Fig. 1 — Tiny Claw Game: Gentle pretend claw machine game for kids · Click to enlarge (original colour)

Tiny Claw Game is a calm pretend claw machine for children: move the claw left, right, forward, back and drop. Won toy characters go onto shelves, and kids can arrange them in a playroom whose layout is saved on the device. Misses carry no penalty – no timers, coins or lives.

The “Plush Picnic” machine is free. One $4.99 purchase adds nine more themed machines for a ten-machine arcade; purchase and restore run through Apple behind a grownup check. The developer states there are no third-party ads, no analytics or behavioral tracking, no child account or chat, and that progress and preferences are stored locally on the device. Sound, haptic and Reduced Motion options are included.

Why no subscription? The developer explicitly rules out subscriptions, consumable coins, paid retries and loot boxes – just the single unlock purchase.
