It's rock paper scissor meets elements. Basically feels like Pokemon but there's just no time to think. Are you quick enough to read your enemy before it's too late?
Play by yourself against an AI (with several types of attack pattern, try to read) or with your friends. Controls are as following:
P1: - W: Rock - D: Scissors - A : Paper
P2: - Up: Rock - Right: Scissors - Left: Papers
Elements are randomized at the beginning of the battle and has the following strength affinity:
Loved the idea! How did you think about it? I almost did something like it, but using the Chinese Five Elements, but I didn´t manage to implement it, besides a paper prototype... great Idea and great implementation!
It took a couple tries to get what was going on and how my choices mattered. But afterwards it was fun.
I think the only reason I won was because two of my elements were the same and beat two of his elements that were the same. So I just picked those over and over.
It seems like you have the right idea here. At least, you're on the right track. I had a hard time figuring out what each of the symbols meant -- it didn't seem like there was a theme going on. However, I liked the art overall and you clearly have a knack for aesthetic.
@all Thank you for the kind words and encouragement. And yes, it does take some time to figure out the tempo and what's what of the game. Definitely something I'll address in the future.
@minibobbo If you pay attention you'll start to see a pattern in the AI. There's several different patterns that will come up, selected randomly :D.
@cmcoto Basically by just pondering about how turn based system is basically rock paper scissors hahaha
I had a hard time understanding it. Instructions in the game itself might help a bit, with visuals. (I do know about the main screen having the cycle, but it's hard to remember.)
Hi there. Looks good, sounds good. Could do with a bit more feedback about what selection you've made, is not clear which player is you and my control inputs (WDA or Arrows) never seemed to make any difference. Chrome/W8.1

Thanks for bringing up the issue with ratings on my game. Think I fixed it (http://ludumdare.com/compo/ludum-dare-31/?action=preview&uid=31759)
Too bad I think it's really more fun if you played it with two people then I maybe would have enjoyed more! >~<

Good entry!
Yeah, was thinking of a tutorial the first time the game started, but didn't have time to implement it. Thank you for pointing that out.
@Jupitron
REally? It worked fine for me and everybody else. On the main menu you click the mode instead of using ADW though.
I didn't have the skill to compose music, maybe I'll find someone to create it for the postmortem version :3
Good job.
