Ball Up: Knife Racing is an innovative arcade game that combines the physics of knife flipping with the excitement of a race. Players must time their taps to flip the knife, using the momentum to travel across various obstacles and terrain. With a variety of knives to unlock and increasingly complex levels, you'll need to master the timing and rotation of every flip to reach the end. It's a test of skill, patience, and physics.

Our Expert Score

73/100

Ball Up: Knife Racing is a weirdly compelling hybrid that takes the 'knife flipping' trend and adds a racing twist. It’s a game of rhythm and timing; you’re not just throwing blades, you’re using the momentum of the flip to move forward. As a casual gaming expert, I found the core loop to be surprisingly zen-like once you get into the flow.

The challenge lies in the terrain. Different obstacles require different types of flips, and missing a landing can quickly end your 'race.' The unlockable knives aren't just cosmetic; their weight and rotation speed vary, which adds a subtle layer of mastery to the experience. It’s a simple concept that is perfectly executed for the 'boredom-busting' mobile market, offering quick rounds that are easy to jump into but difficult to truly master.

Mastering the Long Flip

For large gaps, wait until the knife is pointed slightly upwards before tapping again. This gives you extra height and distance, ensuring you don't fall into the pits between platforms.

It’s just fun to play around with and you know it’s good to pass the time if you’re bored, but there are some ads, but they’re not that many sounds good

Ads are killing this game

Mon Jun 24 2024 Wnepooh99

I like the game or pass the time but I can’t get though one level before I see 3-4 ads pop up. Then there is an ad after you complete a level and before you start another level. Also, when you “win” a certain prize you have to watch an as to actually receive your reward. I am not going to pay $3-$5 on a game with so many ads and one that I rarely play that’s just crazy. The creators should sit and just play the game and see all these ads. If not for all the ads I would have probably have considered keeping it on my phone to play and given the game more stars.

If you love long ads constantly interrupting your game

Game is fun until long unskipable ads pop up right in the middle of your game, I get they need to get money and I wouldn’t complain if it was the ads that came between rounds and you could ship after 5 seconds but these are so long I would have to close the game and reopen just to keep playing again. Don’t waste your time with this game it isn’t worth the 3 seconds it took me to download it

Ad after ad after ad

I understand that the developers needs to make some sort of profit but an ad every 30 seconds isn’t it, one game and it’s straight to ads, at that rate many people won’t even keep the game no longer than 5 minutes. Whoever reads these reviews save your time, do not get this game. There are plenty of games with the balance of ads and gameplay, this isn’t it. Zero stars in my opinion 👎

Really good

I thought this game GREAT when the pops the ball you may think it starts all over but it doesn’t it goes down just a bit

Crazy amount of Ads

Sun Dec 21 2025 Hookah Dan

This game could be fun if it didn’t have insane amounts of Ads, Ads that play in the corner while you are playing the game, ads that are triggered by the first button to appear to go to next level, ads that must be watched before continuing. At this point this company that used to make amazing games has just become a money grubbing ad filled hellscape.

Finally fun

This game used to have serious ad problems, and there was a lot of ads popping up, but now that the creator fixed it it’s a lot more fun and it’s finally worth spending money

Too easy, repetitive and BORING.

You are playing against a computer the entire time. It’s hard to loose at this game. I honestly had to try to let the computer win. Thought with higher achievements it may get harder. NOPE! And all the adds in between everything is the annoying icing on the cake. You can get a random add just by sitting on a tab for too long.
