Fixed! This is a really cool and unexpected game. Just the waiting time between plays is too much. Anyway, I lost all my fingers and could only play "stone" but the opponent always did the same, too. :thinking:

@chuckeles Yeah there is a major flaw in the game because if both player cut of their index finger they can only play "rock" creating an enless loop

@5n1p3r-4r73m1s Normally when playing poker or something you bet money and the loser loses his money. In this game you lose your finger instead. You gamble with your fingers as a currency. I had plans to make it so that when you loose all five fingers you bleed out and die but didn't have enough time

Really fun to discover, great submission. I won but he gave me the finger in the end, he had no other choice xD

This is excellent! A lot of depth for such a simple concept. And the cutting-sound is perfect in how disgusting it is :D

Would love to play a local multiplayer version of this against friends. (Although I understand it'd probably be tricky to make this work on only one screen)

Unfortunately, I got stuck on the cutting screen when I had only one finger left but was supposed to cut off two. Had to force-quit the game to get out of it...

Apart from that, great job! Keep it up! :)

Cute game! Got to the final round but was bested by Bruno. The phase of the game could be a little faster in my opinion. Small bug, when you're cutting off a finger after a lost round, you're able to cut off several fingers if you click them fast enough.

@erik-brunnstrom ohh..i never saw this as gambling...now to think of it, it fulfills the theme very nicely

Awesome game, fun and lovely graphic with a gruesome twist. Really clever take on good old rock-paper-scissors, I am floored by how the penalty is also part of the strategy. How did you think of that?

Small bug: I pressed Play then opened the Help Menu and then got into the game, and it got stuck on screen. (This was on Mac)

Really nice concept. Also the sound effects and the graphics are really smooth and fun to look at. At first it was difficult for me to see and read everything, the colors are a bit too bright in my opinion. Some more contrast to distinguish background from foreground (and text!) would have been helpful. I also agree with the others that the countdowns etc should have been a bit quicker, but that is just nitpicking. Great entry!

I love those kind of games where you have to bet on something but also have to plan a strategy accordingly, check the probabilities if you cut this finger or this one, see what the opponent can come up with his remaining fingers.

This game might look random at first glance but it is not. Easy to play, hard to master.

One thing that would be super cool: add slow motion and heart beats on the last throw so you feel the pressure building up!

Cool game! Love the graphics, the hand movements are responsive and satisfying. The bow tie on Henry the handsome was great, however I got stuck in an infinite draw match with him where we both could only throw stone :') overall though, this game is very nice.
