Knife Ring
Gather a spinning ring of knives, shatter rival guards and strike unprotected ninjas in a shrinking dojo arena. Outlast up to 27 bots to be the last blade standing.
Knife Ring is a battle royale .io game set on a warm wooden dojo floor. Every fighter is surrounded by a ring of orbiting knives. Pick up loose blades to grow your ring, and when two rings touch the knives clash and shatter in a shower of sparks. Get a single blade onto a body that has no guard nearby and that ninja is out, dropping their knives for everyone else to grab.
Each run starts calm: the computer bots spend the first seconds farming knives before they start hunting, and they grow bolder as the clock runs. Every twenty seconds or so the red zone closes in, stripping a knife each half second from anyone caught outside, and after the sixth shrink a sudden-death squeeze ends the match. A live top-ten kill leaderboard, a kill feed and a minimap show who is dangerous. Use your dash to lunge through a weakened guard or escape a bigger ring. Your score comes from kills, survival time and final placement, and it also feeds your saved belt progress from White to Black, with each new belt bringing a bigger and braver lobby of bots.
Knife Ring suits players who like short, tense arena fights with a clear goal. Tip: never charge a ring larger than yours. Let rivals wear each other down, then dash in while their guard is thin.
How to play
Move to collect loose knives, which orbit around you as a guard. When rings touch, knives break against each other. Touch a rival's body with your knife where they have no guard to knock them out. Stay inside the shrinking zone, since standing outside costs knives and then your life. Be the last fighter left. Score comes from kills, survival time and placement, and it builds your belt rank.
