Scribble is a platform-puzzle game released 2006. The player draws lines with a limited amount of ink to guide the various ink blots towards their goal. It is Nitrome's seventh released game.
The hills have bones in the ground as scenery. The time of day is more midday. Trees and rocks are also scenery. There are roots hanging from overhead ground.

This level is a long tunnel, covered in spikes. The way through is to draw one line about 3/4 across the screen. Then, when the blots reach the end of that line, draw another. This way the lines are more recent, rather then one long line, all drawn at once, which would cause it to disappear quickly.

This level is very puzzling. The fire doodles should be put out of the way, then the blots should be sent to get the key nearest to them and the exploding doodle to the left of the gate should be detonated to leave a hole in the floor. Then the other exploding doodles should be let out through the gate. They should be detonated in the hole that the other exploding doodle made. This will create a tunnel leading the blots to the flag.

To finish this level, the second key from the left must be used, and then the blots must use timing to get to the flag on the other side of a boulder in an anti-drawing zone.

In this level, three blot groups have to be tended to. The top and middle groups can be merged around halfway through the level, through a hole from an exploding doodle.

In this level, the exploding doodles must make a tunnel once again. The gate that leads to the flag can be removed by detonating an exploding doodle there.

In this level, there is an area with lots of lasers in the beginning, a long set of spikes afterwards, and some digging right before the end. As usual, the player can lead them all to the same finish.

In this level, some keys should be collected, some should not. From the start, send the blots to the top-right corner. The player must detonate the bombs and send one blot into the holes to get the keys inside them. (right first.) After opening the gate for the other blots, the player can leave the solo blot alone, as it will wonder into a one blot finish.
The group has to go down the hole the gate unlocked. Down there, they have to wander through the anti-drawing zone, the player doesn't have to worry about the key inside it. On this entire route, the player should take the first, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh, eighth, (the solo blot will just wonder into the ninth), and 11th keys that the blots come to.

This level, the final level, surprisingly, isn't all that hard. It's just fast paced. The level is full of lasers. They need to be blocked as the blots climb to the top of the level, where the finish is.

Lines - Blots and some enemies can interact with them. Fire will burn them. The ink meter at the top of the screen shows how much ink you have left to draw lines. After a while the line(s) will start to disappear. This or a fire burning them will refill the ink meter. Drawing a wall will turn the blots or the enemy around.
Signs - Signs hang from the ceiling. They show information about the game.
Pear doodles - They are the basic enemies and can walk on lines.
Caterpillar doodles - Caterpillar doodles have several segments and a head. Vertical lines will split them until only one segment and a head remain. If split further, the doodle is destroyed.
Exploding doodles - Exploding doodles will explode if in a confined space or in contact with fire.
Fire doodles - Fire doodles will burn lines like fire. They will not react to lines (as they burn on contact) with the exception that lines will still turn them around.
Bouler doodles - Boulder doodles will slowly fly upwards, and then they will crash down to the ground. Lines will block them, like lasers.
The concept of drawing lines to guide the blots to their goal is a lot like the concept of Sandman, in which the player sprinkles sand on the ground which the Sleepwalkers can interact with.
The in-game music is a variation of the William Tell Overture theme by Rossini.[2]
The inspiration for the look of the blots in the game Scribble were old Disney cartoons. According to Mat Annal, specifically the "white face and big noses" of these characters were inspired by these cartoons.[3]
