Yay!

After 72 hours, a lot of synapses and trying to figure out how to do many things (because I'm a beginner in game dev), my brother and I finally finished this one!

It's a relief to see it finished, even though there's still a lot to be done.

But here it goes:

Atomic Rock Paper Scissors is a puzzle game based on the classic Rock Paper Scissors game. Make combo attacks and get nukes to blow stuff up!

You're going to need them to get ready of pesky metal blocks that get in your way. Just be sure to not make mistakes or get your piece taken at the end of your combo!

My personal high score is 194,000. How far can you go? Play now right in your browser!

Our game Atomic Rock Paper Scissors has received a lot of cool feedback, and we’ve been incorporating many of the suggestions into the code for our fleshed out post-LD release of the game!

Many of the suggestions involved bigger and more powerful explosions, especially if the nukes are activated with a big combo. This is now part of the new code, and you can see here how it would work. The size of the explosion (Bomberman-style! :heart: ) is the size of the combo, and chained reactions lose power one by one down the chain.

Seen here is also the combo numbers popping out, giving extra visual feedback of the process that was sadly missing in our original release, as well as the new behavior of the nuke bar which allows you to accumulate nukes, which drop one by one every turn. This allows for all sorts of strategy to emerge in how one handles the pesky metal blocks that get in the way.

An updated version of the game should be available for playing after the LD ratings are done, and, after we’re happy with the balancing, hopefully also with a leaderboard! :D

But we’re saving our coolest ideas for the mobile remake we’re planning. Either way, wish us luck! :radioactive:

The Jam is close to the end, and there are some great games that for some reason are in danger, meaning they received less than 20 ratings. You can help these games, by going to the danger zone (click here to see the games) and playing these games and rating them. It will mean a lot for these developers. We could all use some extra push sometimes, right?

These are some of my favorite ones:

• Radioactive Horse Escape

Squeeeee! This is a very cute game, with the most cute horse ever. The pixel art is well done, and the soundtrack and effects too.

• Ludens Fortuna

Ludens Fortuna is a card game I've been playing as an idle game and to relax. It's a simple concept, but it delivered it extremely well!

• A Druid's Day

Lovely game about a cute druid that needs to make the land fertile and restore a forest. What's not to like about that?

• Things We Left Behind

A game with a premise around societal collapse with quotes from Jared Diamond and Joseph Tainter?!? Here, have my heart :heart: In this amazing game with a beautiful soundtrack you need to expand a civilization with the awareness you have limited resources.

Now go play them and other games that need our help!
