I just can't catch anything with the claw... like it doesn't collide with anything :(

Nice game! Controlling the claw is pretty challenging. I like the music, fits this kind of game just right!

Nifty little game, nice and polished, simple but effective mechanics!

Good game! The game play too hard. Like the Audio and game mechanic:)

Neat idea! A little hard to start with. You might want to have the claw auto descend when you hit the button, at least that's what I expected to happen.

Good job, liked the mechanics and the tasks you get to do! A keyboard shortcut to restart the level before you lose would be great.

Eh nice idea here and very original concept for a puzzle game, maybe u can add more physics stuff in a future version? Congratz!

Took a few goes of trying to pick up Bob before I realised I had to grab the blue thing instead. Got interesting once I knew how to play. :)

Nice game but not well balanced. The first level was way too hard for an introduction. Very clever ideas though.

Interesting idea for the controls, but working the controls was ultimately harder than the game itself. Most of the time the controls just distracted from the "real" game :-(

I also spent a while on the first level trying to figure out why my claw wasn't gripping the little block -- all the blocks looked "detachable" to me initially.

The inner game was actually quite fun, and I managed to stick through to the end. Good work with the level design.

I'd love to see another version with more traditional controls (perhaps automatically animating the indirect controls to keep the "claw machine" theme).

Very fun game :)
