Where the Plush Return

A claw machine arm glides across the screen, hunting for fallen plushies. Tap to send it back, but it must cross the center line before it can reverse again. Each time it reaches the middle, its speed changes and it locks onto the next toy. A successful grab adds a point to the haul. Miss the center and drift off the edge, and the claw vanishes. The more plushies it catches, the faster it moves. How many toys can it snatch before it swings out of control?
