Blade & Timber

Features
Read full description

One tap. One blade. A log that never stops spinning. Hurl a flying dagger into a turning timber log and land every throw. Graze a blade already stuck in the wood and the whole log shatters — the run ends right there. It is the kind of arcade knife game you pick up for thirty seconds and put down forty minutes later. THE LOG CARRIES MORE THAN BLADES Fruit spins past the timber — apples, oranges, pears. Slice one mid-flight for instant bonus points, and chain clean hits into a combo multiplier that keeps climbing as long as you do not miss. Coins drop as you play: bank them to unlock ten hand-drawn blade skins, or spend them to revive on the exact throw where you fell. Then there is everything trying to stop you. Bombs ride the log and blow the run apart on contact. Orbiting hazards sweep across your line. Iron shield arcs knock a blade clean away. Inksticks slow the timber down when you need a breath, and talismans absorb exactly one mistake — spend it wisely. EVERY LEVEL IS A NEW PROBLEM Clear a level and the timber spins faster. The direction flips when you least expect it. Milestone logs bring their own rules, openings tighten, and the rhythm you just learned stops working. There is no level cap and no mercy — every run lands on your score board, with your recent best and all-time best sitting there waiting to be beaten. New to the genre? An illustrated in-game guide walks through all 13 core mechanics, and it is there whenever you want a refresher. BRUSH AND INK Blade & Timber is drawn by hand in a wuxia ink-wash style: brush-stroke lettering, rice-paper grounds, ink spattering where each blade bites, and the dry crack of splintering wood. Five selectable scenes, each painted as its own hanging scroll. PICK IT UP ANYWHERE The whole game is one thumb and one tap, so it plays one-handed on a commute, in a queue, or in the two minutes before something else starts. Every run is short, every restart is instant, and nothing needs a connection — Blade & Timber is fully playable offline, with no timers, no energy bar and nothing asking you to come back tomorrow. It is a time killer that respects your time.
