You’ve been locked up in the basement by your mom cuz of your gambling addiction. But little does she knows there are arcade machines down there. It’s time to hit some scores and collect all the toys these funny, buzzing machines have to offer.

Controls

ESC - Pause

WASD - Move

Space - Jump

Ctrl, C - Crouch

F - Interact

LMB, Q - Hit (after buying an upgrade)

RMB - Rotate item (with item in hands)

Mouse Wheel - Drag item (with item in hands)

1, 2 - Swap claws (interacting with the machine)

Hints

You can leave the machine running at any time (even when the play has started) to get the best view or do something else.

Try hitting the machines, it does something useful! Even more useful if you've unlocked multiple machines.

There are multiple different claws, but at the start you only have one (buttons to swap claw do nothing in that case)

Machines have more valuable toys depending on the machine rarity (buy them!)

Knock on the door!

There is an ending when you finish your collection.

If any toys get stuck or machine gets inoperable in some other way - use PUNCH, KICK, GUN (or just reset the machine, but that's boring)

If you don't really like the grind ask Big Cheese for help.

Have fun!

Changelog

v1 - Initial version, you probably should use this one for rating.

v2 - Replaced some definitely-not-copyrighted™©®℗ sprites, optimized size and performance a bit, fixed some collision problems, fixed a couple of visual bugs. Nothing groundbreaking changed or fixed, no features added, but still, keep that in mind if you’re playing it for the first time.
