UFO Catcher - Toreba! #4

Hey! This looks simple!... Nope! No! Nada!

I know that there are many times where we will be thinking that "Oh hey! This prize seems like its in a nice position already!" or like "I bet if I can just hook it on the tag or its arm, it will fall out!".

This time I had to get this for a friend's present as I know she will like it very much. So, giving up is not the solution.

UFO Catcher (4)

The only time when there is just one plush that you absolutely must have and retreating is not an option. Well, this time the aim is to bring the prize forward. It's best to grab the front one-third of it so that the prize will inch forward. 

Initially, I thought I could get it in 5 tries. But I was mistaken!

Mistakes that I made:

1) Grabbing too much to the side which made it spin instead of lifting.

2) Accidentally grabbing the center-back part of the prize making it move backwards

3) Making it drop slightly between the front 1st pole and the 2nd pole. Apparently, the body is small enough to fit through the gaps between the poles. ( Not shown in my video but it happened a numerous number of time while I was playing for the other characters.)

4) Thinking that if it is parallel to the pole then I could just grab it up whole and release to drop in. (This was me with an absent-minded mind while playing for too long.)

5) Making the wrong decision by lifting the head at the end. It ended up rolling to the back to its reset point.

This actually had me for about 1 hour... ( > . < )|||

AND... that's how i won the plushy by shifting it slowly to the chute. It is not as easy as it looks. There were times where i thought that there is really no place to hook it to move the prize and even worse the claw may shift the prize back into the previous position. 

Wait! Isn't this post a little short? 

How? Haha! I was pretty busy yesterday and I will be busy in the upcoming days. But I'll try to post something each day. For this post, I'll be making illustrations and getting screenshots to better explain what is going on.  

So how many tries and how much spent?

I took 27 tries to roll the prize to the front as seen in the video and total amount spent was around S$64.80. I almost hit the maximum amount... should be limiting my spending to no. of tries. 

Here is the quote of the day!
