A game about moving collecting the world with a claw machine game!

For some reason this game looks a lot better downloaded then on itch. So if you feel like it, the exe is in the download called crane.zip. If not the itch page version still plays just as well!

Great idea! The claw’s physics feel a bit odd, but it actually works. it even drops its loot just like real ones do!

I’m requesting a refund because the sofa didn’t stay in the claw!

This game really captures the addictive fun of claw machines. Some objects are super tricky to get inside the claw, but that’s part of the excitement!

I noticed a clever (re-)use of your assets in the menu. That’s the ultimate way to make the most of your time!

This is a really solid Compo entry!

A nice little quirky game. The claw is as fickle as a real life one would be and I liked the music getting slightly discordant. There are all kinds of things to find if you keep going to the edges of the world, I even found a legendary item :D

Great game, great theme interpretation. Enjoyed a lot.

It was a bit confusing to realize that there are more items to collect outside of viewport — needed to walk around.

I love that all the tings you collect are just added to the pile! Cool graphics, and the sfx/graphics/music all fit very well together.

It's a great game. I really liked the mechanics and the fact that objects shake while you're carrying them.
I advise you to add objects to the environment and in the future add a collection of things that can be placed in your apartment.
Good luck, you're cool!

Cool game !
The physic's kinda weird sometime, like the claw had some stickyness that can grab anything in contact.
I'm not a big fan of claw machine IRL, so I wasn't the target here, but it's fun to try to grab things that you usualy don't find in them.

Nice style and funny gameplay. Liked the descriptions of collected items. But getting angry when claw is losing item, like in real life!

Really beautiful art-style! I'm impressed how many objects you made! My favorite was the eye, reminded me of my game! :smile:

I had a lot of frustra- I mean fun with the unexpectedly realistic claw physics. The art style is nice to look at (and the physics-based sound design is pretty solid too, no pun intended)

Cute game :D Endearing artstyle, non-invasive music, frustrating yet fun physics :D Well done!

Really cool and fun game. The physics were a bit against me sometimes and watching the empty, retreating claw was a bit frustrating. But overall it was good!

The minimalist art style complements the gameplay, creating an immersive atmosphere. Well done!
