Paddle-crane is an arcade fishing game inspired by claw machines. Play as a disgraced engineer-slash-fisherman by capturing invasive fish scattered around the waters of the region!

  • Travel to different locations and catchas many invasive fish as you can before time runs out!
  • Determine the best moment to deploy your crane to avoid debris and aggressive fish!
  • Get your performance rated in every level and earn gold!
  • Buy Crane Coins with gold to increase your boat's lifespan!
  • Go to the shop and buy boat upgrades and other items to help you get the highest possible rating!

  • 15 different fish!
  • 5 levels!
  • 10 possible crane upgrades!
  • Lovingly hand-pixelled graphics!

  2. Unzip the folder.
  3. Click on Paddle-crane.exe.
  4. Windows may stop you from running the game (this is fine and normal for most downloaded games). Click "More Information" and click "Run anyway".
