## What is Maw?

You start small enough that a jellyfish is a real threat. Everything in the water is either a meal or a predator, and which one it is depends entirely on how much you have already eaten.

Maw is a one-thumb deep-sea game about the cost of eating everything.

EAT OR BE EATEN
Anything smaller than you is food. Anything bigger is not. There is no attack button — you swim into things, or you swim away.

GROWING IS THE PRICE
Every bite makes you bigger. Bigger is slower, and turns wider. The thing that keeps you alive is the same thing that makes you clumsy.

YOU CHOOSE THE DEPTH
The sunlight zone is bright and safe and thin. Deeper water feeds you faster and hunts you harder. Nothing ever forces you down — that choice is the whole game.

THREE FORMS
Cross a growth threshold and your creature becomes something else entirely. The abyss has a shape waiting for you.

The whole game arrives with the download. There is no store, no currency, no video to sit through, and no second screen between you and the water. When a dive ends you are already in the next one.

Two minutes a dive. The hard part is not going deeper.
