This is an amazing original platformer. A sequel to a now unlisted and impossible to get game "Max & The Magic Marker", this game improves on every front. You play as Max, a kid who, tired of his little brother breaking his toys, activates a spell to get rid of him by being captured by a monster from another world. It's a similar plot to the movie Labyrinth but it works well to set the proper setting. There's...

I am a huge fan of platform games and this is truly a great platform game. I played it on Xbox and now steam. I love the unique mechanics of the game, using a magic pen to create roots, vines and water as ways to help you progress. Honestly I haven't got a bad word to say about this game. Its very challenging and really charming.

90/100 Really fun platformer. The puzzles are fun, not too hard not too easy and the gameplay overall is enjoyable. BUG TIP: I played in dongle mode with a Gamesir controller, the magic marker bugs every 30-45 minutes, making me re-start the game and ruining the experience. In wired mode didn't happen.

This game is a hidden gem, I remember playing this game on my dads Xbox, sadly not everyone remembers it. I hope this game gets more recognition someday.

Two thumbs way up for this classic sleigh ride across many landscapes, caves, ladders, bridges, ponds, lava pools, etc. in Max's quest to save his little brother from a villain. Excellent scenery, platformer situations, boss fights with assorted monsters and handy uses for the "magic marker" (in the true sense of the word). Tearing out the eyeball plants was a humorous side achievement, as well. I was enthralled...

I first discovered this game when I was a teenager. It was my favorite platformer back then, and I spent hours solving its puzzles. I still come back to it every once in a while.

Very Old Game, But It Still Holds Up Surprisingly Well. Puzzles Are Really Fun & Using Different Magic/Powers To Solve Them is A Good Idea. Good Balance Between Difficulty Level, Not Too Tough, Not Too Easy. Overall A Great Platformer 8/10
