Information Review

Max & the Magic Marker is a platformer video game developed and published by Press Play for the PC, also available on Nintendo Wii. In the game, like most kids Max loves to draw. One day he gets a mysterious marker in the mail. There is no letter attached – only the plain orange marker. Max decides to test it right away, sits down and starts drawing. He draws a monster but as soon as he finishes the lines on the paper start moving and to Max's great surprise the monster jumps off the paper and suddenly stands in all its glory in the middle of Max' room. A couple of Max' drawings lying around on the floor and without warning, the monster jumps right into one of them. Stunned by surprise Max now sees how the Monster starts messing around with his drawings, making them all weird painting moustaches on everything and messing things up. Max realizes that he has to follow the monster to set everything right. So he draws himself on the same drawing that the monster is in and immediately finds himself inside the drawing. The game begins.

Max & the Magic Marker is a physics based 2D platform game, in which the player controls the boy Max and his Magic Marker. While Max enables good old platforming fun, the marker pro­vides the game’s signature feature: the ability for the player to draw directly inside the game world where everything drawn becomes physical objects. This feature is used to complete levels and overcome challenges but it also provides the player with a unique tool that in itself is fun to play around with.

Max & the Magic Marker game features:

Face the challenge of 15 inventive and puzzling levels

Use unique drawing control in three beautiful worlds inspired by childrens’ drawings

Unlock challenges and discover a multitude of secrets and rewards

Enjoy an original and atmospheric soundtrack by Analogik
