What players say

Players describe Sink or Skim as a challenging top-down platformer where you skip a rock across water using momentum and wall jumps. The difficulty is the standout feature, with some saying the cutesy art contradicts the hard gameplay. Reviews note the game is short, about three worlds long, and that mastering movement is the real puzzle.
