Sink or Skim

About

Sink or Skim is a top-down platformer where you control a stone leaping between islands across a vast lake. Each jump requires timing and momentum to maintain speed. Hitting walls or water at the wrong angle slows you down. Letting your velocity drop means plunging beneath the surface and restarting. The challenge lies in balancing risk and precision as you navigate increasingly complex paths. The game’s minimalist design focuses on tight physics and responsive controls. Players appreciate its straightforward yet demanding gameplay, though its short length and limited variety may leave some wanting more. With a 72% on Metacritic, it appeals to fans of skill-based platformers looking for a quick but satisfying challenge. Released in 2018, it remains a niche pick for those who enjoy physics-driven puzzles.
