I've never played a virtual claw machine before. Works well, doesn't feel a real one, because the claw is too good at grabbing the creatures, haha. Not much more to do than collect. I couldn't figure out what the other buttons do?
This is SOOOO good! All the fun of playing a claw game in the arcade (complete with immersive background sounds) but none of the wasting hundreds of dollars! I really like this, a lot! And it's a unique take on the theme too!
I love the plushies, they are super fluffy. The feel of the machine is very well achieved, good work with the physics!!
This was really fun! I enjoyed the atmosphere and all the different toy models :)
Loved the idea and implementation. The graphics and interactive menu are amazing! Congratz
So much fun just catching critters. I do love the ability to upgrade. An inventory so you can look at the things you've caught would be a nice upgrade.
I love the art, the creatures are so adorable! But what do the buttons on the right do? Maybe you can describe their functions. Overall, well done!
Now THIS is a cozy game :D I like the feel of it and it looks really nice too
So cute! I do now need all of these squishy animals in really life!
NICE WORK!!
Haha this was great! Felt really good to play and unlock bonus to try for the high score. I also really appreciate the menu and credits on the side of the machine such a nice touch.
Beautiful game, I'm not quite sure what the power-ups are doing, the 2nd looks like it would add an aim point but I'm not seeing it do anything in particular. Still a ton of fun, I want to see the collected figures on the side to check off the list or have more direction to aim for specific characters in the game.
Unclear what the buttons on the right do other than that they were upgrades you can buy, and controls stopped moving the claw after around the 4th or 5th game (upgrades were 3/3, 3/3 and 2/3, in case that's relevant?)
Very nice game other than that bug, though!
Unique idea with the power ups. Makes it a bit more than just a quick toy. Found I could shove the stuffed animals through the ground and make the claw freak out by pressing the button multiple times. Actually bounced a few in the hole that way somehow!
Awww this was so fun and cute! I've always enjoyed playing the crane game when I have a spare dollar or two, and this let me scratch that same itch for a few. I enjoyed that the claw was much more forgiving than real life as well! :D
Pretty fantastic aesthetic!

Very cute! Controls were cool!
Simple and well-executed. I love the art and style!
Pretty nice and satisfying game, couldn't really tell what upgrades do, except for the speed one, but yeah, nice one, though couldn't finish, bc the claw just refused to move anymore at round 4
Thanks for the feedbacks ! I added the controls and upgrade details in the description. We wanted to keep the UI diegetic but didn't have the time to make something like an explanation plaque. The crane is indeed finicky.. If I spent more time on it the rest of the game wouldn't have existed :laughing:. I will solve some of the bugs seen in the comments in a few days.
Cool game idea! I liked it! Good job!
This idea, and the execution, is so great! Those machines look like so much fun, and this game fixes the main problem that it is ***impossible*** to catch any of the adorable plushies. The graphics help too; they are amazing! The background didn’t need to be this beautiful and creative, but it is! The machine is so charming-looking, and the options menu is a nice touch. However, I do wish the plushies were a bit more creatively designed and that it was clearer to see where the claw is in the box. Most of the time, I don’t feel like I have control over where it will land, which is a big part of the game. The upgrades are really nice; they add to the fun of the original machine, even though they make a really loud noise, but the options menu helped with that. By the way, this is the best use of the theme I’ve seen so far; I haven’t seen any other game using it like this. Overall, it’s an amazing game! Well done!
