## What is ClawSim?

A Taiwanese claw machine in your pocket! Claw strength, cable swing, plush weight and slipperiness are all simulated with real-time physics. Just like a real machine, it takes skill to win.

TWO MACHINES
• Guaranteed machine: on the 15th play since the last prize, the claw holds all the way, just like the "guaranteed prize" machines in Taiwanese arcades. You get one chance: miss it and the count starts over.
• Practice machine: free to play with a strong claw. Get a feel for the controls and the swing.

REAL CLAW MACHINE SKILLS
• The claw swings like a pendulum when the gantry starts and stops. Push the joystick in rhythm to swing it out and reach plushes by the wall.
• Land on top of a plush and the claw gets pushed aside. Grab too close to the edge and it slips. Aim for the center of mass.
• Switch to the side view to judge depth and find the best spot to drop.

COLLECT AND TRADE
• Bear, bunny, cat, frog, chick and whale: collect all six to complete your collection and earn 50 coins.
• Trade plushes from the guaranteed machine for coins and keep playing.
• Earn titles like First Catch, Claw Pro, Claw Master and Collector.

COINS
• New players get 6 coins, plus 5 more every day.
• Trade the plushes you win for coins, and get 50 more for completing your collection.
• The game uses virtual coins only. They can't be bought with real money or exchanged for money or real prizes.

Plays offline. Your progress stays on your phone.
