Loved this concept. I think it works great as it is and it leaves a lot of room to add interesting mechanics.
I love it. Only bug I found was i couldn't restart the game properly. Otherwise, awesome!
I always wanted to be a referee in a rock, paper, scissors game. :'D
Very clever concept. The "bribe" mechanic cracked me up and is a great risk vs. reward problem. Would be intrigued to see more playable scenarios applied to this. Good job!
The concept is nice. Less downtime would do it. If there were other things such as manipulation and stuff the game would've been really fun. Do check out mine!
Its a little simple, but I loved the Idea of being the ref instead of the player. cool!
I thought this was going to be insanely boring at first, but once the idea of taking bribes was brought into play I was genuinely surprised and started laughing. Great work! I think you can do a lot more with this concept in terms of side-games to referee-ing. I'm looking forward to seeing more from you!
Very cool take on the theme. I like the idea of the bribing for the ref.
Cool game
Its a cool concept, though I think it would feel a lot nicer to play if it were faster. Waiting for the countdown each round is a bit long.
Also, I was a little confused as to why I got disbarred so early when my corruption meter was not very full.
Certainly, an excellent interpretation of the theme! Even the concept of having a referee for a game like Rock, Paper, Scissors is quite amusing. It's definitely a very solid game! Well done.
I love that you can take bribes, it adds a fun layer of thought!
A bit slow, once you know the rules, but fun to play and very polished! :)
Great idea, its fun to decide who wins |o|
Interesting twist to Rock Paper Scissors. Liked it
Fantastic idea!
This is so fun. Love the idea that you can get bribed and must choose correctly.
Super creative and pretty addicting. Great job! One tiny thing is the bribe mechanic seems a bit strange in some situations, but overall this is an amazing submission! 5 stars!
Loved this one, it's silly and difficult to put down just because it's funny to take bribes from both contestants and then draw. Still it's an interesting challenge to optimize the play without creating too big of a lead for one player.
Really innovative idea! I like this game a lot, but I think it lacks tension - it needs something that makes decisions difficult once the player figures out the game. I think the most common way to add tension is a timer (maybe you automatically rule that its a draw if your timer runs out?) but you could also add some longer-term requirements, like maybe having to pay money every 10 rounds for rent or whatever so there's some incentive to take the bribes in addition to the disincentivizing corruption bar.
Again though, great idea! Keeping this bookmarked so I remember to give it a good score tomorrow ^^
Thank you! Great thoughts, much appreciated! I've taken your rent idea and its definitely added a little bit of extra strategy!
I only started playing after the rent idea and damn does it make me start sweating and eyeballing those big bags of money. Great idea StupidCupid, and great implementatino swilliamsio!
