Not all conversations are worth sharing, but when you find yourself on the end of one that is, just snap screenshots of it. Stitch It! will search through your library for all of your screenshots and import them. You can then crop each screenshot to fit seamlessly together as one conversation. When cropping, Stitch It! overlays the previous screenshot, making it remarkably easy to keep things aligned and not accidentally cut out any important parts. Once everything is stitched together, you can go back through your conversation and black out any parts you want redacted. Then share your conversation via email, Twitter, or Messages.

The arrows will automatically move in whichever direction they are pointing, so all you have to do is slide them side to side.

The object of the game is to drag and drop goo balls into place in order to reach the pipe.

The game includes four different chapters, different goo ball species to discover, and tons of charm.
