I think it needs a little bit of optimization, was really chunky and laggy in the browser.

Great concept, despite that!

Felt all the same frustrations I did trying to use the claw to grab toys as a kid. The Claw machine at my local mall also lagged when I walked up to it - perfect realism! Using old tech to pickup old tech is hilarious. This is top notch satire, and nice implementation. [SPOILIER] - sundials are in this game.

Hmm, okay, I see the idea, but it’s missing some things to make it fun.

I got 4 points, which I'm assuming is the world record

Hi, claw bugged and turned into a Y and never came to normal.

Using an old claw machine to pick up old tech is a funny take on the theme, and the claw frustration sounds all too familiar. Some optimization would help, but the concept is solid.

First: I'm very bad at it (I see the person above got 6, this 4 was my best attempt)

Second: You've got a typo there πŸ˜…

Someone said it was laggy but for me it was just the first few seconds (probably some stuff was loading), game worked fine after that.

First time I've actually won something on one of these machines πŸ˜…

Good physics, sometimes a bit laggy. Fun on-theme prices! Gameplay could have used some more polish.

(I also encountered the bug where the claw turns into a Y.)
