This is one of the definitely more innovative games I have played this game jam! Loved how such a tactical game was turned into absolute madness when none of the cards make any sense! Had a blast playing this game!

This is a greatly humorous take on rock paper scissors! Nice work.

Fantastic atmosphere, great concept, and fun (sometimes unpredictable) game.

What do you mean the soap beats obsidian knife :smiley: I love the idea AND the execution. Its super fun, so many combinations. How did you make it if you dont mind sharing the sauce?

@tomas-selmeci Glad you liked it! The game itself is in Unity UI. We decided on the cards and tooltips by hand (with stable diffusion-generated images), the matchup stories and winners are generated by a small LLM (Claude Haiku) since there were far too many combinations to write by hand!

We had another version which had more reasonable and serious stories, but we decided we like how unpredictable and funny it is!

Fantastic game. LLMs were made for content like this.

I'd say it was a journey, but actually it was more of a trip :D

Pretty original! Very reminiscent of my younger years of roleplaying :p Where any excuse to win goes - except this time you're the victim of the rule ^^
Good job!

What the HECK. XD That was absurd in the best possible way. (Not a big fan of the voices in the audio though.)

Overall I like the concept, but didn't really like some of the outcomes because they were AI generated. Some were funny and quite "realistic" in if those two things were fighting who would win. Others didn't really match up with what they described (i.e. x melted a hole in y because its so hot, but y wins). Keep on making games!

Cool idea, and some of the interactions gave me a good laugh. Loved the music too. Nice work!

Absolutely in love with the evolution of the 'rock, paper, scissors' game! Not entirely sure about the exploration of the summoning theme, but the idea is excellent. Good job!

Haha, I enjoyed playing the game. I was always curious what the result would be. Some answers were a bit weird in the sense that the suddenly talked about a third object or person, but I understand now that AI was involved. ;)

Overall, well done!
