Movie Theater

Crane Game

Inside the lobby is a Crane Game machine. Players can play the Crane Game for data-sort-value="500">500g to win prizes. There is a 25% chance that the Crane Game will be occupied by a man, and unplayable. The Crane Game is always occupied after watching a movie.

After paying to play, the player has 3 chances to grab a prize. There is a 15-second timer for each attempt, which begins when the player first moves the crane. Successfully grabbing a prize on chance 1 or 2 does not end the game. Each time the player pays for a new game, the prizes will be randomized.

The first movement is horizontal, and places the crane (right-arrow on keyboard). The second movement is vertical, and drops the crane (down-arrow on keyboard). The crane will drop to the position of its shadow, which can be controlled by holding the down-arrow. Once the down-arrow button is released, the crane will drop. When the crane reaches its shadow, it will stop and grab any prize at that location.

The crane may drop the prize on its way to the collection chute at the left. The further away from the chute the item is, and the less firm the crane's grasp on the item is, the more likely it is to drop it.

Some of the more rare prizes (like the Dinosaur Egg or Movie Ticket) may be hidden behind foliage in the Crane Game, and become dislodged when the crane drops another prize.
