If I had to pick my favorite Ludum Dare game so far, it would have to be this one. The art style! The clever variation of Rock Paper Scissors! The weapon that is indeed unconventional! It's simple and not *that* innovative, but does literally nothing wrong.

Hah, this is nice! I know this game :). Too bad, I think I am a better player at this in RL than in the digital version ;)

VERY nice game! Had a little trouble figuring it out at first, but once i got the hang of it, it was really fun. The new rock paper scissors has been made, great job!

Wow... I've never given all perfect before. But this game was really fun! It was so simple and at first I didn't get it. But after a few tries I kinda got the point. Playing against the computer was fun. When I thought I had him figured out he would surprise me. Great job! I'm going to have to try playing this IRL. Its like rock-paper-scissors but more intriguing.

Loved this entry ^^, I used to play a game with the same rules when I was younger, so it brought up a lot of good memories. Your game is simple but highly polished, well-crafted and with lovely art. Well done! :)

Love the sound effect for the finger gun. Finger guns are serious business.

This is really well done.
I'm terrible at it, but that happens.
This has some of my favorite audio out of all the jam games I've checked out so far.

it looks cool and the incorporation of the theme is clever, having said that, I have no idea what I'm supposed to do.

Desperately needs a tutorial to ease players into the experience.
