Retro messaging game reimagined with fast-paced ninja action, now available on iOS and Android

Israel, 24th Jun 2025,  Long before emojis ruled conversations and mobile games flooded the app stores, there was ICQ, the chat app that quietly introduced one of the internet’s earliest multiplayer games: Rock-Paper-Scissors. Now, that simple but addictive mini-game is back, reimagined for a new generation as NinjaRPS, a sleek, action-packed remake for mobile, designed to hit right in the nostalgia.

Launched by NexEra Labs, NinjaRPS is now available on Google Play and the App Store, blending the familiar strategy of Rock-Paper-Scissors with the thrill of ninja duels, stylized animations, and retro-inspired visuals.

“We wanted to bring back something that felt personal, something people used to play between chats, just for fun,” said the developer. “NinjaRPS is our tribute to those early internet days, but with a new layer of energy and style.”

From Chatroom Classic to Combat Arena

NinjaRPS takes the core mechanics of the original ICQ game and wraps them in a fast-paced ninja theme. Players face off in animated duels where each move, Rock, Paper, or Scissors, triggers a ninja attack, block, or dodge. The game is easy to learn, hard to master, and endlessly replayable.

The game’s retro pixel art and fast-loading design are nods to the lightweight charm of the original ICQ era. At the same time, new features like avatar selection, local play, and unlockable content offer depth for today’s mobile gamers.

It’s a perfect pick-up-and-play game for casual moments, competitive challenges, or simply reliving a bit of digital history this time, with a ninja twist.

“Some games didn’t need a storyline, they just worked,” the developer added. “We brought that feeling back, but gave it flair.”

U.S.-based EPD Networks has announced that it has signed a landmark Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the EPD Programme for Steel Industry Chain on June 19th to strengthen international cooperation in environmental product declarations (EPDs) across the global steel industry (source). This agreement marks a major step forward in aligning life cycle assessment methodologies, verification procedures, and environmental impact reporting on a global scale.

Under this strategic partnership, both organizations will pursue mutual recognition of key frameworks including General Programme Instructions (GPI), Product Category Rules (PCR), Life Cycle Impact Assessment (LCIA) methodologies, LCA tools, and verification checklists.

To date, the programme has published 230 EPD reports and registered over 6,500 organizations—making it the world’s largest database for steel-related environmental performance.
