About the Game

Rock Paper SMASH is a unique spin on the platform fighter genre combining strategy, chaos, and humor. Anyone from seasoned veteran to complete novice can have a blast with the core mechanic: the only attack options are Rock, Paper, Scissors.

Featuring

  • Support for your favorite classic controllers and controller adapters

  • Online multiplayer with Rollback Netcode

  • Duel Mode: a pure rock-paper-scissors battle of wits with trickery and taunts

While the core attacks are always Rock Paper Scissors, all characters feel unique and add their own distinct flavor to the game. Meet some of the iconic cast:

FRIDGE

Big and very slow, but get too close and you're toast. Fridge has huge attacks with huge damage. Holding the jump button allows Fridge to slowly blast-off like a rocket.

MARK

Mark boasts disjointed sword attacks and has unique movements when attacking; Scissors performs a forward dash, Paper is akin to an extra jump with an uppercut motion, and Rock does a downward fast falling dive.


CAR

Heavy but with super fast movement speed, Car can follow up on attacks that others can't. Jumping with Car creates a physics-based ramp which works based on how fast you're moving.

FOX

Having both photo-realistic and cartoon skins, Fox attacks quickly enough to keep anyone on their toes. Fox is sure to distract everyone with his shiny blue taunt!

And many more ...

Taunting with Rock-Paper-Scissors

Taunting is an important part of any fighting game. Rock Paper SMASH features a normal taunt on each character, but also every character can do a "Rock" "Paper" or "Scissors" taunt for added mind-games and tricks. Tell your opponent "I'm going to rock" repeatedly, then, maybe... still go Rock!
