If you’ve spent your childhood at the countryside or on the beach, you’d be familiar with stone skimming. Stone skimming is the art of throwing stones in the water, where it skims the surface of the water and bounces on the surface a couple of times before finally sinking into its depths. It was a popular pastime, and there were people who aced at it. Back in my place, there was this person who could make the stone skim around 10 times. And the world record for that was a whopping 34 times!

So, it was really thrilling to know that there’s a mobile game called stone skimmer that lets you go skimming anytime and anywhere! That’s right!! For skimming fans like me, this is the best game to have. When I found out that App111interactive was coming up with a mobilegame for skimmers, I was excited and here’s all the inside information to - Stone Skimmer.

The concept: The creator Shane Monaghan came up with this concept as he too shared an interest in the art of skimming and wanted to share the same delight and experience of playing the game onto the mobile platform. So his team came up with this exciting game which will be available on App Stores.

The Game:  The game is set on a beach with the waves lapping up on the sand, excellent sound score with the birds chirping, the wind blowing and the children playing. The skimmer gets to choose between 6 stone characters as he/she scales up the various levels of the game.

The game screen begins with a 3D view of the horizon, with the control buttons, skim counter, coins etc on the display. The user has to drag back the stone with the finger and then let it go to catapult the stone at the right angle. The angle of the trajectory can be determined by tilting the phone at the right angle. Once the stone has been aimed right, and the angle perfect, the stone will skim the water.

The user has to continually swipe the stone to keep the stone going. Every time the stone comes in contact with water, the phone will vibrate and give a splashing sound to make it realistic. As the stone loses its power, the vibrations would become more frequents as it would come in contact with the water much faster.  The twist to the game is that the player would have to hit as many targets as possible before their stone stops skimming. Attractive sound scores and graphics for targets like birds, wooden planks, boats, swimmers, dolphins, fish etc. make the game truly enjoyable. 

The Skill:  The game would require skills similar to actual stone skimming or beach skimming. The player should be able to tilt the phone in the right angle at the right moment and gear up the stone with all the power possible to get it to skim for long distances. At the same time, he/she should also be able swipe the stone repeatedly to keep it charged, and direct it at as many targets as possible.
