About Knife Shooting

It is a short arcade game where timing matters far more than aim.

Most levels turn into an action race against a computer opponent who climbs the pole at the same time. The first one to reach the top wins the level, and piercing the ball or hitting a red object costs you several knives.

The whole game runs on one mouse button, so it plays like a clicker where you hold instead of tap. Your supply of knives never runs out, each knife sticks just above the last one, and the ball bounces straight up again every time it lands on your top knife. Keep firing while it falls and you will stab it.

Red objects move back and forth on the way up. A long stream of knives gets you higher fast, but sooner or later it runs into one of them if you never pause.

Coins you earn while playing buy new looks for the ball and the knives. The game world has a simple 2.5D style.

Quick summary

  • You start at the bottom of the pole as the ball gets its first bounce.
  • You fire knives to build a ladder that keeps lifting the ball higher.
  • You pause whenever the ball drops or a red object passes, because a hit removes several knives.
  • You win the level when your knives reach the top before your opponent's.

Key features

  • One mouse button controls everything in this hypercasual climb.
  • You get an endless supply of knives.
  • A computer opponent races you to the top in many levels.
  • Hitting the ball or a red object takes away several of your knives.
  • Coins buy new looks for the ball and the knives.

Tips & tricks

  • Watch the ball as it falls and stop firing early enough to leave it some room.
  • Wait until several red objects have moved out of the way before you speed past them.
  • Throw in short bursts between bounces rather than holding the button the whole time.

Frequently asked questions

What happens if a knife hits the ball?
You get a penalty and several of your knives are removed, which sets your climb back.
Who is the opponent?
A computer player that climbs the pole at the same time as you. It shows up in many of the levels.
Do I need to aim the knives?
No. Every knife flies in a straight line and sticks in the pole above the last one, so all you control is when to throw.
Can I change how the knives look?
Yes. Coins you earn while playing buy new looks for the knives and the ball, a small extra for anyone who likes collecting blades in sword games.
