Core Gameplay:

In Sidewards, you collect stones and then skip them to earn points and complete challenges. You can find stones by exploring areas near water - some stones can only be found in specific locations, so you'll need to explore to find them all! Once you've got a stone, you're ready to throw! Pick your spot, adjust your aim, then dial in the launch force, angle, and spin. Release your stone and watch it skip... or not! Sidewards uses realistic stone-skipping physics, so you'll need to get creative to make some throws work.
