Touch the screen — and time slows to a crawl. Trace a line with your finger, and knives appear along your path — one after another, floating in frozen time. Let go, and the world snaps back to full speed: every knife flies at once, clearing the stage in a single neon burst. One-finger control, endless chain reactions. ■ One finger. That's all. - Hold: time slows down - Trace: fill your line with knives - Release: they all fly at once! No complicated controls — instantly satisfying from the very first touch. ■ The longer you trace, the bigger the burst One knife is nice. A whole line of them is spectacular. Clear the whole field in one perfectly timed release, and a cinematic slow-mo camera captures your finest moment. ■ Think before you release - Set off reactive barrels for one huge chain reaction - Cut ropes to drop payloads from above - Break bridges and watch everything tumble into the pit - Send knives through a ×3 gate and they triple — timing is everything! The right target, in the right order, at the right moment. Every stage is a little physics puzzle. ■ Targets that keep you thinking Shielded targets, splitting targets, rolling giants, flying saucers, metal brutes that deflect your knives… every stage brings a new twist to outsmart. ■ Unlock new ways to throw Shurikens, boomerangs, blazing trails, chain lightning — each unlock changes how you draw your line. ■ A world of pure neon Minimal, glowing, and satisfying — visual and audio feedback tuned for that perfect "aaah" moment. Perfect for a quick, satisfying break — or a deep arcade session. Five minutes turns into "just one more stage" before you know it. Stop time. Draw your line. Let them fly.
