Marker Man Adventures Looks to Draw In Gamers at Retail

One of the cooler portable games I've been keeping an eyeball on this year has finally made its way to retail. Majesco's latest Nintendo DS game, Marker Man Adventures, developed by Glyphic Entertainment, is now in stores at a more than reasonable $19.99. Now don't go confusing this up as some sort of quickie, slapped together Scribblenauts cash-in, folks. The game is a pretty nifty physics-based platformer/puzzle game, as you'll see in the bit of the press release below:

Players take on the role of Marker Man, a lovable stick figure, who must solve hundreds of physics-based puzzles in order to find his missing canine Doodles. Using the stylus as a creative tool, players can draw simple geometric shapes - including lines, boxes, circles, triangles and pivot points - to create machines that will help them progress through 170 levels.

In Marker Man Adventures, the Touch Screen transforms into a canvas where players use creativity and logic to advance from point A to point B within a scrolling world. Throughout the game, power-ups help solve challenging puzzles while dozens of hidden areas offer special surprises. Additionally, themed levels keep the game play fresh as players continue their search for Doodles.

Sounds pretty cool to me - this one should be a fun review.
