Get the green piece onto the target.
Pieces don't step — they slide. Send one in a direction and it keeps going until something stops it: the edge of the board, a wall, or another piece. You choose the direction, never the distance.
The target almost never sits against a wall, so the green piece has nothing to stop it there. Park a grey piece in the right spot first and it becomes the wall you needed. Most of the puzzle is deciding which blocker to move, and when.
Tap a piece to select it, then use the arrows — or swipe anywhere on the board. On a keyboard, arrow keys move and Tab switches piece.
Every puzzle shows par: the fewest moves that can possibly solve it, worked out exactly rather than estimated. Reaching the target wins. Reaching it in par is the real game.
Undo is free and unlimited, so there is no cost to exploring.
A new board arrives at midnight, wherever you are.
Seedling and Tessera are at walter.com.au, along with a storytelling card game to play with other people.
Skitter has no accounts, no tracking, and no server-side storage. The server hands your browser the page and takes nothing back.
Today's moves and your run of solves are saved on this device only, and never sent anywhere. The flip side is worth knowing: clearing site data ends your streak, and your stats won't follow you to another browser or phone. There is no account to restore them from.
No analytics, no advertising, no third-party scripts, no cookies. This page loads nothing from any other domain, and the server keeps no record of who played or how they did — it serves files and answers a health check, and has no database.
The site runs on Fly.io in Sydney. As with any website, their servers see the IP addresses that connect.
Skitter is run by the operator of walter.com.au, in Australia. For anything about your data, or to exercise the rights below, email admin@walter.com.au.
One piece of personal data reaches us, and only one: your IP address, which any website necessarily sees in order to send you a page. The legal basis is our legitimate interest in serving the site and keeping it up — Article 6(1)(f). Your moves and your streak are not part of it: they never leave your browser, so there is nothing on our side to look up.
Saving your progress on your device needs no consent banner. It is strictly necessary for the game you asked to play, which is the exemption the ePrivacy rules give — and that is only true because nothing else rides along with it. No analytics, no advertising, no cookies.
Where it goes. Fly.io is a US company and this site runs on its servers in Sydney, so your IP address is handled outside the EEA. Fly.io participates in the EU, UK and Swiss Data Privacy Frameworks, and its data processing agreement incorporates the European Commission's standard contractual clauses. Fly.io keeps its own connection logs to its own schedule. We keep none — there is no database to keep them in.
Your rights. You can ask for access to your personal data, or for it to be corrected, erased or restricted, and you can object to it being processed. Your browser gives you most of that directly: clearing this site's data erases every record of your play, because no copy exists anywhere else. Email admin@walter.com.au for the rest. If you think we have got this wrong, you can complain to your national data protection authority — in the UK, the Information Commissioner's Office.
