Sink or Skim is a challenging, well-thought out idea. It's a whole new perspective (literally) on platformers and puzzle games alike, though expect to be having a harder time with the mechanics than the puzzles. It took time for me to master all the mechanics: wall-running, wall-jumping, vaulting, spinning, and keeping momentum to not slow down and sink like the rock I am. Don't let the adorable faces and cutesy dialogue fool you, this game is hard as ♥♥♥♥. The 3 worlds go by pretty fast if you get the hang of it but some challenges really required thought and routing before you make that initial leap off of land. The graphics and pace progress with quality as you go through the game, with a few moments of the third world taking me by surprise as beautiful, almost Journey-esque. It's easy to tell that a lot of care went into this game's visuals and music, as instruments fade in and out dynamically with your actions and location in the world. Sink or Skim is absolutely worth its $5 price tag and stands as a message that new ideas are still present in 2018, and not every indie game from a passionate, talented novice developer has to be a deep, pretentious allegory or political statement. It's fluid, pretty, and held my attention for the entire playthrough.

Okay, I've just reached world 2 and I think I've seen enough to give an honest review of this game. Sink or Skim is a puzzle platformer with a difference. You platform across water and you need to use momentum and the water's currents and stone walls to skip your rock across from island to island. Note the 'difficult' tag on this game. Multiply that by the power of a thousand suns and you have a general idea of how monumentally difficult this game is. Let's break down the basics of gameplay: 1 - Rock-skipping: This involves rhythmic pressing of a button. I first attempted this game on keyboard and mouse. If you would like to break your mouse, feel free to use this method. However, swap over to controller and the process is marginally easier. Unfortunately it's difficult to tell if your rhythmic pressing is actually working or not. There's no particular beat to the pressing. Mash the button as hard as you like and your little stone will skip at a slowish pace. Slow down your pressing and it'll still move at that same pace. The only difference you'll notice is the tendonitis you'll develop in your thumb. 2 - Bouncing and Momentum: You've reached your first wall bounce. Note the way your rock is turning. You'll have a 50-50 chance of it not going the way you expect. Wall mazes/puzzles will require you to quickly change the direction of your stone skip. Oftentimes those direction changes will catch you off-guard. Why is your stone doing this? Why fly off every which way? Well, you've found the "puzzle" to the game. Guess the direction your stone will skip! You'll have countless hours of fun screaming at the monitor as your little rock skips off into oblivion. Enjoy a seemingly endless number of restarts as you try to find out the exact passage your little stone will like to take. 3 - Spinning: Have you tried spinning? It's a neat trick. With it you can spin around obstacles and control your movement for a limited time. But where's the fun in that? Nope, this is a once move only. Try and use it twice in a single run and you'll sink straight to the bottom. Also, if you play around with the controls at the start you'll notice you can do the spinning move pretty early. But let's keep that to ourselves and make you suff... I mean, ENJOY the first world without the knowledge of spinning! Now that you know the basics, the goal of the game is to collect gold pieces. I have no idea what for but it's important. There is a basic, primal kind of satisfaction gained from playing this game. You'll feel a glorious sense of victory as you manage to travel from one island to another; the same kind of satisfaction, I imagine, a barbarian feels from slaughtering his enemies. Roar in accomplishment as you mightily skip. I'm going to reccomend this game because it's pretty, it sounds nice and someone put in a great deal of effort to make this. They were even kind enough to help me figure out how to play the game. They are a stand up guy. And, also, there are people out there that like this kind of thing. People who's favourite game is Marble Madness or Getting Over It. If you love those kinds of games, then boy howdy, is Sink or Skim the perfect game for you.
