Aussie-Nintendo said in the recap, "Max & the Magic Marker has a few small issues, but for the most part it's a very enjoyable, laid-back platformer with some really clever puzzles in its later stages."
Indie Royale has launched their newest bundle which features four games available on both PC and Mac including one exclusive Indie Royale title.
Jody Mulhern of Brash Games writes "Available on iOS, PSN, PC, Mac, Wii and now, Nintendo DS, Max and the Magic Marker has enjoyed wide exposure to the gaming community, amassing significant cult status for itself and developer Press Play. And now, being a game where drawing is an integral part of the experience, one would assume that it should continue its reign of quiet conquest on the DS".
IGN - In Max & the Magic Marker, the titular Max must work his way through a series of side-scrolling stages while using his trusty orange-colored magic marker to help him on his quest. As various iterations of the game have been released on WiiWare, PC and iOS, the formula for the game hasn't changed; Max's magic marker can draw platforms, ramps and other basic items to assist him.
