In The Maw players control Frank, who in turn controls The Maw via an electrical leash that he uses keep him at his side. Gameplay involves guiding The Maw in specific directions to clear obstacles and complete levels. The Maw also has the ability to eat objects and creatures, taking on some of the properties of the thing it eats, such as breathing fire, flying, or simply growing in size. Players then use The Maw's increased abilities to navigate previously impossible sections of a level.

A cute and simple game about a little alien adopted by another alien, that gets bigger the more it eats. Very short platformer, but I kinda had fun, maybe if it had some more care and was longer it could've been a pretty decent game.
This game is probably forgotten by most, if you do stumble upon it, give it a try, it can be finished in a day.
SCORE: 5.5/10

They actually took the middle of the game out and sold it as DLC.
Cute story about a lil blue guy named Frank and his hungry purple friend named Maw! I feel like it's most interesting as a reflection of XBLA and the early days of digital-only games on consoles, but it does stay fun throughout its relatively short runtime. It's also always enjoyable to watch Maw gobble something up and get a bit bigger.
Interesting concept but got old fast. Not for me.
A tad too short but a cute adventure for kids. You drag this purple monster thing around, feeding it animals over and over.
Some creatures will give the maw some new power or element, or simply cause it to grow, allowing you to progress. Not very challenging but it looked pretty good for the time. The animations are polished!
