This game could use more juice, as in maybe it could have had more sound effects, such as ones for gathering items. Maybe think of adding glowing gradients to expensive items, with more sounds stacked to make it feel more powerful. A sound for the enemy increasing in volume, with music decreasing in volume can give the sense of impending danger. Well, these would be my ways of making the game feel more juicy, as well as adding a smooth camera that follows the player, and screen shake for the claws closing for example.

Great feedback from Kivelocity, don't have much to add to that, but I'll praise the art style - very cozy, yet mysterious. Good job.

Well, the game idea was great, and visual its quite expressive but something is missing. Idk, maybe more dynamic gameplay or a more exciting goal than just collect money. Overall, the game is good, but it lacks some "spice".

Very nice game but I didn't really understand where's the theme. Good work though !

Excellent work, I think I had some core game-flow issues surrounding victory. I kept playing until I hit something like 5000$ deposited because I was unsure what constituted victory, or if it was just going to keep playing forever. The dockside menu also popped up with two blank boxes at one point, and I have no idea what happened with those.

Music was great, really fit the style of game. Always love me a good lovecraftian themed game with cyclopean tentacled horrors! Great work guys!

Loved the mood of the game! The concept is simple but it has a kind of "gambit like" addictiveness! "What will I find this time?" Nice little game, good work!

Why I discovered such a treasure only now! Well, at least In time to rate it! Can't stop playing. The most satisfying claw since my childhood :) Totally loved the mood, the music, the graphics and light effects. The whole experience is so well designed and polished. The goal is clear and relatable, there's surprise and danger and upgrades! Beautiful entry that should really really be rated more.

Oh god... I haven't slept a lot, so might be a bit more sensitive, but I've got this lingering sense of impeding doom from the kraken or whatever that was, and I stopped playing about five minutes ago. One of the best in the mood department for me. The game felt a bit unresponsive though, might be improvevd by adding sounds, maybe?

Very cool, very moody. Great style, graphics and music, I love it. I guess if I had a criticism it would be that the threat arrives quite quickly, so there isn't much time to get into buying upgrades and stuff.

I liked the mood of the game and the gameplay overall. Got a bug where I cant finish it even when I had the needed money. Anyway good entry!

In the end it seemed like you didn't need any upgrades or maybe the game saves the upgrades from a previous play, I'm not sure, but the last play I beat it without buying any upgrades. I loved the music and artwork. Some sound effects would have definitely helped the overall mood. Still, good job.
