About

Knife Master

Features
Read full description

Throw colorful knives, clear the layers, and empty the board! Combine the thrill of knife throwing with a mind-bending puzzle! Your goal is clear: match the knives with their corresponding colored target logs to smash them and clear the entire area. But be careful; the logs are stacked in layers, and you must first remove the obstacles in front to reach the ones in the back. How to Play: - Tap and Throw: When you tap a target log, the matching colored knife is thrown and smashes the log. - Progress Strategically: Solve the layered structure to open the path to the logs underneath - Watch the Holder: Unmatched knives go to the "Holder" area. If all the slots in this area fill up completely and there are no matching knives left in the goal, you lose the game!
