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 many moments when you will inevitably compare this game to Heart of Darkness, the main character, the desert like initial levels, the schoolkid getting in trouble plot and even some traps and challenges are very reminiscing of that classic 2d cinematique platformer. What Max brings on the table, is the magic marker mechanic. As you make progress, you will gain additional powers for it, they all able you to draw over the screen to change the scenery in specific ways. For example, the first marker power is the ability to raise and lower specific earth pillars. Much later you will also be able to conduct streams of water and by the last stages you are required to combine all your powerful skills in the middle of platforming sections. One of it's better strengths is how fast paced and varied it feels. You will get monster chases, quick clever puzzles, fair dexterity tasks and fun puzzly bosses. All the art is in 3d, but the gameplay is completely limited to the 2d plane. It's a shortish game, with only 7 chapters splitted in 20 levels and around 6 hours of play. There's secrets in every level but they generally are quite easy to get, including getting all the achievements. The difficulty tends to vary between easy to average. It's a very fun game and a strong recommendation if you enjoyed the aformentioned Heart of Darkness or Pid.
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.
