One of our ideas in the brain dump was a horror game, but we picked something else. I'm still glad some people went into this angle, because I enjoyed the game, especially the art and vibes.

The gameplay barely changed or got harder though. At first I thought I would lose if the claw didn't grab a different toy and I had to bait the claw into grabbing at least something, but alas that's not a mechanic. I got caught mostly because I got tired of playing it, not because it got harder. Walking on toys is both annoying and super cool and it's a shame the machine got very empty late in the game.

I like it a lot! Great Game! 

AAAAAAAAAH i loved it, i get 174 but i think I can master this game. And is sooo cute, the monkey should be called Ramoncín !!!

I love how you twist it to horror genre, also very adorable artwork!
when will the merch come out? I want giraffy flushy ;)

The art direction and music choice here is so good! I really enjoyed the attention to detail, though I wish there were more levels or mechanics that happen as your score goes up. It is a bit easy though once you understand how the claw's AI works.

If you are interested, our team also produced a claw machine game for the jam that features a blue teddy bear, but unfortunately we missed the deadline by a slim margin. We would still appreciate feedback though! In this one you play as the machine itself. https://comfymittensamuel.itch.io/the-claws-of-victory
