This game was made in 3 days for the 2024 Winter MelonJam! The theme was Polarity.

About:

You've all heard of the standard opposites: fire and ice, light and dark, good and evil. But there is one group, 3 poles you might, that transcend history itself (probably). Rock, Paper, and Scissors. Each one balances out another in a perfect loop. You know the rules. Rock beats Scissors, Scissors beats Paper, and Paper beats Rock. 

Anyways, this is a roguelike shooter game where each round you fight through a swarm of rock, paper, and scissor enemies. You have 3 attacks, each also being rock, paper, or scissors. Enemies will block attacks completely from attacks they beat (Rock blocks scissor attack etc.), and attacks of the same type as the enemy will work, but be much weaker. Make sure to attack enemies with the right attacks! At the end of each round, you get to choose an attack, defense, or speed power up. The goal is to try and survive for as long as possible! Make sure to post your high scores and best waves in the comments!

Story:

This is a tale about a coin. A coin that loves to solve debates. Equipped with two polar sides itself, heads and tails, it believes it is great for solving any debates any one person could have. But no. People usually just end up playing "Rock, Paper, Scissors". The coin is not happy with this decision. It's goal is to wipe out all rock, paper, and scissors (which is surprisingly difficult) in the world.
