### 3/5 — Great but doesn't save progress 😭

*2025-09-07*

I'd really enjoy playing this game if it saved my progress and I'd be able to log into an account and save it. But I just don't play these series of games enough to want to keep them on my phone and so when I try reinstalling them after I deleted them all of my progress is gone and then the game kind of feels meaningless to me because I have to start all over from scratch! But the actucal mechanics of the game is soo fun! 😎

**Developer response:** Sorry — we can’t afford cloud saving, and we also prefer not to collect user data like email addresses. But we’ve kept the app size as small as possible, so if you don’t mind keeping it in a little corner of your phone, we’d be very grateful.

### 5/5 — 草はえたww

*2025-08-21, version 1.19.020*

👏🏻👏🏻👍👍

### 5/5 — The game is a great time passer

*2025-06-25*

This game is a good time passer for car trips and waiting in a waiting room. Sometimes you forget you are even waiting!

**Developer response:** Thanks! Hope you don’t miss your stop.

### 5/5 — DOWNLOAD OF YOU LOVE CLAW MACHINES!!!

*2025-06-25*

I’ve always loved claw machines, but since I couldn’t do them at an actual place all the time, I thought, ‘why not online?’ I swear- everywhere I go, it’s always, ‘buy tokens!’ Or, ‘we’ll deliver it to you!’  || I knew that the idea of online claw machines kinda sounded desperate and stupid so I never brought it up with my parents, but this changed everything. I’ve always wondered if someone out there would make a claw machine game for fun, where you don’t actually win anything. Although, I wish some of the claw games or maybe even a different mode had a regular claw with 3 prongs, not a UFO catcher, and a regular moving system where you can use a joystick or arrows snd move it as much as you want (maybe a timer). Still, I love this game and have many others downloaded on my phone. I wish there were more types of claw machines in each game or maybe it’s own separate game, like a claw pushed (with a platform or stair of some sort and a UFO and moving system like this game but you have to push it in with one claw). I definitely recommend this game and many others! please don’t take these recommendations too harsh and just use or *tweak* some things knowing this information. You don’t have to use it, but I’m just throwing it out as ideas :3

**Developer response:** We’re really happy that our game concept matches your taste. Thanks for all the suggestions — we’ll keep them in mind for future development. (Just a quick note about the two-prong claw: if we used three, it wouldn’t be able to grab prizes larger than the claw itself!)

### 5/5 — 入れたらわかる

*2025-05-24, version 1.19.002*

楽しいし広告短いし日本語あるよ！

### 5/5 — ヘナッヘナ

*2025-05-18*

ヘナッヘナでヘナッヘナ、本当にヘナッヘナ

**Developer response:** ありがとうございます！全力でへなへなに作ってます。

### 5/5 — おもしろへなへな水族館

**Developer response:** ありがとう！　空き時間のお役に立てて幸いです。

### 4/5 — W claw machine game

**Developer response:** ❤

### 5/5 — 可愛い😍

*2025-01-17, version 1.18.100*

ぬいぐるみが可愛い

### 5/5 — Good game

*2025-01-07*

This game is so good. It has not a lot of ads.

**Developer response:** Thanks! We try hard to keep ads to a minimum. (But please watch a few!)

### 5/5 — Good game

*2025-01-02*

It is so fun to play I love claw machines and this is also relaxing

**Developer response:** Thanks! Hope you keep enjoying it for a long time.

### 5/5 — めっちゃ楽しい！

*2024-11-14*

最初はなんだこれと思って入れたけど、コレはハマる笑アプリのクレンゲームって簡単だから楽しくなさそうと思ってたけど、わか意外と難しくて、練習にもなるからおすすめです！たまに広告が出てくるのまですが、5秒の広告だけで、めっちゃ楽しいです！

**Developer response:** ありがとう！　たくさん練習して、ゲーセンで無双できるよう願ってます。

### 5/5 — 最高です

*2024-08-29*

これをプレイしたら鬱が治りました。

**Developer response:** うれしいお言葉、ありがとうございます。これからも気分転換のお供になれたら幸いです。

### 4/5 — んー

*2024-08-12*

これはどうなんでしょうか，，，もう少し、量を増やし，その魚(？)ごとに変え、図鑑的にしたら，もっと面白いのではないでしょうかね，，図鑑だったら、作るの大変かもですが，もっと楽しくなると思います。あと，広告で，コインをゲットする時，もう少しだけ，増やして欲しいです(コインの数)
　図鑑の意見はいいと思うのは私だけでしょうか、製作者さん、回答お待ちしております。

**Developer response:** ❤

### 4/5 — 楽しい！！

*2024-08-09*

本物みたいに確率機ではないですがふにゃふにゃしているので取れにくかったりします！
コインもトレーニングで取れるのでコインの回復時間とかは気にせずできます。めちゃめちゃハマってるので是非試してみて下さい！💓

**Developer response:** ❤

### 1/5 — 掴めない

*2026-04-27, version 1.20.000*

無理

### 1/5 — Next time Try better

*2025-02-17*

This game sucked so much. It made me cry multiple times.

**Developer response:** 🙇

### 1/5 — 起動しない

*2022-06-16, version 1.11.200*

バージョンアップしてから起動しなくなった

### 1/5 — Stupid

*2019-08-24*

This game is a joke. It never lets you get a prize and it is way too expensive. I hate this stupid app and don’t recommend it to ANYONE. 😡😡😡😡😡😡😡 I spent 10 minutes trying to get a damn squid. Remove this game

**Developer response:** 😢

### 1/5 — 怖い

*2018-07-10, version 1.00.010*

目は...動かなくても…
リアルでぬいぐるみを取っているというよりいじめている感じがする...😢

### 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。

### 2/5 — Don’t like

*2025-05-20*

The game is so hard.

**Developer response:** 🙇

### 2/5 — デベロッパさん正気？日本人？(失礼だけど)

*2025-05-07*

ゲームは楽しいですが成人向け広告だから消すと言う意見に絵文字だけ？ちゃんと「分かりました出来るだけ」等日本語でお願いします。きっと私の質問にも絵文字だけでしょうね(苦笑)

**Developer response:** 申し訳ございません。弊社は非常に小さな開発会社で、レビューに文章で返信させていただくための人的リソースがございません。もちろん皆様のレビューにはすべて目を通し、心よりの感謝とともに開発の参考にさせていただいております。せめてものお礼の気持ちをお伝えしたく、絵文字での返信をさせていただいております次第です。ご理解賜れますと幸甚です。

### 2/5 — 普通

*2024-06-28*

そこまで良く無い

**Developer response:** 😢

### 2/5 — 難しい

*2022-09-24, version 1.12.000*

子供が出来るようにと思ってダウンロードしたが難しすぎる。広告を見続けないとだめ。結局コインがないと楽しめない。もう少し簡単にしてほしい。

### 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！

### 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.

### 5/5 — So cute game

*2025-10-04*

I love your design and moving ui!!!
Can't you post game music on a music site? Like Spotify? I like the song because it's so cute. Please!!

**Developer response:** Thanks for liking the design! The music used in this game actually comes from a royalty-free CD we purchased long ago, so it’s not ours to redistribute on platforms like Spotify. However, we’ve used other parts of the same music in videos on our YouTube channel — feel free to check it out if you’re interested: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC3H0V3ZOVplRnEA92MUdznw/videos
