From the review:
Ingeniously, the marker and the drawings aren’t just story line gimmicks--they make up the core gameplay. You control Max’s movements with the W, A, S, and D keys and use the mouse to control the marker. To solve each level’s clever, physics-based puzzles, you need to draw objects on the screen, which then become real, physical parts of the game world. For example, to jump to a high platform, you could stand Max on one end of a seesaw and draw a big rock in the air above the other end--it’ll fall and catapult Max into the sky. To keep rain or falling rocks from hitting Max, draw him an umbrella. To get him across a chasm, draw a bridge or some stairs.
Adding another layer of strategy, pressing the Spacebar freezes the action, and the graphics change from a smooth cartoon rendition to a child’s hand-drawn style. But you can still use the marker. So sometimes you’ll need to jump into midair, freeze the game with the Spacebar, and draw a missing step or ramp underneath Max.
