Improvements Needed – Claw Machine Game Toreba Live! Review

After having this app installed in my phone for about a year, I’d like to start off by saying this is a game which requires self control. I feel that the reason 5 star and 1 star reviews are split so evenly is because there’s the people who don’t have any self control, or children who don’t have money, and people who have self control and or money. I don’t think this is a child’s app and should not be recommended as such, as it would be something a child would easily waste their parents money on. However with self control it is an enjoyable app. Long ago I did win something with a free play ticket, and it is possible to win, but you need to know your way around claw machines. You need to be wise about the shape of the item, the shape of the claw, and the tips of the claw. If the tips of the claw are metal anything you attempt to pick up will likely slide out, not because the claw is weak but because metal tips do not provide enough support for many items. Look for machines with rubber tip claws, these are easier to win in real life and in a game such as this. Also avoid very large items, or oddly shaped items. Choose round items, this is easier for claws to pick up. Now for the developers: I believe just the same as other claw machines, this is rigged, however I’m not upset about it. Though if you are going to have this as a 4+ game, then you should be adding rubber tips to all claws to give more odds to the players that are younger and more inexperienced with claw machines. Also I believe that when you pay for a session or use a ticket for session, you should be able to attempt to grab the item until the time runs out. I believe that having to pay again even though there is still a clock is a bit rude. Most machines which continue to count after the claw has already descended so this because you can continue to try until the timer runs out. Adding rubber tips is an inexpensive way and the odds of people winning is not going to increase so drastically to the point that you will lose out on money. If anything you will gain more loyal customers because you are showing that you actively want players to win and come back to play more. I hope you read this and consider it. I feel it would bring many of the one star reviews up.
