What Makes Blades Away: Knife Throwing Stand Out
Physics based, 2D blade throwing simulation game with lots of unique blades to collect and master.
Knife throwing has never been this easy to pick up and this challenging to fully master. Throw axes, knives, swords, ninja stars and other blades from all across the world. Huge rewards for skill and perception.
Collect dozens of unique blades. Each blade is weighted and shaped according to its unique essence. Hyper detailed hitboxes create a truly next-gen hit detection experience for each individual blade. Buttery smooth 60 frames per second gameplay feels perfect for throwing these pointy bois.
Unlock new skill throws unique to each blade by earning medals based on performance and not time spent or money paid. Skill throws add multipliers that open up even more gameplay opportunities. Slow motion replays show you the best throw from each of your play sessions for your review.
If you love knife throwing in movies or anime, you'll feel right at home with your favorite fictional blade in your firm grasp. Direct control over each throw means no two throws will ever be the same. It's all about accuracy, control and creative strategy. No arbitrary controls here. Just you, the blade and the ultra dynamic physics of hitting that hardwood with a satisfying thunk!
Some tips:
○ Some blades are easier to use than others
○ More challenging blades earn more rewards
○ Overview each level's target at start of round
○ Unlock Skill Shots by mastering blades
○ Use Skill Shots to get the most coins
○ Mastery ranks can be skipped with skill
○ Skipping mastery earns more rewards and avoids grind

○ Learning to control rotation is the fastest way to improve your skills
○ Some blades are heavier or have different balance than others
○ Blades with a single point are almost always harder
○ There is no one right way to throw any blade
○ Try different blades in your collection to see what works best for you
○ Levels change daily, but we're working on a selection UI
○ Some blades will be much better for some levels
○ Levels have lots of secret objectives that are worth finding
○ Performance stats can be viewed for each blade in the collection
○ Simulation quality setting in main menu for older devices
○ Skill shots stack by addition
○ Combo Meters grant an additional multiplier to your score
○ Blade of the Day unlocks after you own 5 total blades
○ With Blade of the Day you get x3 and x5 multiplier bonuses every day

Community Insight:
We just want to thank the creators of this game for not flooding the game with ads. Ive played for 15-20 min straight and never seen a single ad. The game is super relaxing to play and the fact it doesnt have ads makes us enjoy it and actually want to spend money on knife packs. We wish more games could be like this one.
Wish they would update it we have all the knives almost diamond could use some more challenge.
This super simple yet very entertaining game is easily a must have classic for all ages and types of gamers to enjoy.
Had it for a day now and have been working to get all gold stars on the throwing star. We were wondering what happens when you get all 5? Thank you very underrated game.
Ive been playing this game for half a year Ive unlocked EVERY blade in the entire game and have fully diamond mastered 53 out of the 83 blades. This game has SO much detail and engineering put into it and it is completely ad free it. The physics mechanics are phenomenal and the point system is detailed to an extreme. This game is fun and relaxing we enjoy it because it is not made to make money it was just made by someone who enjoys making games that are fun. We could not recommend this game enough. Ps.(super excited for the new update please keep this game going).
Been playing this game for a while and its hands down the best knife game app! It never gets old and works well to occupy our 6 year old when Im needing a breath at the grocery store etc. Thanks.
We love the game and overall it only needs one change. How you cant change the map, It gets annoying because the forest map is the better one.
Fun game but we went on this morning and all our progress is gone! Its having us start at the very beginning after putting in a lot of hours.
Why cant you go back to the training dojo. It was kind of fun and nice to just throw at a target in there and practice. And how come you cant just change the map? It changes daily but why not just be able to choose where to throw.. Those are our two complaints otherwise its good.
This game is awesome but it feels unfinished.
We only have two more blades to own but for the life of us we cant get the Stonk to stick. Does anyone have any tips? (no pun intended).
We dont usually write reviews, but this game well deserves it. This game is an awesome game for hours of fun or just a few minutes here and there. In order to unlock new blades, you dont have to do IAPs, as the IAP options will become available for in-game currency after the promotion. Theres also NO ADS for this free game! Because of that, we made an IAP to support this awesome game.
We dont really leave reviews but we felt like this one was needed. Its an overall really fun game, we love how the different blades have different feels to them and how you have to change the way you throw different blades, the only trouble Im having is figuring out how to get more blades then the ones that are currently present. Im not sure if they are coming out later but from the ones we saw in the picture previews there are a lot of blades that are missing and Ill like to be able to experience them and different blades then just the one that are the basic available 9 we currently have, otherwise its a really fun game and we enjoy it very much.
Super cool game we almost have all the knives Some cool things that would be added -Distance measurement -Ability to choose maps -More knives -.
Really like the game just wish there was more maps for the knives and then longer maps as well so you can throw farther.
Currently our favorite mobile game. Please add the option to choose a map though. Also we appreciate that visual update on some of the knives they're lookin nice Also we'd like to report a visual bug. Chonk looks exactly like The Butcher after the most recent update.
This game is just too hard to play we cant spin the knife right and fail to hit bullseye. Please make to controls easier.
