    The maw is a really simple yet satisfying game. This game reminds me of spyro in many ways.

    A short game, the Maw isn't something you should expect to play for hours on end.

    The game lacks finese in controls, and some parts are just up to chasing animals around until the monster blob finally catches them.

    Overall its a fun game, and at a low price is well worth it.

    The Maw is a fine little romp for people who feel the platformer genre doesn't get enough respect these days. It's also a great game for parents searching for something to hand off to a young child. The Maw is fairly linear and there isn't a great amount of depth to it, but its two main characters are adorable and the pacing is spot on.

    Treat The Maw as a casual half hour game and you'll be well satisfied, but don't expect any maw than that. Sorry. [June 2009, p.75]

    Inventive, smart and adorable, but it plays oh so slowly. [May 2009, p.71]
