Overall it looks incredibly polished, I would never think think this was made over the course of a single weekend.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>The game could use a description of the special items, it \r<br\/>isn't very clear what they do.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>I like the switching mechanic a lot. Together with the timer and the ability to engage\/disengage it adds a lot of depth. They are all clever ways to add complexity to what is otherwise a simple RPS game fun.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>About balance, I think scissors is currently too powerful against the AI. Weighted abilities in RPS are generally fine, but the AI doesn't seem to understand. The general gameplay boils down to quickly figuring out who wins in combat, and attacking\/evading the opponent. An AI could very easily play this game 'perfectly', so the depth is in actually seeing who wins or loses faster than the opponent. This works well with the timer and the 'scaling' complexity by adding more blocks on the totem.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Overall I like the game very much. Well done!"},{"author_name":"PeaCe","author_uid":"25366","time":"Aug 27, 2013 @ 7:13pm","epoch":1377630480,"text":"Thanks guys for feedback. : )"},{"author_name":"PaperBlurt","author_uid":"26530","time":"Aug 27, 2013 @ 8:28pm","epoch":1377634980,"text":"Real great graphics and also a fun new take on a classic.."},{"author_name":"ZYXer","author_uid":"20509","time":"Aug 28, 2013 @ 1:29am","epoch":1377653040,"text":"Wow, I love the combination of rock-paper-scissors and fighting game.
