Flick a stone across the lake, steer it past logs and rocks, and tap each time it touches the water.
Updated October 10, 2026. Skim is now out on Google Play, and the iPhone version is coming soon to the App Store.
September 19, 2026. Skim is a stone skipping game for phones. Players flick a stone across a lake, steer it past logs and rocks, and tap each time it touches the water to keep it skipping.
A one thumb throw
A throw starts with a pull down from low on either side of the screen. A marker sweeps a bar at the top, and a flick up on the gold sends the stone out. A Perfect throw plays in slow motion, and the gold gets smaller and the marker faster as the game goes on.
Timed skips
Each time the stone touches down, a ring closes around it. Tapping on gold is a Perfect skip, white is Good, gray is Sloppy, and a missed tap sinks the stone.
Obstacles and power ups
Rocks and logs need steering around. Ramps launch a super skip, and the fire hoop gives a fire boost. Lily pads hold power ups: Feather, Magnet, Double and Extra Stone. Arcs of coins and a bell buoy sit along the way.
Skippers and laps
The game starts with a river stone, and coins unlock nine more skippers, including Slate, a Clam Shell, a Lost Flip Flop, an Old 45, Someone's Phone and The Throne. The lakes loop into laps that get harder and pay more coins.
Availability
Skim is on Google Play for Android phones with Android 8 or later, and is rated Everyone. It needs no account, and keeps progress on the phone. The iPhone version is coming soon to the App Store and will be added to this post when it is approved.

Coming soon to the App Store for iPhone.
