Gave it a go on my iPhone held vertically, got a game started but got confused, what do you have to do?

The "help" button explains it pretty well, I thought - in a sense it's "perpetual" Rock Paper Scissors. Q beats W, W beats E, E beats Q. As you hold down one of those keys, if the other guy is holding down a key that beats you, you start losing (and vice versa).

I really like this concept, quite the fun idea.

I am not certain but I think you mash 3 buttons. The player who presses these buttons the fastest win's

Paper-Scissors-Stone => Q-W-E

There is a help button top-right.

I'm not sure whether its timing based or whether you just need to mash buttons like hell? If it is turn based it makes sense, but not much I can do with 300 ms latency as I watch the bar flying by getting redder and redder.

edit: Seems like its just button mashing. Seems hard to keep up the mashing with high latency, as the other person just plain reacts almost half a seconds before you.

No, you simply hold down the key you want. No mashing. I have been easily beating guys who seem to be hitting the keys as quickly as possible.
