| 1 | * {{Anvilicious}}: Typically the major criticism of the game's plot: between the opening dedication, Quico's flashbacks, the statues, and the entire "final boss" fight, it's more than obvious what Monster is supposed to represent. That said, [[http://www.penny-arcade.com/report/article/saving-the-monster-what-the-ending-of-papo-of-yo-can-teach-us-about-abuse-s this may have been intentional on the creator's part:]] |
| 2 | -->"Why did we need to see [[spoiler: whiskey bottles turned into frogs]]? Wasn't it obvious that's what was going on? Caballero pointed out Papo & Yo takes place in the mind of a child, and a child who is the victim of abuse rarely sees his abuser's actions as such. They can't see the truth. Sometimes things need to be shown explicitly before healing can begin. |
| 3 | * FridgeBrilliance: At first, it's funny to see Quico getting rid of frogs by splatting them against the wall - but when TheReveal hits that [[spoiler: those frogs represent bottles of liquor]], why this works becomes crystal clear. |
| 4 | * FridgeHorror: When an enraged Monster catches you, he throws you around, but you recover. However, when he catches Alejandra, [[spoiler: Monster turns his back to you and then she's gone ''forever.'']] Then on the final level, there are actually [[spoiler: at least a dozen Alejandras that he can consume, unless you engineer an escape for them.]] What did he do to all these girls? |
| 5 | ** The implication seems to be that [[spoiler: the girl was Quico's sister in reality, and was likely either killed by their father's abuse, or at least taken away, depending on [[SocialServicesDoesNotExist whether Child Services exists]] InUniverse]], and the only reason that Quico needs to repeat the process is to hammer the point home. |
| 6 | * PolishedPort: The PC version, released in April 2013, was a huge improvement over the original. It had practically every audio/video option you could want out of a PC game, as well as sharpened graphics, the ironing out of many [[GameBreakingBug Game Breaking Bugs]] (some were left in, but they bordered on UnintentionallyUnwinnable), a silky-smooth framerate and excellent keyboard & mouse controls as well as supporting an Xbox 360 gamepad. |
| 7 | * TearJerker: Arguably the entire game considering the fact it’s [[spoiler: about the creator's real alcoholic abusive father.]] |
