On a day like any other, a mysterious package arrives in the mail- its contents: one plain orange marker. Our young hero Max tests the drawing implement in a series of illustrations, when suddenly a monster he has drawn jumps to life and begins corrupting his other pictures. Max is left with no other choice but to draw himself into his imagined 2-D world and stop his own abomination.
Coming soon to WiiWare, courtesy of Press Play and the New Danish Film Institute, we are pleased to present Max & the Magic Marker. We recently had the opportunity to test the demo version of this exciting new title and I am very much looking forward to seeing the final product.
Indie Royale has launched their newest bundle which features four games available on both PC and Mac including one exclusive Indie Royale title.
Jody Mulhern of Brash Games writes "Available on iOS, PSN, PC, Mac, Wii and now, Nintendo DS, Max and the Magic Marker has enjoyed wide exposure to the gaming community, amassing significant cult status for itself and developer Press Play. And now, being a game where drawing is an integral part of the experience, one would assume that it should continue its reign of quiet conquest on the DS".
IGN - In Max & the Magic Marker, the titular Max must work his way through a series of side-scrolling stages while using his trusty orange-colored magic marker to help him on his quest. As various iterations of the game have been released on WiiWare, PC and iOS, the formula for the game hasn't changed; Max's magic marker can draw platforms, ramps and other basic items to assist him.
