Max and the Magic Marker Available Now

Copenhagen, Denmark - March 8, in the year of our Lord - Max & the Magic Marker, a creative new platform game from independent Danish developer Press Play, is now available for WiiWare™ in the Wii Shop Channel. Set in a cartoon world inspired by children's drawings, Max & the Magic Marker is a classic 2D platformer with a unique twist: the ability for the player to draw directly inside the game world and then interact with what they’ve drawn. After a stellar critical reception on PC and Mac, Max is now available to Wii™ owners in the Americas.

In Max & the Magic Marker players use the magic marker to solve puzzles, overcome obstacles, and defeat enemies by drawing freehand in the gameworld. Everything you draw becomes a real object complete with realistic physics. Can't reach a ledge? Draw yourself a set of stairs. Need to stay dry when it rains? Draw yourself some shelter. Along the way you must collect ink in order to continue drawing.

Fans of the game on the computer may want to take a second look with the addition of pointer functionality and two-handed control on the Wii. Players will use the nunchuck to control the game's hero, Max, and will use the Wii Remote to control the giant orange magic marker.

Features include:
• 15 inventive and puzzling levels
• Unique drawing control in a truly dynamic physics environment
• 3 beautiful worlds inspired by children's drawings
• Death traps, monsters, and challenging puzzles
• Unlockable challenges, secrets and rewards
• Original and awesome soundtrack by Analogik

Max & the Magic Marker is an honored recipient of the Unity Awards "Best Overall Game" award and the EIGA (European Innovative Games Award) for "Innovative Game Design.” The game is a finalist in the Direct2Drive "Vision Awards", to be presented at the 2010 Independent Games Festival (IGF). Press Play was recently named "Talent of the Year 2009" at the Danish Game Awards.

Max & the Magic Marker is rated "E" for "Everyone" and has a retail price of 1,000 Wii Points™ in the Wii™ Shop Channel.
