Axe Time: Slow-Mo Axe Throwing

Hold the screen and the battlefield slows to a crawl. Trace a line and throwing axes appear along it, hovering in frozen time. Let go, and every axe flies at once!

AXE TIME is a one-finger arcade game of slow motion and chain reactions. You are a Viking hero with a time-bending rune, holding the shield wall against a march of tough-but-cute trolls, golems and giants. They're made of wood, stone, ice and iron, and they break into a satisfying shower of chunks.

THE SHAPE OF YOUR LINE IS YOUR AIM
• Straight lines focus your volley; curves spread it wide.
• Hook your line to catch Shield Trolls from the side.
• Send axes through rune gates to turn one axe into three.
• Hit fire-oil barrels and watch the blasts chain across the battlefield.

ENEMIES WITH A TRICK
• Wood Trolls and Shield Trolls of the Pine Forest
• Splitter Golems that break in two, and Boulder Giants that come rolling
• Iron Brutes that shrug off ordinary axes
• Ice Wraiths that only thaw under fire
• Zig-zagging Rune Wisps that drop bonus coins
• The mighty Frost Giant: chop off its armor plates one by one to reach its glowing core

SIX AXES TO MASTER
Hatchet, Bearded Axe, Fire Axe, Thunder Axe, Returning Axe and Split Rune Axe. Each one changes how you play.

60 STAGES AND ENDLESS WINTER
• Three realms: the Pine Forest, the Stone Fjords and the Frost Peaks.
• Rush stages and boss fights along the way.
• Endless Winter: hold the wall against escalating waves and beat your best.

FORGE YOUR LEGEND
• Upgrade Max Axes, Axe Damage, Cooldown, Hearts and Throw Speed in the Forge.
• Unlock six heroes and eight blade finishes, from bronze to rune-carved.

Free to play. Portrait, one finger, perfect for quick sessions.

Axe throwing meets bullet time: a slow motion arcade game of Viking axes, troll waves and boss fights that you can play in a minute.

Recent changes:
New in 1.1: a smoother difficulty climb. Later stages ramp up properly and enemies march a little faster as you go deeper. Fixed a screen that could stay empty after an ad between stages. Plus small fixes to the rune hum, the finish camera, revives and the Frost Giant's armor pips.
