You are your own weapon.
You are silverware.

Knock the other piece of silverware down before it knocks you down. The first person to knock the opposing silverware over 7 times wins. Choose your silverware wisely: the fork is well-rounded, the knife is strong but is hard to recover with, and the spoon is nimble but weak. Both 1 player and 2 player modes are available.

Controls:
Player 1: A leans left, D leans right, W jumps
Player 2: left arrow leans left, right arrow leans right, up arrow jumps

Tools used:
Construct 2, Paint.NET, CoolText, Bfxr, Abundant Music, GXSCC

Basically a fighting game with silverware. Neat idea!

Haha, very nice! Best one I tried so far.
Innovative in gameplay and graphics, and funny. Good job!

Nice and simple; good job choosing a project that you could complete. The AI on the computer is pretty good. Ok, well it's better than me anyway. Thanks for the game!

Turned out to be pretty fun vs AI. Bookmarking to play later with a friend!

Simple but neat! :D
Found a decent strategy with the knife that works for me: lean a bit towards other player in the beginning and then spam jump.

Ok, this was hilarious. Epic! A bit hard to control, but this was really fun to play for a few minutes. Good luck!

That was so silly, but I liked it. I liked that I had to really think about strategy, instead of some kind of button mashing.

Amazing game. The best one I've played so far. Just couldn't stop smiling while playing. Also the enemy AI is really well done and offered a tough challenge.

Great job pulling out the CPU player! I played some GGs with it! Sound effects hurts my ears a bit though...
