Max & the Magic Marker, developed by Press Play, follows the story of Max and a Magic Marker that appears one day in the mail. Naturally, Max decides to draw using the marker and soon discovers his creations come to life on the paper. He draws a monster and soon realizes that it is wreaking havoc in his imaginary world. Max draws himself on the paper and so begins Max’s adventure through various worlds on his quest to stop a monster of his own creation.
The game is being developed for WiiWare and is already well on its way to becoming a great new title for the service. Max’s magic marker is a key gameplay feature of Max and the Magic Marker and is used in almost every situation as you play the game. The first few levels have various tips and tutorials on how to use the marker to get to higher platforms or across pitfalls.

The current build of the game was on the PC so the mouse is utilized for the magic marker, but the WiiWare version will of course use the Wii Remote.
