Most of you know me for Retarded Animal Babies (don't forget there's a brand new DVD out!), but there's another oddity on the internet I'm responsible for: this interdimensional 25-gesture version of Rock-Paper Scissors. Originally made as a plain ol' JPG on my art site (umop.com), by popular demand I teamed up with my programmer/buddy Andy (also the voice of "Dudley" on "Sci-Fi Guys") to create this interactive version.
Features: Select not just the 25-gesture version (RPS-25) but among several smaller versions as well, to prevent brain poppage. There are 1- and 2-player modes for any game.
I hope you enjoy the game!
A massively expanded version of Rock-Paper-Scissors, with several smaller versions in case the full 25-gesture version's too much? Can't argue with that.
I do like how the gestures are laid out - everything the gesture beats is on its right, everything that beats it is on its left. Makes the outcomes a lot easier to digest.
Very fun! There are plenty of things that don't make sense, but I understand that you kinda have to throw logic out the window to make things balanced.
I remember playing this as a kid, it was one of my favorite Flash games, I wouldn't get tired of that song playing in the background, the whole concept of a bigger Rock Paper Scissors game fascinated me ever since.
But devil is immune to scissors
I love the creativity of these variants. However, there is inconsistency.
In RPS-9 and 15, there is MAN. But in RPS-11, there is WOMAN. In both 11 and 15, DEVIL TEMPTS WOMAN/MAN. Also, new outcome names from RPS-25 are used, for example SCISSORS CUT MAN'S HAIR.
Another inconsistency is permanent, by design of RPS-15 and 25. In 15, LIGHTNING STRIKES TREE. In 25, TREE ATTRACTS LIGHTNING.
