Stitch game on Apple Arcade

Stitch is now on Apple Arcade.

Apple Arcade added Stitch, a new sewing-style puzzle game, to its catalog on Friday. Players must complete colorful embroidery patterns by filling a number grid. While you don't have to worry about tangled threads and sticking your finger with the needle, Stitch presents a challenge all its own. 

The numbered patterns give the game a sudoku feel. The game increases in difficulty as you progress -- instead of just filling two grid blocks, you'll need to plan for multiple blocks without leaving any gaps. 

Stitch was created by Lykke Studios, the creators of meditative watercolor puzzle game Tint and light-bending game Lumen.
