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 xerophi@gmail.com. All Shimeji contributions are welcome and appreciated.

This app is perfect for using preset and custom Shinji on your phone. There are no ads that bother you and the option to import your own animation frames is amazing, although, the app tends to cut off parts of the pet's animations while playing...but that is a very small issue for me. This app doesn't work well with older versions of android, as noticed by a friend. I use android 11 though. Overall, the best app for custom Shinji pets!!!

It's great and all but I have a problem :/ I bought the full version so I can import a lot of shimejis that I want to have. The payment was successful but when I was about to try to add more shimejis it just won't open the folder app thing... 😓 And when I restarted the app it just says that I'm using the free version???? I have proof of purchase sobs IDK what to doo why won't it work?? And there's a pop-up saying server connection is disconnected

It's a wonderful app with lots of potential, but whenever I try to import something, it closes the app. Then when I go back to the app instead of the Shinji I'm trying to get it's just a blank slot with what I named it. I open the blank slot, and it's the land crab one. I have emailed them though, so hopefully they can fix it. When/if it gets fixed I will change the rating to 5.
