Scissors Paper Rock Omega (often shortened to SPR Ω ) is a dramatic twist on the classic hand game. We have adapted the game into an emulator that adds many exciting game mechanics, such as a point system, unlockable items, and - in future versions - the ability to play with friends over a Local Area Network (LAN).
Instead of the usual, boring three entities in the classic game (Scissors, Paper and Rock), we have packed SPR Ω with 13 different entities! This means the chance of a tie has plummeted and the player can enjoy many more epic victories (or crushing defeats). These entities can be unlocked by spending in-game points or fulfilling other achievements.

Dearest players: development SPR has been discontinued to make room for our latest production: Ship o' Fools. To play old versions of the game (starting from v. 1.2), head over here. Please note that these legacy versions are not maintained and may be buggy and unstable.
(To be released) - Cancelled
· Added an online game mode! Host or join a friend’s game and battle it out. The winner will take a proportion of the other player’s gold.
· Introduced new anti-cheat mechanisms to make the make the game fair for every player: This ensures that players do not readily breach the game’s Terms of Service to obtain an unfair advantage over law-abiding players. Cheaters will be punished severely;
· Added a ‘Time Bounty’ that grants the player gold after he/she has played for several games in a single session. The more you play, the richer you get!
· Added a variety of stats to the main menu, so the player can monitor their Kill-to-Death Ratio, Total Wins, etc.;
· The game screen is now a fixed sized and cannot be increased or decreased;
· DLC has been scrapped. Now, all entities can be obtained in-game by either spending points or completing an achievement. If have purchased DLC in the past, you will be given a complementary point injection;
· Implemented all unlockable entities: Gopher, Mr Clarke’s Martial Art, Generic Bird of Prey, Coffee Mug, and Peat Moss join the fray. Gopher and Mr Clarke’s Martial Art both require 1000 points to unlock. Generic Bird of Prey is unlocked by playing 1000 games in local multiplayer mode, whilst Peat Moss is unlocked by playing 1000 games against the computer. Peat Moss is unlocked by winning a total of 5000 games against the computer. Thus, all entities can now be unlocked in-game without using real-life money.
· Removed some buttons and information that we did not get around to implementing. This includes the planned online multiplayer tournaments and the 8-player local multiplayer.
