# Captain Claw — Claw Web Canonical: https://playable.wtf/games/captain-claw-web/ Project ID: project:captain-claw-web Captain Claw’s 14 levels, with widescreen play, gamepad support and browser saves. ## About this version Arthur Boss’s browser-focused OpenClaw fork reads the original CLAW.REZ archive from your copy. The current claw-web address replaces the older captain-claw-web and WASM-OpenClaw routes. Browser launch. Platformer. [Play on creator site](https://arthurboss.github.io/claw-web/) ## Platforming with a sword and ranged weapons Captain Claw is Monolith's 1997 platform game. Jumping, sword attacks and ranged weapons give its movement a combat rhythm: you have to make space for an attack as well as reach the next platform. The browser port's separate sword, fire and weapon-switch actions preserve that distinction instead of reducing everything to one action button.

The creator documents all 14 levels, original graphics and audio, saved progress and wide through super-widescreen resolutions. It ships no game content: provide CLAW.REZ from a copy you own before the engine can run the levels. The current address replaces older captain-claw-web and WASM-OpenClaw paths. The project documents redirects and migration of existing files and saves, so returning players should use the current play link rather than installing a second unrelated build.

The shoulder buttons change weapons, the stick or D-pad moves and Start pauses. On PlayStation-style controllers, use the corresponding Cross, Square and Circle positions. If a controller is not detected, connect it, focus the tab and press a button. Safari's controller and vibration support is more limited than the other documented browsers; lack of rumble does not by itself mean the game has failed. On macOS, Ctrl with arrow keys can trigger system desktop shortcuts, so consider the game's WASD movement binding.

Keep your original CLAW.REZ outside the browser as well: cached assets and browser-held progress should not be your only copy of the material needed to return. If loading fails in a private session, the troubleshooting guide identifies restricted persistent storage as a possible cause.

Use CLAW.REZ from your own Captain Claw (1997) installation. The project asks for about 120 MB of free browser storage and does not include the retail archive. Creator-reported: [Project guide](https://github.com/arthurboss/claw-web/blob/master/README.md) ## How do I get started? Choose or drop CLAW.REZ in the one-time setup. Keep the tab open while it stores the archive. Creator-reported: [Project guide](https://arthurboss.github.io/claw-web/) ## Which devices and browsers work?
