Skipping Stones to Lonely Homes

Checked 14 October 2026. The south world. The original PuzzleScript game is from 2015. The 3D game keeps the river idea.

What I checked

Community routes from joric/ootss, commit 86e9aa79c31c57a14bda600d7ba93e4d18bce403, checked 14 October 2026. These sequences have not been replay-tested by this guide. Release_v1 is an upstream map-layer label, not a verified game build number. Patches can change checkpoints or invalidate older moves.

What the south world asks

Official copy describes a marooned sailor who plans a route, redirects rivers, throws large skipping stones, and rides lily pads. The PlayStation Blog matches that and adds that this world was not in the demo.

The original Skipping Stones to Lonely Homes is dated August 2015 on Alan Hazelden's site, with audio by Ali Tocher. That page is the source game, not a walkthrough of the 2026 boards.

How many boards are in the open set

The community skipping_stones group contains four marker records: skipping_stones, skipping_shores_v3, skipping_pals and time_tutorial. skipping_in_3d adds 28 separate records. Neither group has a nonempty move sequence here. Four markers must not be mistaken for the south world's complete puzzle count.

For a spoiler-light check, trace the stone's landing tile and the lily pad's destination before changing a river. This is a planning method based on the official mechanics, not a solution to every board. The 12 October developer patch changes checkpoints and fixes exploits in this family, which makes build-specific replay especially important.

Community puzzle routes and locations

32 locations in this index. The full snapshot contains 920 locations and 106 matching community routes, not a complete solution for every game puzzle.

Data: joric/ootss,Unlicense, captured 14 October 2026 at commit 86e9aa79c31c. Names are community/internal identifiers, not confirmed display names. These routes have not been replay-tested by this site on a named game build.

32 locations

U/D/L/R mean up/down/left/right; a number repeats the preceding move (R2 = right twice). X/C/V are action-key symbols in the community recorder, not a verified console binding chart. Match the exact board and starting state before following a route.
