Knife Flip

Flip a knife. Catch it by the handle. Don't get stabbed.

A one-button arcade game about the world's worst party trick. Charge your throw, send the blade spinning, and grab it at exactly the right moment. One bad catch and the run is over.

How to play

• Hold (tap, mouse or Space) to charge. The power meter fills, drains and fills again, so let go at the right moment.
• Release to throw. More power means more flips, and a faster knife to catch.
• Tap while the knife falls toward your hand to grab it.
• Handle toward your palm: clean catch. Nearly perfectly upright: PERFECT, with double points and a multiplier that climbs up to x5.
• Catch the blade, or let it fall past you, and the run ends.

Features

• Daily challenge: everyone gets the same throws each day. Retry as often as you like; your best counts.
• Online leaderboards: Today, This week and All-time. Scores are verified on the server by replaying your inputs, so no faked high scores.
• Shop: earn coins every run and spend them on knives, spin trails, gloves and backgrounds. All cosmetic, never pay-to-win.
• Challenges: four items can only be earned, like the Golden Knife (5 perfects in a row) and the Knight's Gauntlet (25 catches in one run).
• Phone-first: plays great in portrait on mobile, and just as well with a mouse or keyboard.

No account needed. All art is drawn in code and all sounds are synthesized live. Made with Phaser.
