I have been having pretty good luck in the crane game recently. I just got another toby the cat today. I think there is a sweet spot or something.

The game IS very picky about accuracy. There's a sweet spot in the middle of every prize ball that has the highest chances of success and the odds of it falling out of the claw increase the farther off from that sweet spot you get.
