Rock, Paper, Scissors, Lizard, Spock, reimagined with handcrafted paper art, playful animation, and plenty of personality. Created with original paper artwork by artist Naomi Ritchie, RPSLS brings all five signs to life with layered 3D parallax effects that respond as you tilt your iPhone or iPad. QUICK, CLASSIC GAMEPLAY Choose Rock, Paper, Scissors, Lizard, or Spock and play against the device. The familiar rules expand the classic game: • Scissors cuts Paper • Paper covers Rock • Rock crushes Lizard • Lizard poisons Spock • Spock smashes Scissors • Scissors decapitates Lizard • Lizard eats Paper • Paper disproves Spock • Spock vaporizes Rock • Rock crushes Scissors HANDCRAFTED STYLE Every sign, player image, result scene, and background uses Naomi Ritchie's original paper artwork. Layered depth and motion give the pieces a tactile, card-like feel. SOUNDS AND SPOKEN RESULTS Choose standard or paper-inspired game sounds in Settings. Expanded win, loss, draw, shuffle, and selection sounds keep rounds varied, while spoken confirmation announces each result automatically.
