Our Expert Score

82/100

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.
