Despite the god awful pun in the title, what I have written is true. Right now, at this very moment, Max and the Magic Marker, critically acclaimed WiiWare indie hit, can now be bought via Steam and played directly on your PC. While the PC version has always been available via the developers website, launching on Steam gives the developers instant access to a MUCH larger audience than eitehr WiiWare or their own website.

Of course, I’d be remissed if I didn’t share with you how much I actually enjoyed the game when it hit the Wii earlier this year. Go on, check out my review right here.

While I certainly had some complaints about the accuracy of the Wiimote and how drawing with it can be excruciatingly aggravating, as a PC game many of these same faults aren’t nearly as bad. Sure, drawing with a mouse isn’t ideal, but compared to drawing with the Wiimote it’s a huge improvement.

Aside from that, I rather enjoyed the game. The style, gameplay, and story were all incredibly imaginative, enough so that it actually made my “Top 10 Break Out Indie Games of 2010” late last year, months before anybody had ever even really heard of it. So if that’s not a testament to how fun the game can be, then I don’t know what is.

The game is for sale for $19.95 via Steam right now.

UPDATE: Contrary to my press release the game is not yet available. It has a place holder on Steam, but there’s not currently a “buy” button. I’ll let you guys know when it’s arrived. Game is now officially available on Steam for either the PC or Mac. Go get ‘em.
