starite. Too bad.

5-8: Win the Race

I’d learned from the leprechaun race that the first thing to do here is stop the other racer. So of course I put up a wall in front of her. Putting a lunar rover in front of her worked too, although I had to put a boulder in front of the lunar rover to stop her from pushing it up the hill. The toughest obstacle in this whole thing is the spiked ball. I had to push it out of the way with various vehicles for the most part, since bombs wouldn’t destroy it and I could only use the magnet to move it once.

That’s all for now. I’m not loving world 6, so perhaps I’ll revisit this topic once I find a world I do love.
