I recommend this game to those that enjoyed the train scene in Spirited Away.

Claws, tokens, boats and buckets

A claw machine

I can't help but be charmed by Clawfish but I'm having trouble explaining why. It's such an odd concept, but I appreciate its simplicity and its consistent cel-shaded presentation, and I'm a sucker for concise yet complete experiences.
