What's wrong with this game?

In Knives you throw knives at a spinning target and try to land each one in an open gap. Every knife you throw stays stuck in the target, so the free space gets smaller with each throw.

How to play Knives

Desktop

Click or tap to throw a knife at the rotating target.

Mobile and tablet

Knives works on phones and tablets in portrait mode. Each throw is a single tap on the screen, the same way most tap games work.

About Knives

It plays like a classic one-button arcade game.

If a new knife hits one that is already in the target, you fail. Find the open spaces and you move on to the next level, where the target spins at a different speed and your timing from the last round no longer fits. That makes it a pure skill game about reading the rotation before you let go.

Key features

  • You throw blades one by one at a rotating target, a simple take on sword games.
  • Every knife stays in the target and blocks that spot.
  • Hitting a knife that is already in place means you fail.
  • The rotation speed changes from level to level.

Tips & tricks

  • Watch the target spin for a moment at the start of each level, because the speed is different every time.
  • Aim for the widest gap you can see instead of the first free spot that comes around.
  • Do not spam throws like in a clicker game. One extra knife into a filled spot is enough to fail.
