### 4/5 — I don't understand why I can not play with the other knifes.

*2017-08-09, version 2.0.7*

I see you may have to buy it but it may not be worth it. You just make it harder for money? Unlock it

### 2/5 — Game breaking hit registration

*2014-03-07, version 2.0.7*

It's a good idea with lots of potential ruined by horrid hit reg

### 4/5 — Fun!

*2010-10-26, version 0*

This game is simple to play, but it really grows on you. After a few tries, the dance pattern becomes ingrained in the brain, and your speeds pick up...you start to feel like it's time to impress friends with a real knife & someone's hand! The best thing is that the skills you pick up here work in real life very well. I've used a ballpoint pen on my son and didn't poke him once!

### 3/5 — eh

*2010-10-09, version 0*

This game is okay for a while, but then you get ridiculously high scores for each weapon, and you can't beat it and end up deleting. add more knives!

### 4/5 — Ok game

*2010-04-03, version 0*

6.158 is my highest score. I think it is annoying you have to tap twice to end it though

### 4/5 — Knife Dancing

*2010-03-08, version 0*

I think that knife dancing is pretty fun but also very challenging. When u r playing it gets very hard 2 get in between the fingers but anyone who likes 2 play this game in real life would love it and so would people who don't. The bottom line is it is a great app

### 5/5 — What's so bad?

*2010-03-02, version 0*

I mean why are the reviews and score so bad? It's a good app after you figure out how to play and after you get all the knives. Someone tell me what they and everyone else dislikes about this app.

### 4/5 — Krapps

*2010-03-02, version 0*

If you hate the game because of the crayon then go to swappit type in krapps and everything is unlocked...!

### 5/5 — Amazing I  it

*2010-03-01, version 0*

Very awesome app!  I play it all the time and still have tons of fun. GET IT NOW!!!!!

### 4/5 — Fun for a while

*2010-03-01, version 0*

This app is fun for a while but that's it, but didn't expect much i mean it's free.

### 5/5 — Fun

*2010-03-01, version 0*

I hate the negitive reviews on this app it's pretty fun and u can unlock all the knifes for FREE get it it's harmless fun ;-)

### 2/5 — Not so good

*2010-02-28, version 0*

For one thing the graphics are alright, and there is no customization or variety in this game.

THE FULL GAME

Still not much variety in this Full version, you can choose from different thing to stab youre hand with, but thats all youre going to get. If you think youre going to have as much fun as you did playing five finger fillet on your computer than you are sadly mistaken. The scoring system lacks key parts and you can go at any speed you want. There is no goal to reach in this game.

THE LITE VERSION

Dont even waste your time, the only weapon you get is a crayon... Not much fun. Way to easy and lacks all the features included in the full version plus more!  Over all its a waste of space.

ALL IN ALL I GIVE THIS GAME A 2.5 
IT MARCHEs ALONG THE IPHONE/IPOD TOUCH BUT DOES NOT DANCE

I hate this game it's nothing like the real game find a different game because this one is not my favorite.👎

### 1/5 — Worst app ever!

*2016-05-01, version 2.0.7*

Don't waste your data on this excuse of a app

### 1/5 — Why is this made

*2015-11-01, version 2.0.7*

It's so inappropriate it lets kids think it's ok it play the knife game who does that!😡delete the the game!

### 1/5 — Great game needs a lot of improvement

*2013-11-21, version 2.0.7*

Let me say it is by far my favorite game but I bought all the knives and I felted this app for a few days and there is no restore purchases button. PLEASE ADD THAT. That would be awesome. Thus saying that I think that this app is awesome. 
-???

### 1/5 — Wack

*2013-10-24, version 2.0.7*

Wack

### 1/5 — Beware you will be robbed through in app purchase

*2010-03-12, version 0*

I downloaded this for my son. It will allow the in app purchase without the need of entering your iTunes password. Don't bother contacting apple they won't respond to your request for a refund

### 1/5 — another  "GATEWAY fund raising app"

*2010-03-03, version 0*

If you choose anything over the crayon it goes out to PURCHASE the pen and knives. 
It doesnt say anything about this in the details, or inside the app itself until you click on the pen..... knives. 
I am getting sick of these gateway fund raising apps, "oh to complete the game spend more $$$"

### 1/5 — Gimmick

*2010-03-01, version 0*

This is awful they make it seem like you get all of the tools on this page but they give you the crayon only and there is an in app purchase that you can purchase very easily by accident. this is using the newer in app purchase feature to take advantage of people and it shouldn't be allowed. DO NOT buy this app.

### 1/5 — Gayest game I have ever played

*2010-02-26, version 0*

I took thus game of the second I finishe playing it tha first time. I mean come on...a crayon?!? For cryin out loud! Who in tha heck wants to stab fingers with a crayon. Worst app I've ever played in my life. If I coul rate this game a zero, i would. This crap deserves lower than a zero.

### 1/5 — SCAM!!!!!!!

*2010-02-25, version 0*

Never buy this app!!!!  It's so it's a scam!!!  Never bought a worse app in my life.  On the last part, when you are just about to finish it it says you lose even though I tried it 300 times and I
Am sue I don't
Lose every time.

### 5/5 — I don't care if KRAPPS gets you all the free knives this app is CRAP

The only money they will EVER get is the money that people accidentally spend in-app!
