If you own an iOS device you may know Max and the Magic Marker , interesting puzzle game in which we must help the hero Max to overcome a series of levels by drawing bridges and other structures to overcome various obstacles. The Danish Press Play, acquired by Microsoft in June 2012, now have announced Max: The Curse of Brotherhood for Live Arcade.

The game sees the return of Max as the protagonist, in order to save the brother kidnapped and taken to a mysterious realm. The title we will present many puzzles that we have to solve by using the magic marker Max, but this time the adventure will have a more compelling story and settings much more adventurous than the game for Apple devices. The first trailer released, which we show below along with the first images, shows us that mechanics seem to use the capabilities of Kinect though for now has not yet officially announced Microsoft sensor support. An alternative might otherwise be interacting with SmartGlass for touch control mechanics: we are waiting for more information.

Update: we contacted the folks at Press Play, which stated that the game will not support Kinect nor SmartGlass: both technologies had been considered but it was decided at the end to create a game that supports only the standard controller.

The game is set for release in the spring, and then in a few months, at a cost of 1200 MSP: we leave you a video and images.
