Knife Throw Game

A one-tap timing game in the knife hit style. A wooden log spins at the top of the screen; tap to throw, land every knife in a gap, and split the log to reach the next stage. Every fifth log is a boss that swings back and forth.

How to play Knife Throw Game

• Tap, click or press Space to throw the knife at the bottom of the screen straight up into the spinning log.
• The knife sticks where it lands and spins with the log. If a new knife hits a knife that is already in the log, it bounces off and the run is over.
• Throw all the knives shown at the bottom left to split the log and clear the stage. Some logs start with knives already in them.
• Stars sit on the edge of some logs. Land a knife right under a star to collect it for 3 bonus points.
• Every knife scores 1 point. Clearing a log adds 2 points, and every fifth log is a boss worth 10, with extra knives and a log that speeds up, slows down or swings back and forth.
• Choose Relaxed for a slower log and more room between knives, or Expert for faster spins and tighter gaps.

Controls

• Touch or mouse: tap or click anywhere to throw.
• Keyboard: Space or Enter throws. P or Esc pauses.

Tips

• Throw at a steady rhythm on a steadily spinning log: equal timing gives evenly spaced knives.
• Watch the gap, not the knife. Throw as the widest open stretch of wood comes round to the bottom.
• On swinging logs, wait for the moment the log slows down to change direction, it is the easiest time to aim.
• Stars are worth chasing only when the space under them is clear.
