    The game has some fun puzzling elements and is generally fun to delve into for short bursts. For $1.99, Max and the Magic Marker is a cute and clever 4-Dimple offering.

    If you've somehow held off getting this so far, now is definitely the time to enjoy one of the most creative and engaging indie platformers around.

    Not in the slightest bit sketchy, Max and the Magic Marker gives you a light hand in level design that results in something of a platforming gem.

    A very simple game, the physics and mechanics are very neat, the visuals are pleasing as it's very cartoonish, it would be loads of fun for children and mild amusement for older players. A fine enough way to pass the time but after the initial appeal wears off the game is not very memorable. Not sure what it's going for on the app store, but it's worth a buck or two if you're interested.… Expand
