How to play Gold Claw

  1. The claw swings like a pendulum — tap to drop it. Heavy gold and rocks reel in slowly; diamonds are light and pricey.
  2. Earn each mine’s money target before the timer ends (30 hand-built mines, then endless). Tap Next once it is met for a time bonus.
  3. TNT barrels blow up everything nearby. Moles wander and some carry diamonds. Mystery bags hide cash, dynamite or strength.
  4. Spend your cash at the Trading Post between levels: dynamite (blast a bad catch), strength tonic, lucky clover and more.
