I got so annoyed by the loose crane! Who would have thought you even implement this into your game! Well played, well played. Jokes aside, this is a surprisingly nice game! The game itself is very polished and nicely done, the graphics are very cute. The gameplay resembles very closely to a real-life crane game machine, and I suspect one of the devs is a decent player. The pop-ups are a bit annoying, but that's probably what ties the game with the theme, so I am not going to complain about that. It works quite nicely as an obstacle in the insanely frustrating game.
For some suggestions, I'd say it would be nice to be able to change the angle of view a bit, so that it's a bit easier to aim for an item. Its currently very difficult to guess the depth of the crane, which leads to a lot of wrong crane placements. I'd also suggest moving the controls inwards a bit, as currently, it's not too responsive due to the game not detecting the mouse when outside the game window. For all the things that can go wrong, I don't think the controls should be one of them in this game.
Anyway, this is a very nice entry. I liked it a lot! Well done!
