Win!/Lose! is one of Orbulon's microgames in WarioWare: D.I.Y. It is based on the game of rock paper scissors.
Gameplay[edit]
When the microgame starts, the opponent's hand randomly chooses rock, paper, or scissors, and the player has to respond with the corresponding gesture by tapping either one of three icons. However, on-screen instructions are given, telling the player to either try to win, tie or lose against the opponent. If the player needs to win, they need to choose the hand gesture that beats the opponent's move. If they have to lose, the player need to choose the move that the opponent can beat. If the player needs to tie, they have to choose the same move as their opponent.
If the player correctly matches the on-screen instructions, the game is won. However, picking the wrong gesture or letting the timer run out will result in a loss.
