The game experience you will face offers total enjoyment for creative players, who could use the uniqueness of the innovative gameplay to approach and solve 15 challenging levels in an individual manner.

Max & the Magic Marker will drag you into the game’s timeless Jump´n Run elements; its puzzles and physics fun, created by the Danish Studio Press Play. This highly talented team has created an adorable and loveable character Max, who will fascinate his viewer instantly. Accompanied with the unusual music and effects created by Scandinavian independent cult combo Analogik.
