Knife Punch

Hurl knives into a spinning wooden wheel while avoiding the blades you've already stuck — one wrong throw and it's all over.

You've got a spinning wooden target and a stack of knives. Tap to throw, but every knife stays lodged in the wheel. Clip a blade you already threw? The run ends instantly. That's the whole loop — yet it gets tense fast. I remember holding my breath on level 12, when the wheel suddenly reversed direction mid-spin. That reversal caught me off guard more times than I'd like to admit. The controls are bare bones: tap anywhere to launch the next knife. No aiming reticle, no power meter. Your timing is everything. As levels climb, the wheel spins faster, sometimes switches direction, and occasionally the target shrinks or splits into multiple rings. I found that waiting for the wheel to make a full rotation before throwing helped me stop clipping my own blades. This isn't a deep game by any stretch, but it's perfect for a five-minute break. The 'one more try' pull is strong, especially when you're one knife away from clearing a stage. If you enjoy games like Knife Hit or Flip Master, you'll get the same dopamine hit here. Just don't blame me when you're still playing at 2 a.m.

Aim and tap to throw the knife

Wait for the wheel to complete a full spin before throwing when blades are clustered. Watch the rotation direction change — it often reverses right after a boss level. Don't spam taps; one knife per second keeps your rhythm steady. Aim for the thickest wood sections if the target has multiple rings. If you keep dying on the same stage, close and reopen the game to reset the pattern.
