MAY TAKE A MOMENT TO LOAD

Ever wondered what rock-paper-scissors would look like with 35 updates worth of power creep? Yes? Wonderful, as that's exactly what Just Rock Paper Scissors promises you! You start at version 1.0 of the hit new perfectly balanced gacha game Just Rock Paper Scissors, and as you play matches against the AI the game is slowly "updated" with new mechanics to try and make the game both "fairer and "more fun". Just make sure you're carving new Runes or you may fall victim to a tad bit of power creep.

Thankfully, the developers of JRPS were kind enough to offer many ways to get new Runes. One roll of the Rune carving gacha requires one Slate, which you're given upon winning a round. Even if you lose, you're given a Slate Fragment, which will form a whole Slate after you collect 4 of them. You also get Slate Fragments when the version updates, and for discarding your old Runes.

Mechanics:

I'd hate to spoil all the amazingly balanced additions to Just Rock Paper Scissors, so here's a sample selection:

• A new SPEED stat, so that even if both players use the same symbol (e.g. both rock) someone still gets to take a turn.
• A new COUNTERATTACK mechanic, so that even the player that loses in RPS gets some benefit.
• New HIT RATE and CRITICAL HIT mechanics, so the game isn't repetitive every time.
• A new SHIELD mechanic, to avoid taking damage if you won the RPS draw.
• Many new status effects such as BURN, FREEZE, and DEEP WOUNDS.
• Different STANCES that increase or decrease damage dealt or received.
• And much more!

As you unlock new mechanics and effects, you can review them by re-reading their introductory Update Log from the main menu. The mechanics aren't unlocked in the same order each time.

Note: some mechanics do not behave as described in their update logs. This is an accident. For example, burn deals only 1 additional damage instead of 2. These issues will be fixed in a post-jam patch, but do not drastically effect the game in its current state.

Controls:

• The game is controlled entirely with the mouse.
• When on an update pop-up, just click anywhere on the screen to close it.
• When in battle, hover a Rune with your mouse to check its details.
• After highlighting a rune, just click to use it!
• All other buttons are labelled in-game, just click on them and they'll take you to a different menu.

Console Commands:

If you want to see all of the content without playing through many matches, you may want to use these console commands. Access the command window by pressing the non-numpad 0 key, and then type the command and press enter.

• help - lists all the commands
• fps - displays the game's framerate
• unlock all - immediately increases the JRPS version to 36.0, unlocking all additional mechanics.
• free runes - makes the rune gacha free. cannot be turned off once activated.
