📖 About Knife Smash
Throw knives at spinning targets, timing each shot to land in empty gaps—one wrong throw and it's over.
Knife Smash is a fast-paced arcade game released in April 2021 and updated in April 2025 . It strips knife-throwing down to a pure precision challenge: you tap to fling a knife at a rotating target, and your only job is to time each throw so it lands in an empty space between the knives already stuck there .
The difficulty ramps up steadily as the target's rotation speed shifts and the gaps become harder to catch . Hit an existing knife and the run ends immediately . Along the way, you can unlock a collection of quirky, unusual knives as you clear stages and progress .It runs in portrait orientation directly in your browser on both desktop and mobile, with simple one-touch controls that are easy to pick up but challenging to master .
