Back before we had wide screen deluxe cinematic experiences in the palm of our hand, mobile games used to involve very simple ideas delivered in a very simple format. This was a canvas that developers could use to distill the essence of fun gameplay down to a very pure form. Games like Ketchapp's Knife Hit [Free] were the fare of yesteryear but the great thing about these tiny little micro games is that it is still a great format. They still provide a very concentrated burst of fun you can sit down for a few minutes of a time and this is reflected in how well Knife Hit is doing.
The premise of Knife Hit is that you have a whole bunch of knives you are trying to toss at a spinning object and get them to stick. Hitting the hilt of a previously tossed knife will end your run and force you to start over in your quest to become the best Knife Hitter ever. As you progress on towards tougher targets, some will come pre-stuck with knives, some will change speed or reverse and some will have apples sitting on them that can be hit and gathered as a currency. This app may not have the most universal appeal, but for folks that like to play with sharp objects this one has some pretty solid vicarious enjoyment, and like any good game that simulates an activity you should probably not do in real life, there is a shop full of items that can be unlocked to do the deed with. Some of them are goofy, some deadly, and we just got some great news that the arsenal of knives has just been expanded...
