Just about busted a gut on the bus coming home today.
This game is amazing. Just try to bring yourself back to when you were a kid, playing pretend with your brother or sister. It's a feeling like no other.

On the "heist" level, I was looking for a way to incapacitate the guards, when it struck me to summon water guns and give them to the guards. The next thing I knew, I was being chased by a policeman shooting entirely useless drops of water at me :lol I let him follow me around as I grabbed the starite.

In the water.
Okay so I beat 1-11 but the more exciting thing was how I did the, um, side mission in that level. I love this game.
I wanted to be creative about getting the beehive down from the tree, since I knew I could get a honeypot from it and feed it to the florist. I don't know what good it is to give him the honey, but I wanted to do it. Anyway, I made an anvil and put it on the ground next to me. Then I tied a rope and it and the beehive. CRASH! The tree comes down instantly. Then I grabbed the beehive and tried to walk it over to the florist, but that resulted in me dragging the tree, the rope and the anvil along with me! Not only that, but the whole jumbled mess crashed into the greenhouse and sent it flying off the screen. Hilarious.
So I trashed the anvil and the rope, then interacted with the hive to make a honeypot come out. But I couldn't pick up the honey, and I figured it was because it's still sort-of attached to the tree, since the hive was still technically attached to the tree. So I tried typing in "wood chipper" and, much to my surprise, a pushable wood chipper appeared! I suppose I shouldn't be surprised, but I was, and it was awesome.
So I pushed that wood chipper into the tree, the tree instantly poofed away and I was able to deliver the honey to the guy. Fantastic.

Your package tracking image was amazing. Hope you get your game, I stand up and salute UPS for their tracking skillz. Now I know why their trucks and uniforms are so brown
Level Editor glitches
1. Create a starite. Naturally, you need this to have a complete level. Only, when you are in editor mode, and want to trash the starite, the game recognises it as a fail, and completely resets the level editor, so you have to start blank! Creators beware, always save your level in time.
2. If you have only a really small chunk of your item bar left, spawning a big/hardware tasking item (huge boulder, chain) the game will freeze.

That's because you messed up, son. You created it as Category:World 1-3. Category: pages are special and don't act like normal pages. We've already fixed it. I guess I should make a how-to or something, because in order for everything to work, there'll need to be some fairly strict conventions on how to do things (in terms of page creation, not in terms of OMG you wrote something stupid). Wikia's a bit messy to learn. Its controls are worse than Scribblenauts! :lolDiglet said:

I had jury duty for eleven fucking hours today and I get out and THE ENTIRE CITY IS SOLD OUT OF THIS GAME. Where's the faith in your game Jackson! Apparantly this thing is the most popular shit ever.
Watching my 7 year old play this game is great. He made it through the tutorial levels pretty quick, and when he got to the first level where he could type in stuff in it went like this:
Pizza > Hamster > Cat > Dog > Lion (Ah the lion is eating me!) > Panda > Tiger > death.
Laf.
Then on the first farm level it went like this:
Pig > Cow > (Dad what else? How about a Dragon? <types in dragon, selects Dragon (weapon) and blows up the farmer. We both laugh and laugh>.
I love it.

I didn't think this was out! I'm on my way to get my copy!
1-11 was great. I was so pissed that
I couldn't shoot the fish in the water that was guarding the flower. So I say FUCK IT, I'M GOING TO DESTROY YOU WITH A GOD DAMN SHARK. The Shark ate the fish, and left the flower completely unharmed. I proceeded to finish the challenge :lol

Guys, I'm loving the rapid-fire wiki editing (honestly it brings a huge smile to my face like this 
). But I am going to eat dinner now and won't be able to make any high-level changes for a while, so feel free to just fill up the talk page with suggestions and dreams.
For those who haven't seen it, it's under MASSIVE construction (and always will be) but:
Wiki anything. Solve everything.
Thanks again to ShallNoiseUpon for registering it.

They do. Don't listen to those guys. Best Buy price matches promotional gift card deals. I did it with Batman Arkham Asylum which had a $20 gift card with it at TRU, and I got $20 off at Best Buy (plus an extra $10 gift card that they were offering with the game).
One thing is, make sure you print out Best Buy's store policy where they state their price matching rules if you need to let the clerk or manager know what's up.

