You know howBalatromade you feel about Joker cards?

Well, this game wants to make you feel the same about claw machines.

It’s a terrible turn of events, frankly.

I’m sorry for inflicting yet another potential bingeplay upon you.

Here’s a trailer.

Specifically, he’s dropped it in the arcade’s most expensive claw machine.

Perhaps Morris’s spouse is the manager.

The moral of the story is: never let your spouse use a claw machine.

Like the soaring peregrine falcon, you must be discriminating yet swift.

All this is based on five minutes with Cupiclaw’s demo.

The only thing I dislike about it is the overtly repetitive music.

In that regard, at least, it’s no Balatro.

Guilty update: Did I write “first ever” claw machine roguelike?

I was forgetting aboutDungeon Clawler, out now in early access, whichNic covered in June.

I haven’t played that but as the name suggests, it’s more RPG-ish than Cupiclaw.

Thanks to Blookerstein for noticing.
