Knife Storm
By RHM Interactive
Knife Storm is a free browser game about timing your throws at a spinning wooden target. Blades stick where they land, so every extra knife has less safe space to fit into — clip one already in the wheel and the run ends. Three modes cover classic target throwing, throwing at flying fruit, and slicing fruit with the cursor, solo or with a second player.

How to Play Knife Storm
In Classic mode a round target spins in the middle of the screen while your next knife waits below it. Each throw sends the blade straight up; if it bites into open wood it stays there and the score counter at the top left ticks up. The rows of blades along the left and right edges show how many you still have to plant, and the counter at the top tracks your progress against the best score in the corner.
The danger grows with every hit, because stuck handles fan out around the rim and turn the wheel into a moving wall of steel. One knife striking another ends the attempt. Between rounds the game offers options such as rotating the knife, and prompts you to press up or touch to launch the next stage.
Shoot mode swaps the wheel for flying fruit on a timer, with bombs to avoid, while Ninja mode has you slicing fruit by dragging the cursor across them — slicing a bomb ends it.
Tips
- Watch the rim before throwing: aim for the widest gap between two planted handles rather than throwing on rhythm.
- Early knives set up the whole round, so spread the first few hits out instead of clustering them on one side.
- In Shoot mode the clock keeps running, so take the fruit that is closest to the centre line and leave bombs alone.
- In Ninja mode long drags through several fruits in one motion earn combo points — but plan the line so it misses bombs.
Game Modes
- Classic — plant every knife in a rotating target without hitting the blades already in it
- Shoot — throw at flying fruit against a time limit while dodging bombs
- Ninja — slice fruit with the cursor and chain combos, avoiding bombs
- Each mode playable solo or with 2 players
