Max & the Magic Marker is an award-winning physics-based puzzle platformer. Players control Max, a boy who must chase down a monster he accidentally brought to life. With a magic marker that allows you to draw freehand, anything you create becomes a real, interactive object in the game world. Use this talent to build bridges, protect Max from enemies, and solve environmental puzzles across 58 levels and three unique worlds.

Our Expert Score
Max & the Magic Marker Remastered is a fantastic revival of a physics-platformer that still feels innovative today. The core mechanic—using a magic marker to draw objects directly into the game world—is handled perfectly on touchscreens. Whether you're drawing a bridge to cross a gap or a heavy weight to trigger a lever, the physics feel consistent and logical. It turns every level into a creative problem-solving exercise where there isn't just one 'correct' solution.
The remaster brings crisp HD visuals to the table, making the sketchbook-come-to-life aesthetic really shine. With 58 levels across three worlds, there’s a significant amount of content. The challenge comes from the limited ink supply; you have to be efficient with your drawings and collect ink orbs to keep going. It’s a family-friendly game that manages to be both charming and genuinely brain-teasing for adults. A must-play for fans of puzzle-platformers like Scribblenauts or Crayon Physics.
Features
Unique freehand drawing mechanic that creates interactive objects.
58 awesome levels across 3 unique worlds.
Physics-based puzzles with multiple solutions.
Ink collection system that adds a strategic layer.
Award-winning gameplay remastered for modern devices.
Tips & Walkthrough
Ink is your most precious resource. If you draw a large object and don't need it anymore, you can 'vacuum' the ink back up by tapping on the drawing. This is essential for solving complex puzzles that require multiple steps.
Gameplays
Move Max with standard controls, but use your finger to draw shapes. If a gap is too wide, draw a plank. If a monster is in your way, draw a box over its head. The game encourages creative solutions to every obstacle.

Q&A
You must collect ink orbs scattered throughout the level or erase your previous drawings to regain ink.

Great but kind of hard
Thu Sep 24 2020 ghtexrrccfggfcvbHi this game is so amazing trust me, it is a childhood classic. If you get this you won’t regret it! The graphics are so adorable and well drawn and brings back nostalgia for the kiddy days! It’s super easy to use too, when you press the left and right arrows you move left and right and the up arrow to jump up, the pause button to do draw mode, and then you can run over the bridges you created to get to the other side of water or whatever is in your way. One thing though there are purple monsters and they all go so close together that it’s pretty much impossible to avoid them and you die. I’d like it if this was fixed so they are a little far apart so it’s easier. Also I’d like it if during a game you could compete with friends and do a split screen. And if during a game there is an x button so u could play a different level. I hope you enjoyed reading this it wasn’t boring, and please developers u have a great game, just make small changes. And new getters trust me get this game. You’ll totally love it! Hope this was helpful and bye! Stay safe during COVID!
So happy to see this remastered version!
Fri Sep 01 2017 Aaron.CZThis is one of my favorite games when I was a kid, i had so much fun with it. However, the game was removed from all the stores for a long period, I was really sad to find nowhere to download it. This remastered version is excellently optimized for retina screens which provides with better visual experience than before, and I'm glad to see the capability across all the iOS devices, because the iPhone and iPad version were sold separately. As I saw this item is released, I purchased it immediately. Hope the developer keeps doing a better job.
I can’t believe it’s still here!
Mon Oct 15 2018 Usually Good Game ReviewsI love this game, I have always loved this game, I remember playing it a couple years ago, and it was my FAVORITE game. I’m probably gonna get Max - The curse of Brotherhood because I found out that it’s still here. I think that this game is worth it and that you should get it, it’s not worth $1.99 though, it’s definitely worth at least $2.99, so if you’re looking for a couple hours of entertainment, get this game. You won’t regret it, I loved this game. I canny believe they remastered it
Great work!
Sun Oct 08 2017 Luay Y.I love this game! I remember when I had my first iPad I was playing it non-stop. I downloaded the game and saved it in a folder that I use when I am on the airplane. I hope the developer takes care of the graphics to be sharper (on a par with what 2017 games offer). Low quality fonts and images take the whole user experience a notch down.
Played this game in the wii when I was little
