controls and lag took a bit to get used to, but I got the hang of it and managed to win a few prizes. I had assumed this game would offer either free or low cost shipping like most other crane games. BOY WAS I WRONG. When I checked the points required to mail my prizes, I misread the total thinking it was 1,090 so about $10usd. Not bad all things considered, so I purchased the extra points only for it to tell me I had insufficient funds. Turns it wants 10,900 so about $100usd!! No thank you!

Easier to play than Toreba. The cost to play is comparable. The claw machines are in better shape and have stronger claws. However, the variety of prizes is a little worse than Toreba. You get very few "free" points - 5 iCP per day, when the average machine costs maybe 180 iCP, so you would get one single free play every 36 days. It will likely take you 5-20 plays to win a prize, so that's basically worthless. Despite the lack of ways to win free plays, because the machines are easier to win than Toreba, it may still be worth it to put some money in. However, there are a few "gotchas" that made this game not worth playing for me! The first one is: if you are playing the machine, and close to winning, but you run out of iCP, you will lose your claim on the machine while you are refilling your points. Several times, I got a prize close to winning, then lost it to someone else while refilling points! Additionally it will cost you iCP to ship prizes. (To ship 1 prize to California, the cost was 1000 iCP, which is about $10 USD.) And here's the part they don't tell you: THEY WILL ONLY HOLD YOUR PRIZE FOR TWO WEEKS. If you fail to ship it by then, it's gone, and no refunds. Robbery!

The claw machines are good.......when they work. I spent about $16 dollars on points and I would say about half that was wasted on missed opportunities, because the camera delay froze so the claw ended up moving too much or not enough. I get that they are based in Japan but man common y'all got to get some better servers and translate more of the app into English. If the lag issue is fixed this would be bar non my favorite claw game I've found so far and I would update to 5 stars.
