IPhone app was dear to the "skip" shoe! Friends gathered in the neighborhood park, paddling with a momentum swing, "Heave-ho!" Skip the shoes in unison with everyone I flew or how much? Please try imagine the shoes while playing soar into the sky ◆ ◆ ◆ How to Play◆ ◆ ◆ 1)Earnestly tapping the left side of the screen, with the momentum to swing. 2)Once with a momentum swing, skip the shoes by tapping the right side of the screen aiming at better accuracy. 3)I m fly or what shoes were released into the air ? Wait to enjoy the results. That's it :-) And can build up momentum, getting your shoes at the best accuracy is the point of the game. I try playing for tips on getting well!
