Very nice game. Intuitive, fun and smart. Both my kids love it!

A great game for kids. Even I enjoyed it. It's a fun platformer where you have to use the mouse (your magic marker) to draw in missing platforms to help Max run through the level. No shooting, no violence whatsoever, except that you can kill the purple meanies by hitting them with your magic marker created platforms and they disappear in a cloud of smoke, almost. The game makes good use of simple gravity physics. I found it to be a great fun challenge for my 4 year old. We had fun playing together.

A fun and not very hard platformer that focuses on using magical ink to draw your way out of obstacles and hazards.

Fun, colorful, and simplistic. I got it for extremely cheap and enjoyed this game thoroughly.

Finger licking good! (Y)

My kids (6 and 4) love it!

Very nice artistic, drawn style. The marker is a bit big, blocking sight, but game-play is fun with different aspects to drawing. A drawing physics platformer.

It's like Kirby's Canvas Curse! Except you have to move around instead of just letting your spherical shape do the work. And the physics are janky as all hell. Also your ink will be stolen from you every few minutes just because... I don't know why, really. Repeatedly, levels have reset on me as well.

I suppose what I'm saying is "you'd better get this discounted or really, really love Canvas Curse and be jonesing for more" or you may end up a smidge disappointed. (ask me about having to quit the game because I was trapped under a see-saw)

short version: i highly recommend this game for younger players and/or on discounts
longer version: by looking at the screen shots you can see what the concept of the game is. draw things to help the platforming. me and my niece played about 30 hours (one drawing, the other platforming) of this game when she was about 6 and she loved it (as did i :P ). the game ran smoothly and i don’t recall ever having technical difficulties with this game (at the time, 32bit vista)
why are people dissatisfied and or saying this is a kids game?
. basic platforming with little depth (not fast and tight like Meat Boy or with power ups like Mario)
. the drawing mechanic has little depth. (for the most part you just draw lines to jump on)
. i liked the colour pallet, character designs and animation but they clearly set a light fun child friendly mood
. basic plot (spoiler alert, max gets a magic marker -.- )
