I think the controls might need to be a little more explicit. I'm still not entirely clear on what the best strategy is for throwing but what I ended up doing was spinning the mouse in a circle to "charge up". That made it feel best, but I'm not sure its the best for accuracy. Was verr fun once I figured it out, but I left a pretty big knife graveyard the first time lol. I, for a moment, thought it was unplayable, but then read the comments, so I knew there was something I was doing wrong. Nice game though, cool idea.

Thanks for the feedback, I'll try to give the player more instruction on how throwing works. I ended up writing a comment on the game page instead of in-game (which I should of done). The best way to get accuracy in your throw is by lining up which direction you want the throw to go toward, and pull straight back, and then forward again and release. So kind of like a slingshot. That will give a very straight line result, but sometimes I end up doing a spinning to charge up (as you said you've done) as well because it will give a spinning effect on the knife (which I think is cool haha)
