Forkspawn is a triple-A-grade first-person shooter that runs entirely in your web browser. Built on the Three.js / WebGL engine, it delivers console-quality visuals, hitscan ballistics, dynamic lighting, and 60 FPS combat — with no downloads, no installs, no launchers, and no patches. You click a link and you're in the fight within seconds. The free demo gives you three waves of escalating combat; the Founder's Pack unlocks the full game with all weapons and endless waves.
Forkspawn is an indie title built to prove that a browser game can look and feel like a AAA release. The entire engine — rendering, physics, enemy AI, audio, touch controls — runs client-side in the browser via Three.js and WebGL, with a total payload of around 4 MB. No game engine download, no Unity web player, no plugins.
Go to forkspawn.acoco.ai, scroll to the playable demo, and click 'Play Free Demo.' On desktop, click the game area to lock your mouse (press ESC to release), then use WASD to move, the mouse to look and aim, left-click to fire, R to reload, Shift to sprint, Space to jump, and the number keys (1, 2, 3) to switch weapons in the full version. On mobile, an on-screen virtual joystick controls movement, touch-drag controls aim, and on-screen buttons handle fire, reload, jump, and sprint. No account, no sign-up — just click and play.
No. Forkspawn runs entirely in your browser. There is nothing to download, install, or update — no .exe, no app store, no Steam client, no 80 GB day-one patch. The game streams its ~4 MB payload over the web and renders in real time using your browser's WebGL support. If you can open a modern web page, you can play Forkspawn.
No. The free demo is completely open — no email, no password, no sign-up. Just visit the site and start playing. If you want to submit your score to the global leaderboard, you only enter a display name (no account required). Purchasing the Launch Special or Founder's Pack is a one-time checkout; you can optionally create an account afterward to make your unlock durable across devices, but it's not required.
Forkspawn runs on any device with a modern web browser and WebGL support. That means any desktop or laptop from roughly the last 6–7 years running Chrome, Edge, Firefox, or Safari, plus modern iPhones, Android phones, iPads, and Chromebooks. A dedicated GPU is helpful for maximum detail but not required — the engine scales quality to your hardware. You need an internet connection to load the game (~4 MB), and either a mouse and keyboard (desktop) or a touchscreen (mobile).
Yes. Forkspawn is fully playable on mobile phones and tablets with touch controls. A virtual joystick on the left controls movement, touch-drag on the right side controls aim, and on-screen buttons handle firing, reloading, jumping, sprinting, and weapon switching. The game automatically switches to fullscreen on mobile to give the touch controls room. It runs on iOS (Safari, Chrome) and Android (Chrome, Firefox, Samsung Internet). For the best aim precision, desktop with a mouse is recommended, but mobile play is a first-class experience — not an afterthought.
Forkspawn works on all major modern browsers: Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, Mozilla Firefox, and Apple Safari (desktop and mobile). Any browser released in the last few years with WebGL 2 support will run the game smoothly. For the best performance, use the latest version of Chrome or Edge. The game also works in Chromium-based browsers like Brave, Opera, and Vivaldi.
Forkspawn's total payload is approximately 4 MB — smaller than a single high-resolution photo. On a normal broadband connection the game loads in a few seconds. There are no large asset bundles, no shader pre-compilation stalls, and no loading screens beyond the initial load. Compare that to a typical AAA console title, which can require a 50–150 GB download plus multi-gigabyte patches.
Forkspawn uses a free-to-try, one-time-purchase model with no subscriptions and no microtransactions. The free demo (three waves, the FR-9 Carbine) costs nothing. To support the project or unlock the full game you choose one of three one-time tiers: the Supporter Edition at 0.99 (pay what you want from 0.99 — Founder badge on the leaderboard only, no gameplay unlock), the Launch Special at $2.99 (full game access + exclusive in-game Founder badge — 40% off the regular price, limited to the first 100 supporters), and the Founder's Pack at 2.99 (the regular-price complete edition — full game access + Founder badge, forever). You pay once and own it forever.
The Launch Special ($2.99, one-time) is the best-value way to unlock the full game — 40% off the regular 2.99 price, limited to the first 100 supporters. It includes: all three weapons (FR-9 Carbine, S-12 Breacher shotgun, and P-3 Sidearm pistol), endless wave mode so you can fight as long as you survive, an exclusive in-game Founder badge displayed during gameplay, and the ability to submit scores to the competitive leaderboard as a verified Founder. It's a single one-time payment — no subscription, no recurring charges, no microtransactions. After the first 100 supporters or the launch window ends, the price returns to 2.99 (the Founder's Pack).
