Great puzzle design, the solutions that you must come up with while using the marker and the different abilities are as challenging as they are fun. I played it with a Xbox Series controller and the drawing was fine, only a small portion of the puzzles required some precision and quick action (and there's also scripted slow motion for some of them). The visuals are good with different environments, and the story is simple without overreaching. Note that getting all the collectables doesn't unlock anything extra, but the puzzles involved are quite fun.

I was hesitant to buy this game due to the mixed reviews, but I'm really glad I did. It captures that nostalgic platformer feel, but adds a fresh and creative twist with the marker mechanic. The marker brings a whole new layer to the platforming experience, making the gameplay much more engaging. The game also features stunning visuals and a distinctive art style that complements the overall experience beautifully. This game is a standout in the platformer genre, and I highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys this type of gameplay. I'm having a great time with it and I truly believe it deserves a much higher rating.

Decent puzzle platformer. Interesting mechanic with marker but Max cant move while "drawing" and cant aim while running causing some frustrating moments. I think If aiming could slow time, like while falling through floor it would give more enjoyable experience.

During the time of review, I have completed this game and replayed certain chapters to attain 100% achievements. Story : It has simple plot and is silly and charming at the same time. Not a lot of lore or elaborate one. Graphic and Presentation : This game looks charming and clean. The environment is designed in such a way that playing each levels in chapter does not feel repetitive or boring. Enemy design and contraptions are placed in such a way encouraging players to think beyond the game mechanism. Game-play mechanism : I love how the controls are simple. The most interesting part which i think is the USP for this game that's the drawing mechanism. Using environmental elements as contraptions and creating a room for thinking how to utilise them to defeat enemies and solving puzzles at the same time. Overall experience : I really enjoyed this game as it brought back memories of playing classic PlayStation platformers with new elements and adding certain charm to it. I highly recommend this game.
