Amazing UFO catching tips!
12:00 PM Edit This
Last few weeks, An & I got into UFO catching after walking around Iluma's arcade. There are SO many cute disney stuffed toys positioned in such a way that look so easy to win, but seems impossible to catch. So with the thought of not wanting to waste any $$, I searched some pretty cool UFO catching tips! these are really amazing! haha...
So after watching it, I was totally excited to go try and win one. hahaha.. So we headed to the arcade @ Bugis, and aimed for huge Chipmunk. After many tries (and spending about $8?), I felt that Singapore's machines are rigged!!! *Argh* I'm supposed to catch a round pig in place of Chipmunk, and exchange it if I was successful. I definitely caught the pig, the claw held it and raised it all the way... and jerked when it hits the top limit - and the pig dropped!!! And it happened again and again! I feel totally cheated manz =.=
So we were really frustrated and decided to try another arcade. This time @ Suntec. There I saw the same Chipmunk placed in a precarious position over the hole. But the floor it was lying on was placed with a anti-slip kinda mat, and everytime we managed to hold it up, it hardly moved. So quite sian diao... we tried for Mickey which only needs $0.50 a try (the rest are $1 a try). hahaha.. This time Mickey was sitting near the edge too. After trying once or twice, Mickey slowly inched to the hole. *got chance* So An tried again and again to press it down, and it moved bit by bit, but still didn't fall through the hole.
We're left with the last coin... and when the claw pressed down on Mickey, it seemed to be in a position where it won't drop into the hole. But when the claw lifted, Mickey started to moved over the edge and toppled into the hole! *hooray!* hahaha.. I literally jumped up the moment Mickey fell in. haha. And here's the photo of our prize! ^^
Anyway, S'pore's machines aren't as good as those in ithe videos. Most of the time when the claw is retracted upwards, it can't carry the weight of the prize and really, it just claws the side of the prize while moving up. =.= So do look around and observe some of the claws with higher 'integrity' where they can really hold some bit of weight. If not, the real idea is to PUSH the prize until it falls through, rather than to literally catch it. :)
