Etymology
SteamThis game places players in a challenging environment where they must flexibly use the A and D keys to move their characters and avoid knives falling from the sky. The game features a clean and vivid visual style with high contrast colors, making the fallen knife stand out and adding tension. There is a sense of urgency in the game, and every knife landing will enhance your alertness. Players start with three lives and lose one life every time they are hit by a knife. The longer you live, the higher your score and the greater the challenge. Over time, the speed and frequency of blade drops have increased, posing greater challenges for players. This is a game that tests reaction speed and operational skills, perfect for those seeking excitement and challenges.
