Knife Smash
About Knife Smash
Spinning wooden targets rotate at the top of the screen and every knife you have already landed stays stuck in them. That is the whole tension of Knife Smash: your own successful throws become the obstacles for the next one, so a board that started wide open closes in on itself as you clear it. One touch throws, the rotation speed varies between stages, and some targets change direction partway through a spin. Unlockable knife designs are cosmetic but give the accumulated score somewhere to go beyond the leaderboard.
How to Play
- Tap or click to throw a knife at the spinning target.
- Watch the rotation and release when the gap between existing blades is facing you.
- Avoid hitting a knife already embedded in the target — that ends the attempt.
- Clear the required number of throws to finish a stage and unlock new knife designs.
