Slow Mo Strike is a free Android game from KAYAC Inc. with over 10 million installs on Google Play and a 4.5 rating from about 12 thousand ratings. You hold the screen to slow time, trace a line of up to 30 knives, then let go and watch them fly together. It needs Android 5.1 or newer and is rated Teen.
Your first stage: hold, trace, release
After installing, the whole control scheme is one finger. Hold to slow time, drag to lay knives along your path, and lift to send every one of them forward at full speed. The first few stages teach this loop before the puzzles get more demanding.
A longer line means more knives, up to the cap of 30. A single well-timed release can clear a whole field, and a slow-motion camera replays the moment. Version 017 is the current build, updated on October 19, 2026.
Barrels, ropes, bridges and the ×3 gate
The puzzle side comes from the objects in each stage. Reactive barrels set off large chain reactions, cut ropes drop payloads from above, and broken bridges send everything on them into the pit. Knives passing through a ×3 gate triple in number, so where you draw the line matters as much as how long it is.
Targets vary too: shielded ones, splitting ones, rolling giants, flying saucers and metal brutes that deflect knives. New throwing styles such as shurikens, boomerangs, blazing trails and chain lightning change how you draw. The look is minimal and neon, with sound tuned to match each hit.
When Kick the Buddy or Level Devil fit better
Slow Mo Strike is a short, physics-driven puzzle game with a single input. If you want a sandbox of weapons and silly destruction, Kick the Buddy-Fun Action Game is a closer match. Level Devil suits players who prefer trial-and-error platforming over planning a throw.
For multiplayer or endless runners, look at Stumble Guys, Aquapark.io, Snake.io or Subway Surfers City. Slow Mo Strike is a solo game built around stage-by-stage planning, so those titles play very differently.
