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.
