Is the opponent just picking randomly?

No. It responds to your recent choices, which is why long streaks are harder than probability alone would suggest. Genuine randomness on your part is the counter.

How is the score calculated?

By streak. Consecutive wins build your run and a single loss resets it, so the game rewards sustained unpredictability rather than total wins.

Can I play with the keyboard?

Yes. The number keys map to the three throws, which is considerably faster than clicking once rounds speed up.

About Rock Paper Scissors Neon

Rock Paper Scissors Neon takes the playground game and gives it a presentation worth watching, but the interesting part is what happens over a long session. Any single round is a coin flip. A run of thirty rounds is not, because you are playing against an opponent that responds to your history rather than picking at random. That turns a game with no strategy into a game about not being predictable, which is a genuinely difficult thing for a person to do. Human beings are bad at randomness. We avoid repeating the same choice three times because it feels wrong, we unconsciously counter whatever just beat us, and we fall into rotations without noticing. Those habits are exactly what a pattern-matching opponent looks for. The game becomes a test of whether you can notice your own tendencies while playing quickly enough to keep the streak going. The neon presentation keeps rounds fast, so a session is a rapid sequence of decisions rather than a deliberate one, which makes the habits harder to suppress. Play in short bursts and it is a pleasant coin flip. Play a long streak and it becomes a surprisingly sharp exercise in self-observation.

Tips & Strategy

Do not counter the throw that just beat you. It is the most predictable response there is, and it is the first pattern the opponent will find.
Repeating the same choice twice in a row feels wrong and is therefore under-used. That makes it effective.
Decide your next throw before the round starts rather than reacting to the last result.
If your streak keeps ending at a similar length, you have a cycle you cannot see. Deliberately break your own rhythm.
