Games are Evil writes, "One day Max gets a mysterious orange marker in the mail. He decides to draw a monster. When he's done, the monster jumps off the paper and into the middle of Max' room! The monster then jumps into other drawings in Max's room, messing them up and creating havoc. Max realizes that he now needs to follow the monster to set everything right again."
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.
game looks pretty crazy.. I can't wait to see more
I like the idea of drawing pieces to solve puzzles.. looks awesome
Note to Wii devs: More like this, please. Keep taking advantage of the Wii control system, not exploiting it for stupid little waggle games.
I say kudos, I'll have to check this one out. Will it be similar to Drawn To Life?
I think this will be deceptively hard.
Another sweet game heading our way that hd gamers will ignore because it is:
A. "too kiddy" or B. they suck at 2-d sidescrolling games or C. Looks like it might be fun and you don't have to kill people (AKA "too kiddy")
