The goal

Skip a rock across the water. Every touch on the surface is a "skip" — a perfect throw will skip 12+ times before sinking. Score is your total skips with bonuses stacked on top.

Two meters, one rock

Each throw has two meters you lock in sequence. Press SPACE to start the first meter spinning; press again to lock it; then repeat for the second. On the second lock, your character throws.

What makes a rock skip

• Low pitch (flat throw) is everything. Even slight steep angles send the rock diving.
• High spin gives the rock gyroscopic stability — low spin rocks tumble and usually plop on first contact.
• High power keeps the rock moving fast enough between bounces. Underpowered rocks stall after 1-2 skips.
• The tracer line shows the rock's actual flight path — watch it after the throw to see where you went wrong or right.

Scoring

• 100 per skip (base)
• +200 per throw that hits 8+ skips (GREAT)
• +500 per throw that hits 10+ skips (EPIC)

Every three rocks, a set bonus applies (highest tier wins):

• +2000 if all 3 skip at least 5× (PERFECT GAME)
• +500 if all 3 skip at least 3×
• +300 if exactly 2 of 3 skip 5+×

Tips & tricks

• Take your time. The meters stay spinning until you press SPACE — nothing runs out. Find a rhythm.
• Watch the line. The horizontal line on the helix is your pitch target; the vertical crosses the middle when yaw is centered. You're aiming to snap the dot and the center intersection at the same moment.
• Nail pitch first. A flat throw with even weak power can still skip 4-5 times. A steep throw with max power will plop in.
• Then chase spin. High spin is what lets a rock hit 10+; lock the sliding knob right on the red center tick when it's momentarily still.
• Three-in-a-row. The game bonuses reward consistency more than one big throw. Three 5-skip rocks beats one 10-skipper and two duds.
