OpenClaw Is Now on iOS and Android

OpenClaw, a fan-made remake of the classic game Claw, has been released on iOS and Android platforms, bringing the platformer to mobile devices.

Background

OpenClaw is a fan-made, open-source reimplementation of the classic action-strategy game "Claw" (1997,开发商 Monolith Productions). The original Claw is a side-scrolling platformer about a pirate captain named Claw searching for treasure — think Castlevania-like gameplay with distinct levels, power-ups, and boss fights. OpenClaw reproduces the original engine from scratch, allowing the game to run on modern systems and now on iOS/Android devices. This matters because the original game is abandonware (no longer sold or supported by its publisher), and the OpenClaw project preserves it for new audiences. The tweet announces that OpenClaw has been ported to mobile platforms, making the classic game playable on phones and tablets.
