Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })The Maw is an Xbox Live Arcade (and later Steam-released) platformer by Twisted Pixel, later creators of 'Splosion Man. It involves an alien boy, Frank, who gets kidnapped by Galactic Bounty Hunters and then befriends an amorphous blob known only as The Maw. After the ship crashes, he teams up with The Maw to find their way off the planet. By helping Maw eat... and eat... and eat...The duo must work their way through a variety of levels taking advantage of The Maw's ability to grow in size with every meal and take on the unique attributes of some of the creatures he devours. Your typical everyday tale of a boy and his loving pet. If that boy was an alien and his pet an unstoppable eating machine.

All There in the Manual: Frank's race, the Teltarians, can cause emotional disturbances in different life forms with the stones on their head. This is why the Galactic Bounty Hunters captured him at the beginning of the game, as well as why the Maw doesn't eat him. Some of the game's information says what most of the enemies are named like for example the small pink creatures are named Yums, the Firey Lizard creature are named Gastros, the rare & floating snot & Mucas creatures are named Snuffles, the electric flying insectoids are named Bulbous, the slug-like creatures are named Gloobers, The worm-like puffball creatures are named Puff-tors, the hostile peacock-like creature from the fifth level is named Loofer & the giant beetle creature is named Beetull, a pun on the animal species Beetle.

Cosmic Horror Story: Rare example of a C.H.S. that exists mainly in the subtext. The main reason why this game isn't absolutely terrifying is because the visuals are so cute.
