Claw Island
Build a monster, one claw at a time.
A claw machine on tiny floating islands. Steer the crane, drop the claw, fish out the prizes and get them down the hatch. This Halloween every island you clear gives you a piece of your very own Frankenstein.
Grab it dead centre
Every island hides a few treasures among the junk. Line the claw up, drop it, and hope the grip holds. Grab something off-centre and it wobbles in the claw, then slips. Drop the wrong thing down the hatch and it costs you.
Bats flutter about, skeleton crabs scuttle, ghosts drift through walls, and on the ice nothing ever quite stops.
Every hatch has a lock
Before anything goes down the hatch you have to get it open, and no two islands do it the same way.
- Tombstone bells. They chime a tune. Ring them back in the same order.
- The cauldron. Drop in the recipe. It spits the wrong things back out at you.
- The pumpkin scale. Two pumpkins, and their carved pips have to match the counterweight.
- Frankenstein's key. Carry it to the padlock while he stomps after the claw. He naps, eventually.
- Lasers and mirrors. Turn the claw to aim the mirrors and bounce the beam into the crystal.
- The big red button. Find something heavy. Drop it on the button.
It's alive!
Clear an island and you win a body part from a random monster: a werewolf's head, a mummy's arm, a slime's leg, a cyclops's horn. Ten islands, ten pieces. No two Frankensteins come out the same.
Give yours a name, spin it around on its little stand, and share the picture with your friends.
A few more things
Booster packs. Tear one open after each island for double points, double speed, or an instant catch that snaps onto whatever is under the claw.
A tune for every island. The Monster Waltz on a music box in the pumpkin patch, a creaky organ in the vampire castle, a wobbly theremin in the lab. Classic islands get their own song, Island Hop.
Classic islands. The original ten are one tap away: a meadow of cuccos with a grumpy guard, a beach with a diamond crab in the tide pool, a candy land where everything bounces, a volcano, a castle in the clouds.
One more drop. Then bed.
