Bearadise Claw brings the arcade claw machine home to iPhone and iPad with real swing, tension, prize wiggle, and the occasional slip on the way to the chute. Insert a coin, move the joystick, and time your drop to grab stuffed prizes before the clock runs out. Choose from a growing set of themes and prize pools, starting with jungle animals and expanding into ocean, desert, city, suburb, Detroit, airport, camping, and electronics store scenes. Each theme has its own look and its own stuffed prizes, from familiar animals to everyday objects turned into plush rewards. Turn on competitive mode for a 30-second score chase with a local high score board stored on the device. Difficulty settings range from easy to scam, letting you tune the machine from forgiving to ruthless. A secret Bearadise Claw bonus can occasionally tighten the grab at exactly the right moment for a dramatic double prize. Built for both iPhone and iPad in portrait or landscape, Bearadise Claw is designed for quick play, repeat attempts, and a full arcade feel.
