Your roommate unjustly wants the last slice of pizza! This is obviously grounds for a fight to the death.

In this game that attempts to weakly channel Mortal Kombat, throw a rock/kick, paper/punch, or uppercut/scissors depending on what your opponent is throwing. If you are holding out something strong against your opponent, they take damage, otherwise you take damage!

For some reason the winner can shapeshift into a giant rock, paper, or scissors!

A clarification - you are meant to hold down the attack keys instead of tap them like most fighting games - the attacks do damage or take damage continuously for as long as they are active.

Made in 72 hours by Dain van Epps and David Colgan. Music generously contributed by Atmospherium.

The graphics are really unique and awesome! Gameplay vs a computer was kind of fast paced, but over time I understood how to play. Also, multiple maps were a nice implementation.

This is hilarious! :D Fantastic revision of the Rock-Paper-Scissors classic. I will definitely use it in my home arguments ;)

Graphics and music are very fun. The real-world characters and animations slightly remind me the first Prince of Persia :D
