Magic Knife
About Magic Knife
Lining up two or three enemy heads so a single throw takes all of them is what this game is actually asking for, even though tapping one at a time works fine at the start. The knife travels through what you have marked, so the decision each round is whether to clear the enemy in front of you now or wait a beat for a second one to walk into line. Waiting is riskier and worth more. It is a simple idea carried by that one choice, and levels get harder by giving you enemies that only briefly overlap.
How to Play
- Tap or click directly on an enemy head to mark it.
- Mark two or three heads before releasing to take them out in one throw.
- Wait for enemies to line up rather than clearing them individually.
- Take the safe single kill if a second target is not arriving in time.
Magic Knife FAQ
Is it worth waiting to line up multiple enemies?
Usually, since a multi-kill throw is worth considerably more than the same kills taken one at a time. The risk is that an enemy reaches you while you are holding out for a second target, so late levels turn it into a genuine judgement call.
