Hit & Knock Down is a casual arcade-style shooting/throwing game where you aim to hit targets using various balls. When you successfully hit a target, it will either be knocked down or explode. The goal is to clear each stage by obtaining the required score (or meeting stage objectives) and then move on to the next challenge.

Drag or swipe on the screen to aim the ball toward a target. (Typical of these types of games — though the store page doesn’t detail exact controls, it says “simple control.”) Release your touch (or tap, depending on control scheme) to throw the ball toward the designated target. If your throw strikes the target (a can, dish, fruit, or object), it will either fall or explode. You earn points for successful hits.

• Stay mobile — standing still makes you an easy target.
• Learn attack patterns of enemies before engaging.
• Use cover and dodge mechanics to avoid damage.
• Prioritize upgrading your weapon or abilities early.
• Keep an eye on your health and resources at all times.
