How does the game fit the theme?
The game fits the theme “Risk It For The Biscuit” as it follows the concept of a desperate father who takes his chances of spending his limited budget on crane games in hopes that providing gifts to his distant daughter will make up for his absence in her life. As levels continue, his desperation grows as she loses interest.
What code and assets did you not make from scratch during the jam (if any)?
All code and most of the user interface and art assets were created completely from scratch during the game jam. However, the main menu consists of an image that was downloaded from Unsplash (image by Bach Nguyen) and photoshopped to match the game’s style. Along with this, royalty free background music and sound effects were used to provide audio for our game.

Good design with the little thought bubbles on the claws to quickly inform the player what they do. Well done!
Very well made game. Art is amazing, game looks great. I liked that the game is small, but tells a story
Great art style, a good choice of soundtrack, and a simple but overall really nice game :)
Great art style and an addicting sound track. I like that there is a goal for a prize each time and you need to decide whether to spend money on a decent hook for a better prize or keep going. Nice idea!
Love the charming art style, the hand shifting with the controls was a smooth touch. And I'm always a sucker for a claw machine. It did seem very easy but it was relaxing to play. I lost once, accidentally spending all my coins when I was trying to figure out the upgrades. But the gameplay was smooth. Cute game, great work!
10/10 claw machine and cute art
0/10 ungrateful daughter
Really charming entry! the art and music create a cozy, nostalgic vibe that fits the claw machine theme perfectly.
Nice sim! I was way more lucky here than in my tries in real life.
The game for some reason open no in a full frame mode and occupies just the part of the dedicated area. Also some SFX when you catch / loose the toy may make the game feel better.
Very cute art, but I didn’t understand how this fit the theme or if there was any challenge? My first run through one toy dropped after picking it up. If we fill the heart three times and get the sad looking “Goodbye dad” screen at the end… is that winning? Unsure what was going on gameplay wise. Art was super adorable and I liked the music choice!
the art and music are AMAZING, though I really wish there was some SFX, the gameplay is smooth and feels good though a bit too easy Imo that just going for the farthest one constantly isn’t even that risky. overall nice entry!
Much easier than the real thing.
Game did not fill the whole window for me.
I really enjoyed this one! I loved the designs and the movement of the claw itself was nice and smooth. Now seeing the game theme concept behind the scenario, I wish I could have seen that more in the game itself or in its mechanics, since I find it to be a compelling story hook. Overall, you guys did really great.
Some really nice touches with the visuals. I love the attention to detail with the hands on the crane control and button press. When some objects fell they fell over each other allowing for two to be picked up with the claw - don't know if this was intended or not! If so, it could be expanded into a whole new mechanic for the game.
Love the visuals! Really cute game!
The visuals are so cute and pretty!
Very cute looking game! The mechanic is interesting and I lied the different types of claws. The gameplay falls a bit flat after the first game loop. I would love to see this game expanded upon. Other than that well done!
Cute game! I loved the different stuffed animals
cute! love the stuffies
Very cute and fun! love the theme
I love the art
I like the art. I did find that pressing 'x' and 'c' did things that I think were for debugging but aren't supposed to be in it anymore.
Oops haha, I'll have to remember to make a proper checklist of finishing touches
