Max & the Magic Marker Debut Footage

Press Play have revealed initial footage behind the ambitious WiiWare platformer, Max & the Magic Marker.

Earlier this week the studio demonstrated the new 2D platform game in action. You control a boy named Max, and with the power of an on-screen cursor displayed as a marker can draw objects to help him overcome obstacles and enemies. It begins as Max starts to doodle a monster, "a wacko purple nut job of a monster", with the magic marker, and must follow his creation to stop it ruining his other drawings.

Much like 5th Cell's Drawn to Life, objects you draw turn into objects you can stand on, push and use. The more ink you apply, the heavier it'll get. The audio in the game is made by Analogik.
