The Amazing Claw Machine :- Teddy Edition. Use the claw to Collect Teddy bears, bunnies, cuddly puppies and stacks of other cute toys in this very special Teddy Bear edition of our Amazing Claw machine. We've all played those toy crane grabbing machines at the arcades, and usually walked away with no toys and no pennies either. No more, now you can play The Amazing Claw Machine on your phone or tablet. It won't cost you a penny and you can practise and tune your skills because this game is physics based and in 3D. Take into consideration claw angle, swing rate and rotation. Look around the machine using the swipe button, then carefully time your grab and with luck you'll be a winner. The game doesn't cheat, it wont just pick up a gift if it touches it, no the claw has to grab the items just right. As we said before its physics based, and as challenging as the real thing. There are plenty of soft toys to collect Cuddly Teddies, cute puppies, adorable bunnies, kittens, etc. So download The Amazing Claw Machine :- Teddy Edition, have a good practise then get off to the arcade and clean out the real thing :-)
