Written Android App Review
There’s something about the shiny bright sheen of a clawed prize machine that just makes us want to empty our pockets in pursuit of the elusive stuffed toys and fun located in the bottom.
If you shudder thinking about all the quarters you’ve lost to these gleaming Meccas of chance, you might want to try the Prize Claw Android app from Game Circus. It’s all the fun of prize machines with a much smaller investment.
Gameplay
Prize Claw
The Prize Claw Android app takes the idea of grabbing prizes with metal pinchers to a whole other level with bonuses, boosts, puzzles, upgrades, multiple machines and a series of missions sure to keep you engaged.
There is a minimal tutorial that helps you figure out how to control the claw, where to check on collections, etc. But it is not all inclusive. If you want to learn how to get the most out of the Prize Claw Android app you’re gonna have to go exploring.
Extras aside, there is a certain rush associated with the simple act of maneuvering a shiny claw and watching it dip into a bin of prizes. That thrill is definitely part of the game. The extras are neat, but don’t always feel necessary.
Unfortunately there is not a limitless supply of grabs. You can either purchase packages of grabs or wait for them to regenerate. I prefer the second option because it keeps you from burning out on the game quickly, which is quite a smart move.
User Interface
Prize Claw
The game UI in Prize Claw is a lot of fun. You literally use a joystick, just like you would with a real prize machine. Boosts, level info, energy and coin counts are located on the right side of the screen. The left keeps track of your grab history. The more you grab the higher this gauge goes.
Combine those on screen options with a couple menus at the bottom of the screen, and you’ve got one busy screen. There’s a lot going on here. A little streamlining would be great, but I think the chaotic feeling is right in line with the app’s lively mood.
Functionality
Thanks to a few recent fixes, the Prize Claw Android app works like a charm. Sure, it’s still challenging but so is the real world version of this game, so it’s no big surprise.
It’s a bit confusing to navigate all the app’s options and mini games, but they all work well. I have no functionality complaints. Prize Claw is a solid app.
Value
Best of all? The Prize Claw Android app is free to download and play. With a little bit of patience you won’t have to pay a thing to enjoy all this app has to offer. This might require a little bit of patience, so if you’re in a hurry this might not be the app for you.
You can’t beat the nostalgic flavor of Prize Claw. I’m a big fan.
