Star Skip

Tap in time with the pond ripples to skim a moonlit stone further across the surface, threading moons to bank combos.

Core mechanic

Tap rhythmic ripples to flick the stone across the water; each tap timed to the expanding ripple flicks it further and threads moons for combo points; mistimed taps splash and shorten the run.

Controls

One-thumb tap in time with pond ripple cadence to skim the stone further.

Theme

Dreamy moonlit pond over a starfield horizon.

Why now

Lunar and cosmic aesthetics plus the tactile 'plip' ASMR feel are tailored to shorts and reels.
