This game is extremely simple. You have a knife and the ability to throw or stab it infinitely. You use the knife to kill enemy stick figures when they are falling from the sky.

Gameplay

The game can last pretty long, depending on your aiming skill. If you aim correctly, it takes just one throw or stab to kill an enemy. You suffer damage when enemy falls right on top of you.

Graphics and Audio

The graphics are basic, mouse-drawn, stick figures, with an artistic touch, but without many details. When they kick you with their legs, the motion looks realistic. The sound consists of some basic effects, like throwing sounds.

Special Feature

The relay mode can be viewed as a special feature of the Knife game. That is, in addition to the arcade mode of accumulating kills, you can also run back and forth to collect flags, and kill people on the way if you want.

Bottom Line

Knife is boring, repetitive, and tasteless, but can be fun for a few minutes. It has no high-score system, so you can't compare your score to other people online. You can, however, compare scores with your friends, if they are honest about it.
