This is pretty neat and also tricky, and a nice take on the theme. I do like the aspect of having to remember whether you're supposed to win or lose.
Some things that I think could be improved:
• Better feedback about what happened when you lost (some sort of "game over" screen that lasts more than a few frames, and somehow indicates whether you were out of time or chose the wrong thing, and what you were supposed to do)
• I think maybe having the timer as a bar instead of a number would make it easier to tell at a glance how much time you have left.
• I was going to suggest maybe having a "Start" button instead of just starting immediately and running out of time until the player does something, but after thinking about it again, I think I might like it this way.
Thanks for the suggestions! I will definitely incorporate a time bar for the full release that I am working on. As for the losing feedback, maybe I will have either the timer or the player's panel border glow depending.
Good simple Concept Nice idea little hard to play thu
Good concept! I enjoyed your take on the theme! congrats
once i got it its a fun little game :) took me by surprise
This broke my brain in a fun way. Would like to see a more clear indication of whether I should be winning or losing at any given moment. I found myself coming back to it several times though.
Thank you for the kind words and the suggestion. I am happy to be of service in brain-breaking :)
I did consider having an indication of whether you need to win/lose at some point in the development (for example, by changing the background color to red when you need to lose), but I find it more enjoyable (and easier to get in "the zone") to not have that, so this was the version I ended up with. If I had more time (and more experience with coding), I would probably have added in the option to choose whether or not to have the changing background, a random win/lose mode with the changing background, and the option to reorder rock/paper/scissors.
like others it took me a moment to understand i needed to swap between winning and loosing - my brain is still trying to recover from that meltdown :D
I love simple ideas ! Took me a bit of time to deduce the fact that you have to win and lose alternatively as fast as you can. Maybe the description of the game could be a bit clearer ?
Once i understood though, it was quite fun ! I only got to 14 points. (My excuse is post-jam fatigue, okay ?)
Thanks for the feedback! Glad you enjoyed it :)
I will see if I can edit the description to make it more clear.
too simple, but nice idea
