UFO Balance Catcher (UFOバランスキャッチャー) is a crane game released by Sega in 2010.

UFO Balance Catcher is a re-imagined UFO Catcher machine, offering the same basic concept of picking up a prize with a UFO-shaped crane, but being operated by an entirely different system of movement. Rather than use buttons or joysticks, players use their body weight to adjust a pressure pad on the floor, thus moving the crane inside the unit. Sessions are now timed, and obstacles can be placed by the arcade operator to make catching the prize more tricky.
