If you press space on lose screen ( getting run over by a car ) - you start playing again, but screen does not change. "Try again" button disappears.
Some foken sprint wouldnt hurt aswell.

About the Game
We gladly present our newest creation to every wanderous soul here! You are to push your luck to the highest highs, so you could evade almost immanent death in this classicly stylised JRPG. Let's chat a bit before you go.
Main Idea
Through the proccess of game development we were guided by the idea to create a believable sub-world where souls of those who died accidently are trapped and seeking the way out. But the way is brutal. Only by defeating others with THE GAME one can alter their fate and get another chance to live. The trick is this game is a well-known for it random outcome "Rock, Paper, Scissors"
So, how will you beat your opponents? With the rationalism and wits or by the pure game of luck?
On your way you will encounter various characters, each of them has a story and a motive. Not everyone will be ready to play against you at first sight. Persuade, trick and outplay to escape the interworld.
Game features:
- 11 unique characters
- 43 dialogue sequences
- 7 duels of knowledge VS luck

For a free newgrounds game this is very much a good art game. I wish there was bit more to it in terms of interaction and such, but for a solid 30 minute experience it does the job well.
Neat little game! The world and characters have some cool mysterious vibes to them, and the concept of collecting intel on people's RPS strategies and then using that to beat them was quite novel and made me feel clever!
A few notes on the experience:
*I made it out with the minimum 4 souls, not bothering to defeat the rest of the opponents. I wonder if the game has a different ending if you get everyone? Would be nice if it did.
*I feel like the dialogue system needs some work. Sometimes I'd visit people after having already completed the quest they would've assigned to me if I talked to them earlier, and it treats it as if I have talked to them before despite not doing so. Just makes it feel a bit inelegant and takes me out of the experience.
*It's a nice game, but I can't help but feel like it's more of a prototype or proof-of-concept. The act of acquiring intel and such just felt stupidly simplistic at times, like picking up a note out of nowhere which apparently teaches you all about the knight's strategy. Ideally, I'd like there to be a bit more puzzle-solving, experimentation and mystery about learning their tics.
filgreen3 responds:
Thanks for the feedback! You're right, it's definitely still not a full game. I kept things simple since I wasn't sure if the concept would work.
Did you fight the samurai? That note tells you their strategy but they're still the hardest enemy. That's more like what I want the full game to be. Good to know the main idea is working!
maddeningly slow walking speed
This game had me genuinely completely engrossed. The visuals are phenomenally haunting, the gameplay is interesting, taking a typically luck-based concept and adding in strategy elements, and the overall atmosphere of the game is incredible. As much as I would have loved it to be a bit longer and expand a bit more on its lore, this was insane in the best way. One of the best things I've ever played on newgrounds, and that's certain. I. Am. OBSESSED.
