Deal of the Week: Max & The Magic Marker

Xbox Live Deal of the Week gets you gaming on the cheap. Every Wednesday an Xbox Live game goes on sale and the discount stays in effect until the new Deal is released.

This week's Deal is Max & The Magic Marker. Here's the official description of the game:

Max & the Magic Marker is an award-winning physics-based puzzle platformer.

The game is for all audiences yet still challenging for the hardcore gamer.

Max plays like a classic platformer but with a twist. You have a magic marker that enables you to draw freehand in the game – everything you draw becomes real and can be interacted with in the game world. You must help Max overcome enemies, obstacles and puzzles on his journey.

Enjoy:
- Lots of puzzles with multiple solutions!
- Earn loads of achievements!
- Compete against your friends on the leaderboards!
- 15 awesome levels in 3 unique worlds!

One day Max gets a mysterious marker in the mail. The first thing he draws is a monster, but as soon as the pen leaves the paper, the monster comes to life and jumps into another drawing. It must be stopped, so Max draws himself onto the page and the chase begins.

The game has received several awards including the “Independent Games Festival 2010 (IGF) D2D Vision Award”.

Max & The Magic Marker has dropped from $4.99 to $2.99 for the rest of the week. The standard free trial is also available.
