AU$5.49

With the flurry of apps that are arriving after the launch of iOS 5, few caught our attention like Scribblenauts Remix. A new Scribblenauts game for iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad, featuring the creative word-based gameplay we love on an intuitive capacitive screen, it's as though this was the platform the game had been intended for all along. It's also a great way for kids to learn spelling, vocabulary and lateral thinking without it feeling like a chore.

Scribblenauts Remix is also one of the first apps we've seen to take advantage of the Apple cloud. If you have it installed on multiple devices, your game will automatically save in iCloud and transfer to all your iDevices, which means you can pick it up and play from where you left off on any of them.

New features also include social network sharing via Twitter and Facebook, and players can now share and view leaderboards and achievements. For the price, it's one of the coolest games we've seen come to iOS. Caveat: It's not very long, though.
