How to play
- Press Start. A wooden log spins above you, and a knife waits at the bottom.
- Tap the log, or press Space, to throw. The knife flies straight up and sticks wherever the log's edge is at that moment.
- Throw all your knives (shown at the bottom left) to clear the stage. If a knife hits one already in the log, the run is over.
- Hit an apple on the rim for 2 extra points. Each stage spins faster or changes direction, and every fifth log is a boss.
About this game
Knife Throw is a game of timing. A round of wood turns in front of you, and each tap sends a knife flying up into its lower edge. The log keeps turning, so the knives you have already thrown come round again and again, and each new knife has to go into a gap between them.
The first stages turn steadily, which makes them a warm-up. After that the log begins to speed up and slow down as it spins, and from the fourth stage some logs swing back the other way, so the gap you were waiting for can arrive early or late. Some logs also start with knives already in them, which leaves fewer safe places.
Every knife that sticks scores a point. Apples sit on the rim of some logs; a knife that lands on one cuts it and earns two extra points. Every fifth log is a boss: it holds more knives, wants more from you, and moves in less predictable ways. Clearing a stage bursts the log and brings the next one.
A run ends the moment a knife hits another knife, and your score is everything you have stuck so far. Every stage can be cleared with patience: there is always a clear spot coming round if you wait for it. Your best score is saved in this browser.
