Knife Ninja Game Review

Knife Ninja Game Background

Knife Ninja is a simple knife-throwing game by Instant Game Studio. Toss all your knives into a rotating wheel-shaped object to clear each level. Avoid hitting any of the knives already lodged in.

How to Play Knife Ninja

Left click or tap on the play button at the center of the screen to begin.

Left click or tap anywhere on the screen to shoot knives at the spinning object. Try to shoot the knives at the apples for a bonus. Shoot all the knives to finish the level. Avoid hitting any of the knives already lodged into the object. Hitting any of these knifes is an instant game over.

Basic Gameplay Advice

You earn 1 point for every knife you successfully lodge into the object and a bonus point for the apples you cut.

You automatically start at Level 1. Each time you finish all 9 knives, you unlock the next level. Levels progressively become more difficult. Keep playing for as long as you can.

Advanced Playing Tips & Strategy

The object rotates in an erratic pattern that’s hard to predict. Time your shot with care so that the knife has a good chance at sticking to an empty spot. Ideally, you should shoot when the object slows down and a largely empty spot aligns with the current knife. Shoot rapidly only when an empty spot in the object moves past you.

The game has no time limit, so you can take your time shooting.

Educational Aspects

This game is an exercise in patience. Players are encouraged to wait for the right opportunities to shoot and are dissuaded from shooting rapidly outside of a few opportune moments.

Player Age Recommendations

This game is suitable for all ages. We recommend this game for people who like idle tap-timing knife toss games. Children should, however, be warned that playing with real knives is dangerous.
