About the Game

Skim. Survive. Keep moving.

In Skimmies, you're not just skimming a rock across a pond — you're sending a stone on a journey across dangerous rivers filled with obstacles, creatures, and unexpected challenges.

Maintain your momentum, avoid hazards, and use unique stone abilities to overcome whatever each river throws at you. Navigate unpredictable waters, dodge dangerous creatures, and keep your stone moving as you race toward the finish line.

Two ways to play:

  • World Tour — Journey across the river through stages that bring new challenges, obstacles, and encounters at every turn.

  • Endless Mode — Test your limits. How far can you go?

Grow your run:

Unlock new stones, discover powerful runes, and find new ways to push further with every skim.

The river is unpredictable. Every skim is a new adventure.

  • Lots of stones to unlock
