| 1 | * AlternateCharacterInterpretation: One could easily argue the two protagonists were actually the sort of individuals who should be locked up. Considering the end result of their escape is the [[spoiler: the destruction of an entire planet. It's later revealed in ''VideoGame/ComicJumperTheAdventuresOfCaptainSmiley'', another Creator/TwistedPixel title, that entire solar systems have disappeared.]] By that notion they can be viewed as [[VillainProtagonist Villain Protagonists]]. |
| 2 | ** As revealed by supplementary materials, Frank can manipulate emotions using the stone in his head. This is actually the reason he was locked up and is also the reason the Maw doesn't just eat him. In essence Frank is actively manipulating Maw to escape what may have been a fully justified imprisonment, consequences be damned. |
| 3 | ** Maybe this ability even works on ''[[TheFourthWallWillNotProtectYou the player.]]'' Maybe that's why he looks so cute. If so, ''[[FridgeHorror what does he really look like?]]'' |
| 4 | * EsotericHappyEnding: The game plays the ending off as Bittersweet: [[spoiler: the parting of two unusual friends.]] In reality [[spoiler: the Maw is now devouring entire planets and still growing.]] This implication is later confirmed in the Creator/TwistedPixel universe as scientists in ''Comic Jumper'' have noticed [[spoiler: solar systems disappearing]] with only a strange purple substance left behind. Of course, given Twisted Pixel's [[DarkComedy morbid]] sense of humour, this was all [[Administrivia/TropesAreTools very much intentional]]. |
| 5 | * InferredHolocaust: [[spoiler:The ending shows Maw devouring ''an entire planet''. Not to mention the fact the galaxy at large now has a ever-growing planet-eating monster on the loose.]] |
| 6 | * UglyCute: Maw. |
