Shake Your iPhone, Not Yourself

Beer Beckmann GbR has announced Jan-Ken-Pon 1.0, its first officially released iPhone App. Play this world-famous rock-paper-scissors game against whomever, whenever, and about whatever, like you always did. Or invite someone else, battle via Bluetooth and surprise your opponent with an unpredictable RaNdOm StriKE.

Jan-Ken-Pon, a game everyone knows. But the way it's played has changed dramatically now. It came to the iPhone in many different variations. Now it's time to get back to the roots and play it somewhat traditionally - but still on the iPhone.

You don't know Jan-Ken-Pon? Maybe you know it as "Stein Schere Papier", "Schnick Schnack Schnuck", "Rock Paper Scissors", "fargling", "Roshambo", "rochambeau". Oh yeah. It's known all over the world. But this app, is the iPhone Jan-Ken-Pon-app you were really waiting for.


Our award-winning Shake-Detection is the heart and key feature of this extraordinary lifestyle app. Taking advantage of some breathtaking features of our stunning 3D-Gfx-Engine, this whatchamacallum puts beautiful 2D-textures on on an otherwise black iPhone screen, while amusing you with amazing sound FX. The deliberate decision to leave out a computer opponent mode encourages you to play this game in the manner it was meant to be played. Honestly, who needs a computer enemy when playing Rock-paper-scissors? Maybe to help you make a personal decision when you have no coin at hand? Arrgh, damn, wait a second - ok, there will be an update then I guess.

Pricing and Availability:
Jan-Ken-Pon 1.0 is only $0.99 USD (or equivalent amount in other currencies) and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Lifestyle category.
