How to play Cave Skim

1. The bird flies right on its own. It hovers until your first press.
2. Hold the screen, mouse button or Space to rise, and let go to drop.
3. Touching the rock ends the run. Reach the exit at 100% to clear it.
4. You start on difficulty 3 of 10. Clear a difficulty to unlock the next: the cave gets a little tighter and the bird flies a little faster. Pick any unlocked difficulty with the arrows on the start card.

Tips

• Short taps make small corrections. Long holds make big climbs that are hard to stop.
• Start turning before a bend, not when you reach it.
• Flying close to the walls without touching them counts as a skim, which is the score.
• Everyone gets the same cave all day, and a new one at midnight UTC. “Practice a new layout” deals a fresh one any time, off the leaderboard.
