When Max cast the spell, a giant claw comes through a portal and takes Felix.

The main feature of the game's gameplay is a magic marker that adds a creative and open-ended approach to the game's puzzles.

For example, the objects created by the marker can be used as a boosting platform to reach a previously unreachable spot and take a necessary item.
