My experience with Scribble Wars was a brief one indeed. It's a 2-player splitscreen game, so I went as fat as I could in the tutorial controlling both screens, but eventually some commands were introduced that I wasn't able to pull off because I don't have a full keyboard with those calculator-style number pads. I just have that half-ass laptop keyboard.
I've gathered that when the devs-to-be over at DigiPen don't quite have the energy to rip off Ikaruga, they just rip remove some of the more proprietary elements and rip off Asteroids instead, so this game is basically two of those. You are two thirds of a triangle, there are enemies on your screen and it's your job to murder till you just can't murder no more. Not that this game is all about destruction, though, because you also have the ability to create life! In addition to 4-way shots and shields, you have the option, once you kill enough enemies, to spawn an enemy on your opponent's screen. The more enemies you've killed, the stronger your minion will be.
I assume this game has the potential to be the same kind of friendship-decimating fun as demonstrated in games like Pac Attack, but since I'm a loner with neither the people nor the equipment to play a game built like this, the assumption is all I have, and you know what happens when we assume.
That's all I got for now. Until next time, stay a'scribblin.
