An update on updates
No game without bugs, right? Unfortunately this sad fact is true for Max as well. We are really sorry about that and any inconvenience it might have caused. That is why we now release the first official patch to the PC version of Max & the Magic Marker. It fixes some of the bugs in the game that have been brought to our attention by gamers writing to us. Please don’t stop doing that – it is very valuable to us!
This and eventual future updates to the game can be found on maxandthemagicmarker.com/updates/
WiiWare version: Some of you are also asking about fixes to the bugs that are in the Wii build. We are eager to fix these bugs as well, but as patching is not so common on WiiWare, we can’t really give any time frame on this, but we are working on it. Also we can say that they have been fixed in the US build as well as in the Japanese build, as announced Thursday.
Have a nice saturday!

Hi, congratulations for the game, I bought it last wednesday on PSN, it’s very original and fun…but unfortunately I’m suffering from the same autosave error. I think it happens when the PS3 is connected to the system (PSN) and you try to play the game, then, for same reason, the saved data is deleted. I hope this can be useful.

Hi Toby
Thanks for bringing our attention to this problem. We are taking a look at it right away.
Best

Just bought this a few days ago on PSN, and autosave is bugged. Every time I reload the game, I have to start from the beginning. Obviously I’m not going to keep doing this, so I’ll wait and hope that you patch this. It’s a great shame as I very much enjoy the premise and presentation, but this glitch makes the game unplayable.

Its July 2011, autosave still hasn’t been updated. I can sit through 15 levels, close the app, reopen the app the next time I’m playing and I have to start all over.
If this game was designed to be played straight through in one sitting, never being able to turn the game off, like atari back in the 1980’s, then I want my $5 dollars back.
Thanks. Fun game however.

I would like to play using the joystick only (pc version). I can’t map the directional controls only the buttons on the joystick. I also can’t see how to get it to use the joystick to draw instead of the mouse.
Please let me know either how to accomplish this or if there is a fix in the works.
Otherwise, really like the game so far. Great game! Nice concept.

How often does Wiiware Max save progress? I’ve had to re-start Obey Your Bizz several times, even though it says I have all 52 gold orbs and 4 black ones. I get all the way through the pirate stuff, too, and get sucked up into the swirl in the sky and I still have to start all over again when I turn it on?? HELP PLEASE!

My game always crashes on the “ship ahoy” level when shooting the targets too.What can i do?

Great game. Unfortunately, it freezes on the last level when I beat the big boss guy and enter the portal. The game just sits there. I’ve beat it now 5 times and the same thing happens. I also tried rebooting somewhere in those 5 attempts.
Playing on PC from Steam.

Hey, I bought the game and like it a lot.
But:
It does not let me reconfigure the input, neither keyboard nor gamepad. The gamepad does not work – the only button that is registered is jump.
I thought, maybe this would be fixed with the patch. But now the game crashes on start with an invisible “Oops” button.
Please look into these issues, this game is really good but these issues turn me down somewhat.

Hey guys you shouldn’t have any trouble updating the euro wiiware release of max because konami have just done it today with Gradius Rebirth!
March 1st, 2010meh
You must really be afraid of bugs, because you don’t have any means for us to report them.

I like Max very much, but in the patched version i am still experiencing the same problem. The game always crashes at the “ship ahoy” level where you have to shoot at multiple targets with the canon. Really annoying! Hope this can be fixed soon. I really would love to play on…

Max is awesome but you guys really need to fix the euro release, I’ve had quite a few collision detection glitches and glitches where when you respawn you lose your ink and all the ink balls are gone. Also I’ve many game crashing bugs where everything just freezes and forces me to reset my wii. Some of the game crashing ones I happend to me multiple times in a row at exactly the same area.
Please release a wiiware fix soon, I’ve seen wiiware games updated in the past so it should be possible just pressure nintendo into it.
