Appxplore Takes Cuteness to New Heights with Claw Stars x Usagyuuun

Claw Stars, the super-cute casual game from developer Appxplore, has doubled down on cuteness by launching a collaboration with beloved sticker character Usagyuuun.

The crossover, which launches today, sees the popular bunny appearing in a mobile game for the first time as Usagyuuun joins the crew of the iconic Claw Stars spaceship and becomes the latest claw-grabbing hero.

Okay, so there’s a lot to unpack here. 

For the uninitiated, Usagyuuun is a half-mochi, half-rabbit creature who stars in a range of social media chat stickers, doing a range of charming things, normally while beaming a huge triangular smile.

Whether or not you’ve ever received or sent one of these stickers, there’s no getting around the fact that Usagyuuun is a huge global brand. 

In fact, the stickers have been downloaded more than 6 billion times, so if you don’t have one on your phone or PC you’re an anomaly.

Claw Stars x Usagyuuun sees you rescuing stricken animals and clawing for treasures at locations across the universe—just with a bunny-mochi hybrid in the cockpit.

The exclusive Usagyuuun Pack, meanwhile, features a ton of premium content to get your teeth into.

This cornucopia includes two new spaceships. The Usugyuuun Ship has an aerodynamically challenging feature whereby Usagyuuun dangles from the craft whenever it moves, while the Ninjin Rocket is a carrot-shaped spaceship piloted by the mysterious carrot Ninjin!?

You can complete the look with a special Usagyuuun joystick and helmet, adorably moulded around the bunny’s ears. Plus, there are 20 unique spacesuits to unlock, and two joysticks, as part of the Naughty Rabbit and Mecha Rabbit Style Station collections. 

Usagyuuun is a social phenomenon, of course, so there are also several new charming and personality-filled Usagyuuun stickers to use in conversation with your fellow Squadron members, along with five profile avatars and foolstone pics for pranking your friends.

Finally, Claw Stars x Usagyuuun lets you recruit Usagyuuun’s best friend: the cuddly cat Nekogyuuun!

This extra Helper boosts the rewards you can earn from clawing, while collecting its DNA lets you evolve the creature through four increasingly adorable stages. 

You can take home your very own Usagyuuun Costume, and more rewards besides, by completing a special mission that involves uncovering a series of mysterious bunny capsules. 

The Usagyuuun Pass, meanwhile, gives you access to the Nekogyuuun Spaceship, in turn allowing you to ride on a giant robot cat and use a cuddly joystick with a Usagyuuun and Nekogyuuun hugging design. 

That’s quite a haul of treats. To get started with the Claw Stars x Usagyuuun event, download Claw Stars for free right now on the Google Play Store or the App Store.
