In Fling Knight, the player takes on the role of a clumsy knight, swatting away incoming enemies and obstacles with a summoned sword. The player's goal is to clear increasingly difficult waves of arrows launched from a catapult to ultimately defeat the boss that fires them.
The player's character moves automatically, and all they need to do is time their sword's releases to knock arrows out of the air. The game runs entirely in the browser, with no need for downloads or registration required. By clearing each wave, players can earn higher scores and rewards, with an ultimate aim of triumphing over the faceless archer enemy at the game's core.
