How did you incorporate the given theme in your game?
This game was inspired by the browser games of my childhood, as well as my more modern addictions such as Love and Deepspace (claw machine date). But mostly honestly I was a little moody when theme was announced and was crying cause I still haven't triggered the Claw Machine mini game in Umamusume: Pretty Derby, saw the theme of "Collect them All" and thought, I'll just make a claw machine mini game myself!

Chill game! I recognize some of these silly guys!
Very charming concept, I do think it would have benefitted from a level select and it was a bit laggy when there were multiple plushies on screen (especially 3rd level), but very fun game and loved getting the collection and the display shelf!
Fun and cute! I liked when the claw didn't grab anything, just like a real life claw machine A+
The little bok choy is the cutest, I want one in real life.
I like that you were motivated to make this game for yourself because another game was rudely withholding its claw machine minigame from you. Next time I'm frustrated by something I want in a game I'm playing, I'm going to remember that I can make it for myself :)
I thought this was very charming and I liked the art!
Super simple and cute! I like that you can look at all the plushies you got and squeeze them to make a squeak sound hehe
A simple and cute game. I love the art and music. The claw is a little wonky sometimes as to whether it actually picks up a toy or not, but that might intentional so if if is points for realism.
Simplicity always is the best. I miss the feeling of claw machines and this game helped me feel it again
where is bunleng and senghok
Haha that was fun, great concept! And unlike the real machines they don't fall out of your claw when they're being carried to the collection bin so there's always a prize. Music is very adorable too and very well fitting. Liked the little sauce bottle dudes the most!
Haha thanks! I actually couldn't figure out a drop mechanic in the time we had so i actually put in different "strengths" to the claw's grab via a variety of sensors it can pull, so that there is still some chance of failure like a real machine. But that does mean once you actually grab it You're set unlike a real machine that can betray you 2 inches from the prize catch lol
i like it! the plush designs are very cute
my only complaint is that sometimes the claw machine doesn't pick up the plush when you're right on top of it (but maybe that adds to the realism of claw machines deciding you don't actually deserve a prize?)
I couldn't figure out a drop mechanic so i actually put in different "strengths" to the claw's grab. It can randomly pull of of 3 different sensor sizes at time of grab. One basically doesn't exist, one is tiny and one is fair sized and can sometimes grab 2 plushies. So depending how you align the plush and what sensor it pulls it has a chance of failure like a real machine but luckily since i didn't have time to figure out how to make them drop early once you've grabbed it you're golden lol.
The music is so cute!! I loved it, great job <33
I loved the art, claw machines are my favourite!
