GameCenterSimulator

Take control of that split second when it's so close, yet so far. If claw machines are too easy, you'll lose money. If they're too hard, players will walk away. Find the perfect balance between profit and player satisfaction in this business simulation game.

From the Steam store

“GameCenterSimulator” is a realistic simulation game where you manage your own arcade.

You take on the role of the arcade owner, making all decisions yourself—from sourcing prizes and configuring crane games, to adjusting prices and managing staff.

Placing high-value prizes will attract more customers—but if too many are won, you risk going into the red. Carefully adjust arm strength, looseness, and play fees to strike the perfect balance of “almost winnable, but not quite.”

Realistic Management Simulation

Fine-tune crane game settings, including arm strength, looseness, drop speed, and descent limits

Manage realistic expenses such as loans, rent, electricity, and salaries

Maintain a realistic balance of profitable and unprofitable customers

Play Time

One in-game day equals 5 minutes of real time

Designed for quick, satisfying play sessions

Experience a strong sense of tension and urgency as time ticks by

Manipulate Customer “Expectations”

Prizes move, lift, and nearly fall—each moment raises customer anticipation.

The higher the expectation, the more likely they are to play repeatedly.

Learn the unique behavior of each prize to maximize profits.

Test Play

Check whether your play fee settings are appropriate by actually playing your crane games.

Test play simulates changes in customer expectations—higher expectation levels allow you to set higher play fees.

Trust Level

Represents customer confidence in your arcade, which fluctuates based on satisfaction.

Winning prizes increases trust

High-value prizes increase trust faster

Higher trust unlocks items available for purchase in the market

Disappoint customers with unfair settings and trust drops easily. Maintain proper difficulty and pricing, and your arcade can grow into a top-tier establishment handling premium, highly attractive prizes.

Attraction Level

Indicates how many customers visit your arcade.

Placing prizes in machines increases attraction
