Knife Hit
Throw knives into a spinning log without hitting the knives already stuck in it. The log speeds up and changes direction.
Knife Hit is a timing game with exactly one input and a surprisingly cruel difficulty curve. A log spins in the middle of the screen and you throw knives at it; each one that lands sticks out and becomes an obstacle for the next throw.
So the game gets harder because of your own success. By the eighth knife there is very little bare wood left, and the log has started changing speed and reversing direction mid-rotation. Boss logs appear every five stages with more hit points and nastier rotation patterns, and apples stuck to the log give you currency for new knives.

Tips
- Throw just before the gap reaches the top rather than when it is there. The knife takes time to travel.
- Hit the apples when you can. They are the only income, and new knives genuinely change the hitbox.
- When the log reverses, wait a full rotation before throwing. Guessing the new rhythm costs the run.
