Creative idea. Simple to understand. I feel like you can build on this and make a bigger game.
Really cool idea for a horror game! I got two figures on my first claw until I realized they were the wrong ones haha
This is great! I can see this being a part of a haunted arcade.
Seems like this would work as part of a larger game and would be an interesting puzzle in an adventure setting!
This is a cute little game, but I don’t currently feel it works as a standalone title! In fact, it almost feels more appropriate to be a mini-game!
However, I will admit that it worked well, seemed polished, and overall is solid! If there was a Polish rating, you would get 5/5! Congrats!
Hey, thanks a lot for your comments! It does feel more appropiate to be a minigame, though it currently lacks some extra gameplay I wanted to add later. I really appreciate that you think it's polished too, I try to focus on that aspect!
Fun little game. I wish I was this good at claw machines in real life. One slight quibble though: sometimes the toy the unknown entity wants is buried under other toys, making that playthrough unwinnable. The toys are cute and the monster is not though, so good job :D
Thanks a lot for playing the game and for your comments! You should be able to catch any toy since the machine just goes through until the end, but I'll make sure to review that behavior so that it's clear in the future or make the mistakes less punishing (they're not instant loss, which some people seem to have understood).
