You play by tapping your throw. Choose rock, paper, or scissors each round, and the computer reveals its choice at the same time.

The outcomes follow one simple loop:

• The winning loop is rock beats scissors, scissors beats paper, and paper beats rock. If you both throw the same, the round is a tie and replays.
• The match goes to the first to win three rounds, so a full game is a best-of-five that stays tense to the last throw.

At low levels the computer throws randomly, so results even out. At high levels it studies your habits and predicts your next move.

Winning a match moves you up, and the difficulty climbs across eight levels as the opponent reads you more closely.

Tips

• Avoid repeating the same throw. The smarter levels watch for streaks, so throwing rock three times in a row is an easy pattern for them to punish. Mixing it up keeps you unreadable.
• Don't fall into predictable reactions. Many players switch to what would have beaten the computer's last throw, which is itself a pattern. Being aware of that habit lets you break it.
• Try to be genuinely random. Truly random choices cannot be predicted, so against a learning opponent, deciding without any logic is oddly one of the strongest strategies.
• Change your approach mid-match. If the computer starts reading you, switching how you decide partway through resets its model and throws off its predictions.
• Don't overthink a random opponent. At the lower levels the computer isn't predicting anything, so against those there is no pattern to outsmart, and any throw is as good as another.
• Watch for your own tells. People often lean on a favorite throw without noticing, so paying attention to your own tendencies is the first step to hiding them from the computer.
