TouchArcade: 5th Cell’s and Iron Galaxy Studios' Scribblenauts Remix [$4.99] is a work of utter genius. Think of a noun, type it in, and then the game conjures whatever you chose to aid you in a puzzle. Need to find a way to reach a button on a cliff above the sliding door it controls? Hop on a pegasus. Want to bury a dead man? A stylish coffin, a shovel, and a spot of dirt will do the trick. Remix's brilliance is in its ability to let you use any tool to solve any puzzle. It cradles creativity unlike any other game, and Remix isn’t shy about letting you play in its world, to create all the fire-breathing dragons or toasters you can handle.
While many indie games suffer from the same problems as their AAA peers, getting mired down in retreaded subject material and clichéd mechanics, the most interesting titles recognize their freedom and show no fear in taking advantage of it.

Scribblenauts is a game practically built for phones, and its absence on Android has left a conspicuous void in its library. At long last, 5th Cell has brought their innovative puzzler, albeit exclusively via the less-popular Amazon market. Nonetheless, the game isn’t exclusive to Kindle devices, and its long overdue arrival makes for a very welcome addition to the Android gaming landscape.
