Rock Paper Scissors Simulator

Rock Paper Scissors Simulator is a hands-off spectator simulation, not a move-by-move game. Set how many rocks, papers and scissors enter the arena, start it — and finally find out which element wins more often.

Origin story

The idea was to build a game around what might be the most famous game in the world — just to see if there was any search traffic for it at all. Right around then I came across a shorts video with a similar rock-paper-scissors simulation — not an app, just a clip running locally on screen. The coincidence sealed it. There is barely any gameplay here — nothing to control. It is more of an experiment: which of the three elements wins more often when they chase each other around the arena?

At one point the game had so many ads that they ran longer than the gameplay itself :) :) :). That's fixed now :( :( :(. But some players thanked me — both for the unique experience, and for the gameplay finally being gone ^^;. All in all, a pretty fun... game?
