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.

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

If I could give zero would

Sooo many Ads. I unlocked something don’t even remember what it was but took me away from the main game then there was an ad. Then it would explain what I got and I’d close that out and another ad. I couldn’t even get back to my game because of the Ads. Had to close out the game then re start for it to bring me to the main part of the game. Then you play the game and it’s super short and there’s another ad. Then if you miss on the chest it asks if you want to watch an ad and if you say no then there’s another ad. It’s so awful. For then half the time the app is open you will be watching an ad!!! Even if the game just sits open on your phone while you do something real fast you’ll come back to another ad. Awful!!

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.

Uninstalling
Sun Jun 07 2026 Samshady1989

I have played so many phone games I can’t count them all. This game has a ridiculous amount of ads. I understand you can pay to get rid of the ads but let’s be real, nobody wants to give up their hard earned money just to get rid of ads on a phone game. I understand that the game developers need to make money so I’m ok with some ads but this game isn’t even fun simply because of the constant interruptions. You will spend more time watching ads then playing the game. That is greed in my opinion. I am uninstalling this game immediately and I would recommend that you keep scrolling for a different game as well.

Forces Ads Like Crazy

Fun game but incessant ads. Every time you touch something in the game it opens an ad. You can pay $3 to remove ads but I’m not doing that for a game I just started. You also can’t play on airplane mode or without wifi because they insist you have connection so they can show you more ads. Also knife skins and progress upgrades are designed in a way to get you to guess what… watch more ads. I get the developers want money, but this is most ads I’ve ever seen in a mobile game. Just deleted 💔

If you love long ads constantly interrupting your game
Mon Feb 06 2023 xxxTHEZEROxxx

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

TOO MANY ADS!!!
Sun Mar 22 2026 Jalanni

Game is alright but there is an excessive amount of ads you have to watch in order to play a match. I had to delete it I couldn’t even really enjoy it. A couple ads here and there I can do but it was just too much and I’m not gonna pay for no ads just for a phone game that’s just not me.

Ad after ad after ad
Mon Jan 23 2023 Anonymous crimson

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 👎
