 FEATURES
Destination: Ocean's Main Screen
Make a diver swim across the screen while dolphins dive as you direct the action of your on-screen movies: just drag stickers to record their motion! Do you want the shark to swim inside or outside the sunken ship? You decide!
Who inhabits your ocean? Choose ratfish, leopard sharks, coral, and divers from hundreds of stickers. Striped surfperch and other stickers automatically grow or shrink as you move them close to you or far away.
