### 2/5 — ちょっとイライラする。

*2026-07-24*

アームの角度が変わったり、商品が丸かったりしたら良いんですけど、アームと魚の向きが一緒だと一生取れなくてイライラします。普通の魚は厚みが大きくて全然取れません。アームの角度を変えられる仕組みがほしいです。それか三本爪にするとか

**Developer response:** ご意見ありがとうございます。
角度変更や三本爪へのリクエストはこれまでも幾度か頂戴したのですが、
角度変更：操作が複雑になるのと、難易度を上げる必要があるため気楽に遊べなくなる
３本爪：クレーンより大きな景品を掴めなくなり、戦略性を損なうおそれがある
などの理由から、見送らせていただいております。大変申し訳ございません。

### 5/5 — めっちゃへなへな

*2026-06-07*

思ったよりへなへなしてて可愛かったのと、アームのパワーがちょうど良くてめっちゃハマる！

**Developer response:** 嬉しいご感想ありがとうございます！
へなへな感と難易度調整には特に力を入れて作りました。末永くお付き合いいただけますと幸甚です。

### 5/5 — 楽しい

*2026-04-29, version 1.20.000*

毎日やってます！楽しいです！

### 1/5 — 掴めない

*2026-04-27, version 1.20.000*

無理

### 5/5 — 広告ゲームだけど……

*2026-02-13*

広告の質が基本的に良いのと、短いのとで全然気にならない。
ただ、たまに違法アプリ(キャラクター丸パクリ中華ゲー)なども混じってくるので、そこだけは注意が必要。
まぁ審査通してる方がおかしいので、ゲーム自体に問題があるわけじゃないんですけどね。

ゲームについては、掴むとぐにょんぐにょんに動くぬいぐるみの魚をUFOキャッチャーで取っていくだけというシンプルなもの。
重心がどこにあるのかひっくり返りまくりで全然掴めないマグロ(小)にイライラさせられながら遊んでいます。
でも取れると嬉しいじゃん？

**Developer response:** 嬉しいご感想ありがとうございます。小さな景品の取りづらさは改善しようと長年頑張っているのですが…引き続いて研究を進めて参ります！　広告の内容については返す言葉もございません。どうかご容赦ください。

### 5/5 — たのしい

*2025-12-22*

なんじゃこりゃとか思ってたけど　案外楽しい

**Developer response:** ありがとうございます！　これからも楽しく遊んでいただけるよう、頑張ってまいります。弊社の他のゲームもよろしく！

### 5/5 — AWESOME!

*2025-12-03*

I have all the Claw Machine apps! These games are truly skill based like real claw machines should be! If you know how to grab the prize you have a greater chance at winning. And the best part, new types of prizes are added every so often. GREAT GAME! Gets my claw machine itch. Sad I dont get real prizes. But I still really love it. If you like claw machine games get this. The ads are one of the only downsides. But you can skip almost immediately. Plus you can pay a small single time fee to remove the ads which I plan on doing at some point.

Edit: I would absolutely love a share feature, to share plushies won. Im wanting to document my journey to winning all plushies in the game and it would make it more streamlined to just share the plushie card instead of screenshotting. 

A total won number on each “info Card” would also be nice, to keep track of how many total of the certain plushies was won. As well as a total won, for the total won all together.

**Developer response:** Thank you so much for the amazing review — and for playing all our claw machine apps! It really means a lot to hear that you enjoy the skill-based gameplay and look forward to the new prizes.
We also really appreciate your suggestions about the share feature and total win counters — those ideas are smart and well thought-out. We’ve taken note of them for future updates.
Thanks again for your support, and good luck collecting every plushie!

### 5/5 — 楽しみ

*2025-11-22*

毎日新しい魚が増えて図鑑に記録されていくのが楽しみで毎日やってます！他のクレーンゲームアプリと違って練習モードでコインを使わずにできるのがすごくいいです！ですが一度取ったら売って0個になっても図鑑に残るようにしていただければ嬉しいです☺️

**Developer response:** 毎日遊んでいただけて光栄です！　ぬいぐるみを全部売ってしまうと図鑑からもいなくなってしまうのは、ひねくれ老人のちょっとしたイジワル…というか、昔風のゲーム設計ですよね。ご意見重く受け止め、将来の改善を前向きに検討させていただきます。これからもよろしく！

### 5/5 — I love the game!

*2025-10-17*

I know it’s hard but I keep trying and I also played some of your games before.

**Developer response:** Thanks for sticking with it — and for playing our other games too! We're really glad you're enjoying it.
