I bought Max and the Magic Marker for my daughter as soon as I saw it in todays 24 hour sale on Steam because I knew she'd love it; and, when I checked out the game play, decided to buy a copy for myself. I've not had as much fun with an arcade/indie game since buying Crayon Physics last year. In fact this game has some similarities to Crayon Physics. At 75% off the usual price it's not only a bargain it's a steal. Great fun for all the family. My son is now asking for a copy as well, lol.
I haven't time to post many screen shots as I have tomorrows game giveaway to write up (Yes there is a game giveaway Saturday and Sunday), and I also need to get an early night as I've been buring the candle at both ends this week.
You can check out some videos of game play HERE (11 mins), HERE (2 mins), and HERE (1 min).
