Max: The Curse of Brotherhood is a reimagening of Max & the Magic Marker. Just like the original game it is a 2D side-scrolling platformer with a focus on physics to solve puzzles. The visuals have been enhanced extensively and are now presented in 2.5D instead of the plain 2D of the original game. Basic movement allows Max to move around, jump, slide down, swing and climb ropes, duck through narrow passages and climb platforms. There is no way to attack, instead he has to use a magic marker in inventive ways. His old marker is turned into a magic one by an old lady and the player uses it to draw in the environment to help Max get around and defeat enemies.
