🎤 WELCOME! TO! THE! JANKENPON! HISTORY!!!

jankenpon is a fast-paced roguelike Rock–Paper–Scissors tournament where luck is optional, cheating is encouraged, and the rules are made to be bent.

Win matches, stack damage, buy upgrades, and survive a tournament that evolves — run after run.

🔁 A TOURNAMENT-DRIVEN ROGUELIKE

Each run follows a simple but ruthless loop:

• Match
  Win rounds of Rock–Paper–Scissors to deal damage.
  Stack hits until one fighter’s HP reaches zero.

• Shop
  Spend your winnings on bracelets that twist probabilities, outcomes, and core rules.

• Tournament View
  Watch other matches unfold and discover who you’ll face next.

• Boss Fights
  Face opponents that don’t just play better —
  they play by different rules.

🧠 ARCHETYPES — DEFINE YOUR RUN

At the start of a run, choose an Archetype.

Archetypes are powerful, cheat-like modifiers that influence how the game behaves:

• How information is revealed

• How much control you have over outcomes

• How you mitigate randomness

• How you take risks

They don’t dictate a single strategy —
they shape the entire run and push you toward different builds and decisions.

💍 BRACELETS — STACK THE BROKEN

Bracelets are your main source of progression.

They:

• Modify probabilities and outcomes

• Reward specific playstyles

• Create unexpected synergies

• Stack into increasingly chaotic effects

Equip as many as you want —
and watch the game slowly lose its sanity.

🃏 CHEATS — FAIRNESS IS OPTIONAL

Yes.
Cheating is allowed.

Use cheat-like effects to escape bad situations, flip matches, or push your advantage even further.

But remember:
your opponents cheat too.

Especially the bosses.
