The goal is to progress through each stage by flying around and stabbing a variety of objects along the way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The main ability for movement is \u201cboost\u201d which allows the fork to fly through the air in a straight path. However, the time and distance that can be covered in a single boost is based on a gauge, which if emptied, will leave the fork at the mercy of gravity. The fork can stab almost anything in each stage, including walls, floors, microwaves, fridges, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Stages boast a variety of hazards, like lava areas and electrified walls and floors, as well as enemies like avocados and potatoes. To avoid damage from enemy attacks and dangerous areas, players must carefully decide the distance and direction they fly, and which objects they stab. Successfully advancing through stages is a matter of stabbing the fork into all sorts of places and battling a variety of foods.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" src=\"http:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/20220705-209334-002.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-13898\" srcset=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/20220705-209334-002.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/20220705-209334-002-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/20220705-209334-002-380x214.jpg 380w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/20220705-209334-002-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/20220705-209334-002-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/20220705-209334-002-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/20220705-209334-002-696x392.jpg 696w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/20220705-209334-002-1068x601.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/20220705-209334-002-747x420.jpg 747w\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><br>There is an intuitive flow to controlling the fork and various techniques exist. For example, you can perform a small jump to remove the fork from where it is stabbed and adjust your aim as it falls before flying toward your next target.
