Whoops, see, I don't play the game much :|

Yeah well i have about 6 pairs of the same boots and those wraps um i forgot names of them. It just seems to me that i get the same. I can play when it says new prizes in an hour and it will be same as the last time or i can wait till tmrw and it already rotated a few times but its still same. but i get what you guys mean. I was just wondering.

[Gallagher]

is it the same exact items, or do the differ in version or combination?

the former would be an issue, the latter means you're probably having bad luck and drawing the most common pulls

[Espy]

I have a cheesing shit ton of the wraps and stuff, too, mostly on virtue of having been here forever.

[Gallagher]

i've forever got marcus's gloves in there, lmao

[Espy]

I always have someone's boots. Like, why do they have so many pairs of boots.

[Mekatra]

I thought those were disembodied hands when I first saw them and was mildly disappointed that they were just gloves

[Gallagher]

of the 79 items

6 are boots
3 are shoes

so yeah, if you get things for your feetsies, it's probably gonna be some stinky old boots

[Mekatra]

I have a somewhat disturbing amount of rainbow socks

[MissK]

I guess you can never get enough boots lol

@Mek
lmaoo me too

The crane game's item selection is handled on the server. Nothing you can do in the browser will affect it -- and intentionally so; it's an anti-cheating mechanism.

Is there a way to play this on mobile?
I just saw sth i want in there, so i clicked play but then i realized i dont have a spacebar...^^;

[mdom]

I don't think so, Gizzie says she can't play at all :(

We've got mobile controls on our "someday" wishlist. Given that demand seems to be rising I'll bump up the priority on the list once I get some of my day job backlog freed up.

@mdom: i've been googling how to force my smartphone keyboard to show up without a text box present and found people using Hacker's Keyboard, but idk how safe it is. It's safe enough to be on the Google Play store which vets their apps (for the most part).

@coda: cool. thanks so much!

Hacker's Keyboard is perfectly safe. It's called "hacker" because it's something that programmers like me use to interface with remote management software that expects you to have a full computer keyboard instead of just the limited options available on the default touchscreen keyboard. I used to use it before I found an ssh client that offered the extra keys in a toolbar so I could use the default keyboard.
