What is a Shimeji?

Shimeji was originally a desktop buddy for computers. Artists would produce and distribute full image sets and plug them into the program, and the character would be off, spreading chaos and mayhem, intercepting clicks, and overall being adorable.

Now you can do the same for Android!

If you have a Shimeji image set to contribute and would like to add it to this app, please email the developer at [email protected]. All Shimeji contributions are welcome and appreciated.

I really like this app! I love how customizable it is and how easy it is too add your own little guys to it, I do wish there were a couple more default options but that's not entirely a complaint because of how easy the customization is, what I do have to complain about is how a majority of the time the wall climbs and the ceiling climbs do nothing at all, they mostly just stand there doing nothing and only rarely do they even move, only to jump off and move a whole bunch on the ground.

I like this app because all you have to do is put the character you want in a green screen in different poses and moves and then you go to ibis paint and edit the background how it's supposed to be (You can search in Google how to do it) and then you put the pictures in and then your all set! I love this app I rate it 1 5/5

It's great! I have heard from the others it's very fun to use and importing our ocs in this app! But the problem is. When ever I tried to import a file using the From The Scratch!, it keep stopping and then exits, not letting me import the file, if you ever notice this, please fixs this! I assume this as a bug
