The Maw

How can a game this simple be so much fun?! Independent developers are doing an amazing job of keeping some of reminding gamers that a game doesn’t always need to be insanely deep, complex or cinematic to be entertaining. It’s like taking the fun factor back to the roots. Twisted Pixel has done just that with their original title — The Maw.

The premise is simple. You control an alien being called Frank who encounters an unknown, blob-like living creature known as The Maw, while you are in captivity aboard a space ship. As luck would have it, the space ship crashes and Frank manages to escape with Maw, who faithfully accompanies Frank through the rest of the adventure.
