+1 Stone Skipping Cactus Desert: Zone Position & Unlock Status

Quick answer

No unlock threshold for Cactus Desert has been observed in recorded gameplay yet — as of footage dated 2026-09-26, its requirement is recorded as Unknown. What is established is its position: Cactus Desert is the second zone in the progression chain, immediately after the Palm Beach spawn zone.

• Observed zone order: Palm Beach → Cactus Desert → Autumn Woods → Mushroom Marsh → Frost Lake.
• Zone names were read directly from in-world signage in two separate gameplay sessions recorded on 2026-09-26 — same order both times.
• Autumn Woods is the next zone after Cactus Desert.

Cactus Desert's unlock threshold: what's actually known

Throws in +1 Stone Skipping are measured in meters — recorded throws ran from 212 m up to 1,776 m — but the distance or Skill mark that flips each zone hasn't been shown in recorded gameplay. The threshold table therefore keeps those entries blank on purpose: unverified distances stay blank until real footage shows each zone transition. Cactus Desert is one of the zones still waiting, so the only confirmed fact about its unlock is that it comes after the Palm Beach spawn zone. Even Frost Lake's ~35,000 Skill entry is an approximate figure read from creator captions, not a play-verified number — don't read any of these values across to Cactus Desert. Because the chain is documented from in-game footage rather than update notes, recheck the threshold and reward values after world updates.

How reaching farther zones changes your rewards

The reward change tied to zone progression runs through Wins. The official game description states it directly: "Reach farther zones to earn more Wins." Wins are the golden-trophy currency, and they fund the core loop — pets, boosts, and progress toward the next rebirth — so pushing your farthest zone is the main income upgrade in the game.

No Win payout specific to Cactus Desert has been observed. For scale, one recorded 1,404 m throw paid +200 Wins, but that came from a mid-run throw, not a zone transition. Treat reaching Cactus Desert as the next step up the Win-income ladder rather than a zone with its own confirmed reward value.

What recorded gameplay shows beyond the zone chain

A noob-to-pro gameplay video shows a second progression layer above the zone chain. The creator counts four worlds and reads a gate as "Trade and throw with 100 million power to unlock the world," concluding while still in world one that they would need 100 million Skill to teleport to the next world. After hitting 100 million Skill, they teleport to world two — having already said they'd "unlocked every stone in this world." The same footage shows throws passing Cactus Desert, then Autumn Woods, then Mushroom Marsh during world-one runs.

Keep that number separate from Cactus Desert's own unlock: the 100,000,000 Skill figure is the world-teleport gate from that creator's run, not a Cactus Desert requirement, and how the five-zone chain maps onto the four worlds isn't documented. The concrete takeaway for this zone stands on its own — Cactus Desert is zone 2 of the observed chain, its threshold is still unobserved, and reaching it (and everything past it) pays more Wins under the general rule.