No. Every Forkspawn purchase is a one-time payment. There are no subscriptions, no battle passes, no recurring charges, and no in-game microtransactions. You pay once and you own the full version permanently. If you bought the Founder's Pack, it's yours — even if the price changes later or the launch week discount ends.
Both the Launch Special ($2.99) and the Founder's Pack (2.99) unlock identical gameplay — all three weapons and endless waves, plus the exclusive in-game Founder badge. The only difference is the price: the Launch Special is a 40%-off limited-time discount for the first 100 supporters, while the Founder's Pack is the regular price. If the Launch Special is still available, that's the best deal. Once it's gone, the Founder's Pack at 2.99 is the standard way to unlock the full game.
The Supporter Edition (0.99, pay what you want) is the lowest-friction way to support Forkspawn. It grants an exclusive Founder badge displayed on the competitive leaderboard, but it does NOT unlock full gameplay — you still get the free demo's three waves. It's designed for players who enjoyed the demo, want to back the project, and want the badge, but aren't ready to commit to the full $2.99 Launch Special. You can pay more than 0.99 if you want to contribute more, and you can always upgrade to the Launch Special or Founder's Pack later.
If you're not satisfied with your purchase, contact support at [email protected] and we'll work with you to make it right. Because the game is fully playable as a free demo before you pay anything, you always know exactly what you're getting before you spend a dollar.
Forkspawn's current build is a single-player wave-survival shooter: you face escalating waves of AI enemies in a tactical arena. The competitive experience comes from the global leaderboard — you submit your score and rank against every other player worldwide, and you can challenge friends to beat your score via shareable links. Multiplayer PvP is on the roadmap for future updates; the current focus is delivering a flawless single-player browser FPS experience first.
Forkspawn features three distinct weapons, each with its own damage model, magazine size, fire rate, and effective range. The FR-9 Carbine is a versatile assault rifle — your all-purpose workhorse with a 30-round mag and fast fire rate. The S-12 Breacher is a combat shotgun that deals massive close-range damage (144 per hit) but with a small 6-round magazine and slow fire rate. The P-3 Sidearm is a semi-auto pistol for when you need to switch fast and place precise shots. In the free demo you start with the FR-9 Carbine; the Launch Special and Founder's Pack unlock all three, and you can switch between them mid-fight with the number keys.
Yes. Forkspawn uses hitscan ballistics — when you fire, the shot instantly registers along your crosshair line, with weapon-specific spread and recoil patterns. Headshots deal bonus damage. You aim down sights (ADS) for tighter accuracy, sprint with Shift for a speed boost (with a wider FOV), and manage reloads with R. Health and ammo pickups drop between waves, so resource management matters. Every shot lands where you aim — or doesn't, depending on your control of recoil and movement.
Forkspawn is a wave-survival shooter. Each wave spawns a group of AI enemies that grow tougher, faster, and more numerous as you progress. The free demo is three waves; the full version is endless — you fight until you're overwhelmed. Between waves, health and ammo pickups appear so you can recover and re-arm. Enemies include standard combatants, faster flankers, and heavier units, so you need to adapt your tactics and weapon choice wave by wave rather than camping one spot.
The Daily Challenge is a special game mode that gives every player the same weapon loadout, arena cover layout, enemy spawn pattern, and wave count on a given day — determined by a date-seeded config that resets at midnight UTC. It's a level playing field: the only variable is your skill. Daily Challenge scores are ranked on a separate daily leaderboard, so you can see how you stack up against everyone who played the same challenge today. Visit the /daily page to see today's challenge and the top 10 scores.
Yes. After the demo ends (victory or defeat), you can enter a name and submit your score to the global leaderboard — no account required. Your score is ranked against every player worldwide, and the top 50 are shown on the /compete page. You can also challenge a friend by sharing a link that includes your score; when they click it, the game loads immediately with your score to beat shown on the leaderboard afterward. Daily Challenge scores are ranked separately on the /daily page.
Yes. Forkspawn is designed to be embedded in iframes on game portals, blogs, and community sites. Visit the /embed-code page for a copy-paste iframe snippet, auto-scaling instructions, and a downloadable standalone ZIP build for portal submissions (CrazyGames, Itch.io, etc.). The embed works on both desktop and mobile, with cross-origin pointer-lock fallback (drag-look) for sites that block pointer lock.
Yes. Chromebooks run ChromeOS, which includes the Chrome browser with full WebGL support, so Forkspawn runs on Chromebooks without any extra software or configuration. It's a great option for school or low-cost devices that can't run heavyweight native games. See our Chromebook browser FPS guide on the blog for setup tips.
