Claw Descent is a physics claw machine where the prize is the bottom. Fly a spring-cable claw down a collapsing shaft, scoop up tumbling toys, and drop them into the wall chutes before your battery runs out.
Bank enough toys and the floor cracks open. Underneath are darker zones with heavier prizes and worse hazards, from the Plush Pit down through Capsule Works, The Guts, The Furnace and The Hoard. Every trip down is a fresh journey.
How to Play
Steer the claw, close the jaws on a toy, and fly it to a chute in the wall. A toy is worth nothing until it is banked. Every deposit pays coins and gives back a little battery, so a good run keeps paying for itself.
Bank enough on a floor and it breaks open. Ride it down.
Upgrades
Coins spend between runs across ten upgrade tracks and seventeen key unlocks.
- Battery buys you more time in the shaft.
- Grip strength holds heavier toys without slipping.
- Prong reach widens the grab, so clumps come up together.
- Key upgrades hand you whole new moves: the grapple hook, the ground pound, the magnet burst, time dilation and more.
- The headstart winch drops you in deeper, so you stop re-digging floors you have already beaten.
A few keys stay hidden until you bank the toy that unlocks them.
Tips and Tricks
- Scoop, don't pinch.The prongs work like a basket. Line up a clump of small toys and you can carry three or four in one trip.
- Bank early on a new floor. Each deposit refunds battery, so the first toy you cash in pays for the next dive.
- Heavy toys pay more and fight harder. A dense prize is worth a real premium, but it strains the claw and it will slip if your grip is weak.
- Watch the battery, not just the depth. A full claw and an empty battery scores nothing.
- Chase the toys you have never seen. New toys unlock hidden upgrades, and a new zone pays a one-time discovery bonus.
Daily Challenge
There is a new daily shaft every day, the same one for every player, with its own modifier and a live leaderboard. Take as many tries as you like. Your best run is the one that counts.
