How to play Skim
Flick up to throw the stone, then steer it and tap each time it touches the water.
In Skim: Stone Skipping Game you flick a stone across a lake and see how far one throw can go.
The goal
Keep the stone skipping. Bounces and Perfects earn coins, and the lakes loop into laps that get harder and pay more coins. Your stars are the stones you have left.
Controls
To throw, pull down from low on either side of the screen. A marker sweeps the bar at the top. Flick up when the marker is on the gold, and a Perfect throw plays in slow motion.
Keep your thumb down to steer, in the air and on the water. Each time the stone touches down, a ring closes around it. Tap on gold for a Perfect skip, white for Good, gray for Sloppy. Miss the tap and the stone sinks.
Tips
- The gold gets smaller and the marker gets faster as you go.
- Steer around rocks and logs. Hit a ramp for a super skip, or fly through the fire hoop for a fire boost.
- Lily pads hold four power ups: Feather, Magnet, Double, and Extra Stone.
- On the first lap, levels 1 to 3 show a guide with a ghost thumb.
- Make 12 skips in one throw to earn the Golden Skipper.
Where to get it
Skim is on Google Play for Android phones. The iPhone version is coming soon. The Skim page has video of each step. If a throw isn't working the way this says, the support page tells you how to get help.
