Wounded

Wounded is a vertical parabolic throwing mobile game. Players stand at the bottom of the screen, hold and swipe up to aim, and release to throw a flying blade; after leaving the hand, the blade travels along an arc and gradually descends under gravity. A constantly drifting furnace ring hangs at the top of the screen, swinging left and right while also rising and falling. The higher the score, the wider the furnace ring swings and the faster it moves, leaving a narrower window to pass through. While waiting to throw, the blade adjusts its position slightly at the bottom on its own; while your finger is held down, a series of pre-aim markers appears to help judge the landing point. Only when the blade passes through the furnace ring during its descent does it score; flying off the screen or failing to enter the ring counts as one mistake. A round allows at most three mistakes, and after the third mistake the round ends and the high score is recorded. During a match, you can pause, continue, or restart at any time, and you can also return to the main menu to view the rules and records. It only takes one upward swipe to pick up; afterwards, you must predict the furnace ring's next position and choose the right force and direction to extend your combo.
