How it feels
A minimal and cerebral puzzle game where you methodically clear a board using rock-paper-scissors-style hierarchy and chess-like movement rules.

What players say
Players describe a short, minimalist puzzle game that mixes rock-paper-scissors with chess-like movement. It has 30 levels, takes about 1-2 hours, and costs around a dollar. Opinions on difficulty vary: some find it a light brain teaser, others say one wrong move forces a restart and a guide helped them through.
