About

Skipstone

Read full description

Pick a stone. Drag back. Let it fly. Skipstone is a one-thumb arcade game about the simple pleasure of skipping a rock across still water. Flat, fast throws skip the most โ€” a steep one sinks. Tap as the ring closes on each splash to land a Perfect and keep your speed. String them together and the stone just keeps going. CROSS THE FAR SHORE Eight lakes, each with its own water, weather and trouble. Gust zones shove the stone off line. Logs drift where you meant to land. Lily pads launch you, ducks pay out, and sharks are exactly as welcome as they sound. Reach the far shore and the next lake opens. UPGRADE YOUR THROW Twelve upgrades across the thrower, the stone and the lake itself โ€” arm strength, spin, polish, timing, splash saves and more. Every lake you cross raises the ceiling on all of them. COLLECT STONES AND GEAR Unlock stones that each handle differently, set gems into their sockets, and earn skins that bring a move of their own: dive for a flatter landing, rewind a missed skip, float a little further before the next splash. PLAY A SEASON A thirty-tier Season Trail that fills as you throw, with a free track and a premium one. Daily challenges to chase, and a boost just for showing up. No account. No timers. No waiting to play. Just you, the water, and one more throw.

Both are free to download. Storyfall sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Skipstone sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
