Algodoo

The claw falls under it's own weight. I don't know if you designed it that way, but I think it would be better to allow the player to control all movements of the claw. Other than that, the game works well and is challenging.


Here's a stacking type game that I made a few months ago: Electromagnet Game V2

Thank you very much for trying out my game. I tried to make it the way you suggested but I couldn't figure it out. I then decided it does make it more challenging, plus I can make the claw drop with a push of a button like a real claw machine. The game you posted looks great , I wanted to make something just like it, but couldn't figure it out lol.

Yes, I recall playing a claw machine when I was a kid, and you are right that the claw drops down at the push of a button (that's how the machine owners screw so many people who try to beat the machine! )

I'm glad that you like my game. I am the kind of Algodoo'er who makes most of his games using Thyme scripting. I love to program, and this gives me the opportunity to express my creativity in that manner. I am not very talented with mechanical devices and assemblies like a lot of Algodoo users are, and so I have to rely a lot on Thyme scripting to make things do what I want them to do!

Thanks!

I wanted to add a timer (sorry I'm a newb), I can complete it in 2 minutes. If you can complete it in that time then you have a good grasp of the controls. I tried to keep this as simple as possible to make it more difficult, and so it can run smoothly. My next version will have a timer for sure

Version 2 is here:

I changed some of the colours, and to make it much more challenging I added a timer, and a moving wall.
