Order of the Sinking Star South: Skipping Stones to Lonely Homes

The Sailor's world: kick a stone and it skips across the water until something stops it, then sinks into a tile you can walk on. Lily pads drift with splashes and currents. South 1 teaches all of it over 14 linked puzzles; South 2 and South 4 add currents, a second Sailor and a cage level.
