Windies vs Skipstone

Somewhere in the pile there is one needle. Everything else is not. Windies is a game of looking. Pan and zoom across a dense haystack, find the needle, tap it. The clock counts up, and every wrong tap adds five seconds. That is the whole game — and it gets harder in a way most games do not. The difficulty is never more straw. It is decoys. Nails, pins, wire, splinters, staples, and eventually broken needles that share the needle's colour, its thickness, and its shape — everything but the eye. By the later levels the eye is the only thing you are looking for. A hundred levels, ten worlds, and a pile that will not hold still. WHAT IS IN IT • 100 levels across ten worlds, from a lit barn to a pile you can only see by lantern light • Decoys that grow steadily more like the needle, so your eye has to grow with them • Storms that rock the pile, haze that flattens it, and levels with two needles to find • Three stars a level, timed against a par • A leaderboard of fastest finishes, no account needed • A short how-to-play with real boards, not pictures HINTS One hint a level is free. It narrows the search and costs time on the clock. Unlimited hints is a single purchase — it lifts the limit and changes nothing else. A bought hint costs exactly what a free one does, so the leaderboard stays honest. QUIET BY DESIGN No accounts, no sign in, no ads. Your progress lives on your phone. The only thing that ever leaves it is a leaderboard time, and only if you choose to post one. Sound, haptics, reduced motion, a left-handed layout, and a colour-blind-safe mode are all in Settings. It is a game about patience and a good eye. Take your time. The needle is there. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

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 — 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 — 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.
