ABOUT THE GAME

Knives is a fast-paced arcade game built around timing, focus, and clean execution. Your goal is simple but far from easy. You must throw knives at a spinning target without hitting any blades already stuck in it. At first, the pace feels manageable, but the challenge quickly ramps up as the target speed changes and safe gaps become harder to read.

This game rewards patience more than speed. Every throw matters, and one rushed decision can end a strong run instantly. Knives is easy to understand within seconds, yet hard to master over time, making it perfect for short sessions or score-chasing marathons.

How to Play

The objective is to land all your knives into the spinning target without colliding with existing blades. Each level gives you a limited number of knives. You must place every one safely to clear the stage.

As you progress, the rotation speed changes, directions may switch, and available gaps shrink. Success depends on learning the rhythm of the spin and choosing the right moment to throw rather than reacting too quickly.

Controls

Mouse

  • Click to throw a knife toward the target

Keyboard

  • Press the spacebar to throw a knife

Touch

  • Tap anywhere on the screen to throw

No movement controls are needed. Timing is the only thing that matters.

Tips & Strategies

  1. Watch at least one full rotation before throwing your first knife. Early observation helps you understand speed changes.
  2. Do not throw knives back to back unless the rotation is slow and predictable.
  3. Aim for the largest open gaps first. Smaller gaps become riskier later in the level.
  4. If the target changes direction, pause briefly and reset your timing.
  5. Treat every knife as your last. Rushing to finish a level usually leads to mistakes.

Most players lose early in Knives because they confuse speed with skill. The game feels like it rewards fast reactions, but in reality it punishes impatience. New players often throw knives as soon as they see an opening, without checking if the rotation speed is stable. This works in early levels but quickly fails once the target starts changing rhythm.

Another common issue is panic after a close call. When a knife barely fits, many players immediately throw the next one, assuming the gap will stay safe. That is when collisions happen. Strong players reset their timing after every throw, even if it means waiting longer than feels comfortable. The best runs come from treating each knife as a separate decision instead of part of a rapid sequence.
