About Sky Dart
Sky Dart is a precision aiming game set against an open sky backdrop where circular dart targets float at varying distances and heights. You aim and throw a dart at each target, and the physics calculate where it lands based on your aim angle, throwing power, and the wind conditions shown at the start of each round. Perfect bullseye throws score the maximum points; outer ring hits score less, and misses score nothing.
The wind mechanic is the distinguishing feature that separates Sky Dart from simpler dart games. A wind indicator shows both direction and strength. A strong crosswind pushes your dart sideways during flight, and you must compensate by aiming off-center in the opposite direction of the wind. The compensation amount depends on target distance — a slight wind barely affects a close target but significantly shifts a distant one.
Targets appear at randomized distances and heights each round. Short-distance targets (with large apparent size) are straightforward but score fewer points. Long-distance targets (appearing small) score more but require finer aim calibration and larger wind compensation. A round score is the sum of all throws, so a consistent strategy of hitting mid-ring on difficult targets often outscores chasing bullseyes on easy ones.
Power control adds another layer to longer throws. Pulling back further before releasing increases throwing power, which reduces travel time and thus reduces the total wind drift during flight. At very long distances, maximum power throws drift less than gentle lob throws even against the same wind — a physics detail that rewards understanding the flight mechanics rather than just aiming technique.
Key Features
- Wind mechanic with direction and strength indicators requiring aim compensation
- Variable target distances: closer targets score less, distant targets score more
- Power control — throw strength affects travel time and total wind drift
- Bullseye rings: center score maximum, outer rings score proportionally less
- Randomized target positions each round ensuring no two rounds are identical
- Multi-round scoring: cumulative points across all throws in a session

How to Play
- 1Check the wind indicator before each throw. Note the direction (shown by arrow) and strength (shown by bar length).
- 2Aim your dart at the target. If wind is present, aim offset from center — aim right if wind blows left, aim left if wind blows right.
- 3Adjust offset based on target distance. Distant targets need more wind compensation than close ones.
- 4For long-distance targets, pull back to maximum power before releasing. The faster dart speed reduces total wind drift.
- 5After each throw, observe where your dart landed relative to where you aimed. Use that information to refine your wind compensation estimate for the next throw.
Tips & Tricks
- Wind compensation is not linear — at moderate wind, you need roughly 1 ring-width of aim offset per unit of wind for each unit of distance. Build a feel for this ratio over several rounds.
- Don't always aim for the bullseye on far targets. A consistent outer ring on 80% of throws beats missing on bullseye attempts 40% of the time.
- When wind changes between targets, recheck the indicator explicitly rather than assuming the previous wind applies. Significant changes are common.

FAQ
The exact compensation needed depends on wind strength × target distance × flight time. There is no formula displayed in-game — experienced players develop an intuitive calibration through practice.
For long-distance targets, maximum power is almost always beneficial because the faster flight time reduces drift. For very close targets, excess power can overshoot if you haven't accounted for the minimal drop at close range.
Standard builds of Sky Dart use a single dart type. Some versions offer alternate darts with different flight physics as unlockable cosmetics, but these are purely visual.
