Get Shimeji App
DownloadBringing the Fun to Your Mobile Screen
The charming world of Shimeji is no longer confined to the desktop! Android users can now join in the fun and have adorable, animated companions crawling, climbing, and playing across their mobile screens. The official version, typically titled Shimeji: Screen Buddies (or similar), seamlessly integrates these tiny virtual pets with your phone's interface, allowing them to interact with your apps and wallpaper.
Simple Steps to Get Your Digital Pet
Downloading your first Shimeji companion is straightforward. You should search for the app directly on the official Google Play Store. This ensures you get a safe and updated version. Once installed, the app will typically ask for a crucial permission: "Draw over other apps." This is essential, as it allows your little characters to appear on top of everything else you're doing, from texting to browsing. Granting this permission is the key to unlocking the full, whimsical experience.
Android-Exclusive Features and Customization
The mobile version of Shimeji is optimized to be both entertaining and user-friendly, offering several unique features for phone users.
Battery-Friendly Fun and Ghost Mode
The Android app is designed to be relatively battery-friendly, so you don't have to worry about your companions draining your charge completely. A standout feature is the Ghost Mode setting. If you need to concentrate on a full-screen game or are busy typing, you can toggle this mode on. Your mascots remain visible but temporarily ignore touch input, ensuring they never accidentally get in the way of your productivity.
With hundreds of character packs available—from popular anime figures to meme icons—you can customize your screen's tiny population entirely. Start your mobile collection today! 🎉
