Stone Skimmer – A Skimming Adventure in Virtual Avatar

Stone skimming has always fascinated my inner child. In the past, I spent hours practicing and mastering the skimming technique on beaches and riverfronts. I remember the skimming challenges and bets with my friends. Needless to mention, I always struggled to win, but the game gave me unmatched pleasure and amusement. To continue my sincere passion and addiction towards the game, recently, I downloaded Stone Skimmer game for my iPad. I was surprised to see my favorite pastime in a virtual avatar.

The game was unveiled last month, and it has already enticed skimmers globally. The game is a skimming sensation with realistic features and captivating sound. It is developed for iPhone and iPad. Some of the notable features of the game are:

Exotic Sceneries

 

The game is played across different exotic sceneries across different tropical beaches. Every scene is vibrantly colored giving a realistic beach side experience to the user. Trees, sand and the water surface have colors close to reality. While skimming stones in different scenes, there are many targets like swimmers, boats, floating waves, birds, rowers, etc., which the player needs to hit to advance to next levels.

Beach Sounds

 

To complement captivating beach settings, each level has lovely beach sounds that further enhance the gameplay. There are sounds like chirping birds, waves, dolphins, children playing, water splashing, etc., creating a realistic feel to the virtual skimming adventure. In addition, phone features are also utilized to make it more real. At each contact, a splash is heard and the phone vibrates in the hand to add to the realism.   

Realistic Gameplay

 

The sound effects and beach settings will throw you back in your childhood memories. You will be amazed to experience waves lapping at your feet listening to beach sounds, the gentle breeze running through your hair and tempting targets floating in the water. After hitting different targets, unique sounds are heard like birds-squawk! Swimmers ouch! etc. Furthermore, as the game progresses, the gameplay intensifies and actions accelerate.

3D Effects

 

Perhaps the most important characteristic of the game that brings it close to reality. 3D effect results in immersive gameplay. With each hit, you can experience a coin fountain/ stars/ reward/ points popup creating a realistic effect. Also, when the stone is ‘powered up’ it glows and when not in power mode it stays normal. There is unique performance meter that keeps a track of your score. 

These are some of the amazing features that heighten the stone skimming experience virtually. In addition, you can also invite friends, share and compete for the skimming crown.  So, download and relive your childhood memories on your fingertips. The game is available for iPad and iPhone.
