Tap Sprout vs Skip the Stone

Tap to hop. That's it — and that's everything. Tap Sprout is a one-thumb arcade climber about a tiny critter scaling an endless beanstalk. Each tap hops you to the next branch. Sounds easy… until branches start cracking under your feet, bees patrol your landing spots, hawks sweep across the sky, and the flood rises from below. One mistimed tap and down you go — but you'll be climbing again two seconds later. HOW TO PLAY • Tap to hop to the next branch • Time your hops past patrolling bees — one touch is fatal • Duck under hawks sweeping across the vine • Cracking branches snap moments after you land, so keep moving • The flood never stops rising — hesitate and you're swimming • Grab coins on the way up (gold ones are worth 5!) CLIMB THROUGH THE SKY Start in the garden, rise past the treetops, break through the clouds, and climb all the way to the stars. The higher you go, the faster and meaner it gets. Even 20m is a badge of honor. 30 CRITTERS, EACH WITH ITS OWN ABILITY Spend your coins on a roster of hand-drawn friends — a ladybug, a bumblebee, a snail, a frog, a fox, a tiny dragon, and more. Ten more skins unlock automatically as your best height climbs, every 50m, all the way to a dazzling rainbow Unicorn at 500m. Every critter has a real passive ability — Lucky Coins, Soft Landing, Flood Resistance, Glide, Guardian Shield, even Flight — tap any critter to see what it does. KEEP COMING BACK • Daily missions with coin rewards • A daily gift box • Game Center leaderboards — race your friends to the top • Your best height is always waiting to be beaten • A Sprout Coins shop if you want to top up your stash QUICK BY DESIGN • Runs last seconds — perfect for a quick break • No account, works offline, free to play • Music, sound effects, and optional rewarded ads to double your coins Every critter and every vine in Tap Sprout is an original creation. Now hop to it.

Find a quiet spot, pick a flat stone, and skip it across the water. SWIPE TO THROW Flick across the screen: faster goes further, and a low, flat throw skips best, just like the real thing. TAP ON THE TOUCHDOWN Tap just as the stone kisses the water for a perfect skip. String them together into a streak and watch it fly. A LITTLE HELP ALONG THE WAY Bounce off lily pads, sleepy turtles, drifting logs and friendly seals. Call a breeze to push it along, or let a gull carry it for a while. ACROSS AND BEYOND Skip all the way across and your stone keeps going, tumbling over the land and knocking things over, from garden gnomes and hay bales to tents and treasure chests, then through the fence and on. Bounce off trampolines, steer clear of the mud, and when it stops, kick it on: stop the power meter in the green. ALL THE WAY TO SPACE The long game: past a strong arm come the Sling Shot, the Stone Cannon and the Stone Rocket. Aim, time the launch, and follow your stone up past kites, balloons and the jet stream, all the way to space. EARN RIPPLES, SKIP FURTHER Every skip earns ripples. Spend them on new stones (from a humble River Pebble to the Cursed Doubloon), mod them, strengthen your arm, and reach the far bank. SIXTEEN SPOTS TO DISCOVER Reach each far bank to open the next spot: Meadow Creek's mill pond, the willows of Willow River, snow-capped Pinewood Lake, the open sea at Saltwind Coast, and, for the brave, the stormy Devil's Triangle. All in hand-crafted pixel art. REAL TIME OF DAY The light follows your clock, or pick dawn, day, dusk or night: soft sunrises, golden sunsets, and starry nights with fireflies and crickets. The weather changes through the day, from full sun and passing clouds to gentle rain, morning fog and snow at the lake.
