Common questions
FAQWhy do I keep missing the knife when I try to catch it?
Move directly under the falling knife and press the catch button as early as you can. When several players go for the same knife, the first one to press the button wins it.
How do I land a throw on a moving target?
Your best windows are the brief pause after they finish a dash and any moment they stop moving.
Do I need to spend real money to enjoy the game?
No. Every part of the gameplay is available for free. Coins come from winning rounds in the normal course of play, so you can unlock skins over time without any purchase.
