A coin game with a violent twist
Bloody Knuckles Free is a game for the iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch that pits you against a computer or a friend to see who can cause the most damage in the least amount of hits.
Bloody Knuckles Free is a relatively simple game. Players take turns spinning a silver coin on a wooden surface. Whoever knocks the spinning coin down first has to place his or her virtual fist on the table while the other player gets a shot at bashing the coin against their opponent's knuckles. This back and forth action continues until one player manages to make the other player's knuckles bleed, which is determined by the computer and not how hard you shoot the coin.
Bloody Knuckles Free has a lot of issues that take away from making the game enjoyable. The somewhat violent imagery of bleeding knuckles entirely aside, the app crashes and freezes frequently. Bloody Knuckles Free also has a tendency not to recognize your swipes, which allows the computer to beat you more often than not. Another point of contention some users might have with Bloody Knuckles Free is that you can't move your fist to avoid being hit directly by your opponent. This makes Bloody Knuckles Free get dull really quickly since it's only one or two shots in your direction before you end up losing. Users who prefer more violent games will probably want to consider a more engaging game like Touch KO.
Bloody Knuckles Free is good to wile away a few minutes of boredom, but likely won't be a mainstay in your app collection.
