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!