I know how to solve it, I was just wondering about further criteria
for example, I use a dog to scare the cat down - starite appears, I grab it, but it says try again. I destroy the house with an axe, cat comes down starite appears, but I get a 'try again'. an you simply not destroy anything that starts in the level?

Orison said:Ouch, dude. And I thought you weren't interested?Good luck finding a copy, man.
I wasn't overly interested just to fight the hype. I ended up cancelling my pre-order in favor of the TRU deal cuz it was so much better, not realizing I'd be busy alll fucking day. Oops. So then I hit Target/BB/Gamestop since they are all right next to each other and it's nowhere and nowhere in town. Sheesh!
Needs to be in stock though. At both stores!Zeliard said:

Finally found a clever way to do 1-11 puzzle.
I didn't want to attack any of the enemies. I thought it was clever.
Anyone find something that Maxwell can ride on that's not a vehicle besides the drums? I need to find something lighter, as I'm making a home made car.
It requires a blimp and a fishing pole.

It's made out of a escalator upside down and a glued object so I can ride it. Once you see how fast the escalator runs on ground, you too would want to ride it.
I love what I'm hearing so far!
I went to Toysrus cause they were handing out free $15 giftcards with the game, but were sold out of course. Probably a good thing though, as it'll actually force me to wait until I get paid on Friday.
I saw a whole row of them at Best Buy taunting me.... temptation!

I have told my mom about the game for a while showed her it and had her tell me how to do the 1st level for 1 round on advance
Also had a chuckle when I mentioned a few goofy things I did in a couple levels. There is a good amount of control input in the game vs. the mental aspect. I wonder if Moms will be able to do this with ease or get a little confused. My grandma did have a top load NES and LoLo back in the day.
4 guys with occupations. Gun to the Police. Oven to chef was wanted but didn't try. Firetruck to the fireman. Stethoscope to the Doc.

Drums is the only one a could find. Once you finish it, I want to be the first one to know how to make it!
@SirPenguin
There was also a mistake where it said that you could not rotate objects.

I got this! It was a long walk to get to the store from the Metro station, too. I'll upload pictures once I can get to a DSi-compatible wi-fi hotspot. Stuff that I remember from playing:
What's sad is I can't remember a lot of what I've tried... all the game gives me to help me remember are the merits, some of which are pretty funny. The controls are bad, but I don't really mind. The control issues are kind of part of the game. They add to the difficulty, but the game is actually pretty difficult anyway. Thinking of the proper object is harder than it seems, even with other people brainstorming. Oh, speaking of brainstorming, I wish this game had multiplayer. It'd be like those imagination battles I have with my brother, where whoever can out-imagine the other person wins. Although asking other people for help isn't that bad of an alternative. I wish this game were DSi-enhanced. It could use the better wi-fi capabilities, levels could be saved to an SD card, and the music player could keep playing while the DSi is closed like in PiCTOBiTS. Anyway, this game is really fun and I need to make sure it doesn't get in the way of my homework.
When I ask others to give me words to try in the game, they invariably say something that's against the rules (usually vulgar, copyrighted, or a proper noun)
A chicken attacked me after I broke an egg (eggs break easily), and then a gamer I spawned with GAF ate the egg (and the chicken, too, after I killed it)
Shrink rays are good ways of dealing with tornadoes
Moles do not dig through dirt - I tried spawning one and it just ran away
People fall asleep after eating too much
Enemy museum guards become your friend after giving them a donut, but then attack after a bomb blows up nearby.
Waterfalls aren't as effective as I thought they would be, and they do not freeze when placed next to a glacier

Just a heads up that the $15 GC deal was today only. Apparently at my store there was a line before the store opened, so I missed out too.

This game is sooooooooooo good. Haven't had much trouble with controls yet. Gone through Action+Puzzle for World 1 and puzzle for world 2.

Oh, one more thing: I love "Identify Mode". It's so cool to see that all of the objects in all of the levels can be spawned by writing them, and it's even cooler to be told what exactly you have to write to get certain things (This is how I found out about stuff like
).
