Fork of Damocles

The fork hangs overhead; a gentle smile accompanies its slow spinning descent towards your head.

Fork of Damocles is a local-multiplayer party game where you must be the sole survivor of an ever-present Fork threat. Oh, and you're a tasty vegetable. Don't get eaten!

Controls:

Requires 2-4 gamepads (and a similar number of people) to play.

About:

Fork of Damocles was made during Train Jam 2017, a two day journey/game jam across the US onboard an Amtrak Superliner train. The jam's theme was "unexpected anticipation".

The game was a solo project. Unfortunately there was no time for creating/integrating music or SFX.
