Bitstrips, a brilliant game where you design cartoon versions of you and your friends to create hilarious comics, is now the top free app on iTunes in the US and other countries around the world.

In a nutshell, Bitstrips lets you “share instant comic messages starring you and your friends,” according to its creators.

The iOS app, available as a free download on the iTunes App Store, lets you design cartoon versions of you and your your friends and put yourselves in the craziest circumstances. Such as gossiping, making a prank, etc.

According to its creators, you can also use the app to “show how you’re feeling with cartoon status updates.” There are over a thousand customizable templates to choose from, with new ones added on a daily basis.

“Join over 20 million people around the world using Bitstrips as a more fun and visual way to communicate with friends,” says the development team.

The service is currently experiencing server-side issues because of its huge popularity, but the developers assure everyone that they’re working around the clock to restore functionality as soon as possible.
