Please publish it via itch.io or upload a build here.

pschichtel 2025-10-06 23:09

I'd really like to play it, but unfortunately there is neither a Linux nor Web-Version.

spaint 2025-10-06 23:14

@b0guslaw Sure, here it is https://spaint.itch.io/clawful

My inner degenerate gambler loves this lmao! I can't afford my rent now Well done, dude <3

protohere 2025-10-07 07:49

this is actually really cool! im surprised about how well the claw physics works. the 3D modeling goes crazy too

naru 2025-10-07 09:23

Cool game! Worth the praise ^^

d-demetori 2025-10-07 11:10

So cool! Nice claw physics, you can also check my claw machine game for this jam, hope you like it :D https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/58/claw-collect

Really awesome game! I got stuck when I got to the Legendary machine though. There was a toy already in that I could not pull out and then whenever I got new toys...they were blocked by that toy. I couldn't seem to proceed. :(. Maybe I missed something.

spaint 2025-10-07 13:13

@pschichtel Sorry, I don't think we can provide either :(

@protohere Yeah, we were surprised too when it worked! We only edited other people's models though, I'd have preferred to make them all myself, but there is just too little time...

@d-demetori Really cool! We were thinking about putting the toys into balls in case we couldn't place them as is, but it ended up working

@stuckne1 Added a hints section to the description, you can try nudging or resetting the machine. Glad you liked it anyways!

LET'S GO GAMBLING! Oh Damn it

flatgub 2025-10-08 02:56

Hey as an FYI, Windows Defender *really* doesn't like your game and considers it a "Trojan:Script/Wacatac.B!ml". Almost definitely a false positive (i'd hope) but I'm not sure if there's anything you can do about it?

spaint 2025-10-08 08:31

@flatgub Thanks for the information! Welp, it never triggered for anyone on the team, the only thing I can do for you is scan those files and swear on it. Which file specifically triggered it for you?

First slow burn game of this jam, as much I would've wanted to collect everything trying to get through all of the games really doesn't leave enough time to properly test everything. Atmosphere was nice but the gameplay was quite thin. The first collectibles didn't seem to give much but I sure hope they get a bit more valuable after a while.

wobbleblocks 2025-10-08 13:53

I like the rat! Impressive physics!! Great work!

They tried to stop me, but they couldn't. Great game, my be my favorite played so far in the jam. Being able to smack other machines while you control one to have some passive attempt at income is a neat idea. Great stuff.

eugenik 2025-10-09 01:09

Cool game, i like it :D :thumbsup:.

kinnerk 2025-10-09 01:15

Spent way more time playing this than I thought I would. Collectors be collecting, I guess. Kind of rage inducing finally getting something in my grasp and having it get flown away at the last second, but this is the nature things and one must accept.

remy-lopez 2025-10-09 21:27

Cool concept, the intro and musics are great ! :D So much work !

vadim-lyanka 2025-10-10 07:11

Fun game, I smiled a lot of times. Good work team

huihang 2025-10-10 13:39

Really a beatiful game. Quite well for a three days project.

100th-coin 2025-10-10 16:20

My goodness the 3D models for all the toys are fantastic. I recorded myself playing the game to provide extra feedback.

spaint 2025-10-10 17:18

@100th-coin Great feedback! Thanks for the video, it makes it a lot clearer how we can improve. More so, our team really enjoyed watching it and other videos on your channel, good job. The toy models are 3rd party, sadly, but I dream of having a dedicated 3D artist to fill that gap.

It's a real pity you got that random crash, we haven't had enough time to implement saves. I brutally beat up that LEGENDARY II for bullying you, hope that makes you feel better. Glad you had fun playing!

depression 2025-10-10 17:25

@100th-coin your reviews is what I live for now ❤️ Thx! :D

kro 2025-10-10 17:35

@100th-coin please continue making these videos, i'm now watching other stuff on your channel. Honestly, if the algorithm chooses you, you'd easily be a very solid gameplay-type youtuber like AlphaBetaGamer or ManlyBadassHero, etc. You're so easy to listen to, and the joke on Eugenic is pure gold. Thanks for your feedback!

I'm amazed by how well it captures the claw machining feel... The frustration... And the satisfaction. Very well done.

Sunday I'll take the game to my cousin who has the claw machine fever. Let's see what happens, I'll let you know.

In the meanwhile, congrats to the team! Amazing concept and execution.

dominic-graziano 2025-10-11 16:12

fun game, very addicting without emptying my wallet :-P

tayaksha 2025-10-11 20:34

@mestrerothld actually I have this kind of fever myself :D

I'll be waiting for your cousin's impression, hope they have a great time

Thank u so much!!! :З

matthewdrake 2025-10-12 18:59

Love this so much! There are few game jam games I'd keep installed after I'm done playing them to review them but I could see myself coming back to play this over and over until I have the full collection. Incredible amount of content for such a short time frame, congrats to the team! Hope you get a high ranking for this one.

custodi 2025-10-12 19:05

Great visual game, but imao too long. Required toys aren't immediately available in claw machines, only when you reset them. Shapes of toys on shelf aren't very clear, so it's not entirely clear what figures are missing. But game is vibrant and leaves very strong impression.

jojopalambas 2025-10-12 23:07

Awesome! Made me spend an unhealthy amount of time on that Claw.png

spaint 2025-10-12 23:22

@jojopalambas I guess we went a little overboard with the number of collectibles, ha-ha

yibirabbit007 2025-10-13 10:52

I decided to immediately share my love for claw machines with my teammates! This is amazing, the exquisitely crafted dolls can even attack the machine!! Hahahahaha!! (XD

zathnic 2025-10-17 00:56

Very accurate claw physics, and I love the vibe of the cellar you've created. Everything feels very cohesive! And there's even a way to get things unstuck without resetting the machine. Overall it feels like a really complete entry, good job
