The difficulty ramps up gradually, so you'll always feel like you're improving. Master the rhythm of your jumps, and you'll find a satisfying sense of flow that keeps you coming back for just one more attempt.

What is Skill Test: In the Sky

Skill Test: In the Sky is a browser-based arcade game that puts your timing and precision under the microscope. Navigate a series of aerial platforms, and see how far your focus can take you.

How to Play

Use your mouse or keyboard to move your character and jump between platforms, timing each leap to avoid falling. Progress through levels by reaching the end zone on each floating course.

Tips for Playing

Take a breath before each jump; rushing almost always leads to a fall.
Watch the platform edges—landing in the center gives you more room to correct.
Anticipate the next platform's position before you leave the current one.
Use short, controlled hops when platforms are close together.
If you miss, don't get frustrated—learn the layout and try again with a better plan.
