*** Featured in the App Store Best of 2016 *** StickyMonster is a communal, turn-based drawing game for iMessage. Each player secretly draws parts of an imagined creature, one turn at a time, until all four sections are complete: the hat, face, torso, and legs+feet. The player gets to see what the other player has drawn only after the whole monster is completed. The newly created StickyMonster is then revealed to both players, and turned into an iMessage Sticker to laugh at and share with friends! In the home screen app, you can see all the wacky stickers you and your friends have made, AND view the funniest/strangest StickyMonsters from around the world in the Gallery tab. • Draw crazy looking creatures with your friends • Get creative with color • Be rewarded with your very own sticker…that YOU made! • Place your stickers in your conversations and laugh • Share it to all your favorite social networks • Submit to the Gallery and possibly be promoted to the Gallery tab in the app *** Over 150,000 StickyMonsters made and shared!
