Cool concept! definitely haven't seen anything like this one, good job!
This game is super funny, I really like it.
This is very well done! You have a great theme going on here, and I love the physics of how the teddy bear interacts with the claw. I also made a claw machine game for the jam in Godot with a couple friends (that we sadly weren't able to submit in time), and this is inspiring me to think about updating some of our prize objects to be a bit more dynamic, and incorporate ragdoll collisions like yours do. If you ever make some future updates, I think I would like to see a bit more character put into the bears possibly by giving them faces and having them scream or something when they get grabbed. There's a lot of potential!
If you do have any interest in checking out our slightly late (and still unfinished) game, you can find it here: The Claws of Victory
There's been a bunch of claw games this jam which puts a smile on my face. I checked out your game and found the gameplay quite fun and looks really well polished! It's sad that you weren't able to submit on time. :(
Thanks for trying it out, we really appreciate it! We're most likely going to be pushing some updates for the Post-Jam Jam that's happening this weekend up until the end of July, and then possibly beyond that point too.
Creepy stuff ! Love it! great Game!
"drag your teddybody around and prevent the evil children from taking your friends." That is not a sentence I expected to hear today 😛
This is such a bizarre game concept, but it works surprisingly well! Great art, lots of polish, and a weird spooky vibe (my favorite kind of vibe). Excellent work!
I think the idea of running from the claw is definitely a really strong one, it reminded me a bit of Toy Story with the claw machine scenes. I'm really impressed with the visuals and audio here! The music was super groovy and felt true to the mood of the game, and the crane sound effects were spot on too. I really liked the lighting too and the crane itself felt well done, as the arm that attaches to the claw gives off an ominous feeling for sure.
While playing your game, I ran into a few snags that I wanted to mention here so you knew about them! There was one instance where the claw seemed to drop into the deposit bin and then disappeared. I think the score went up when it happened, maybe its a bug where the claw can be detected and had .queue_free() called on itself?
I had two instances also where I accidentally flung the highlighted bear right under the camera such that I wasn't able to grab it anymore. It may have been due to my resolution, but may be a soft-lock sort of situation.
All in all, I'm impressed with what you got done in just one weekend! I think there's an impressive amount of polish here, and the details like having the light be mounted to the claw really added to the experience. I'd love to see what you make next!
