Shimeji-ee

Shimenji-ee, also known as Shimenji English Enhanced, is a fun software program that enables users to add one or several silly characters to their screen that play around  and wander.

The interface of the program is minimal and highly intuitive, seeing that all you have to do is choose a mascot out of the ones that are provided and then just click the ‘Use’ button. Any type of person, no matter how inexperienced they might be, is able to find their way around the app and surround themselves with cute companions.

There is no limit to how many of these small characters a user can add, and therefore, you have the possibility of covering your desktop with cuteness.

All the actions of the minions are defined with the help of XML files, and the images (animations) can be changed, both of which make this program highly customizable.

If you right click on a mascot, a context menu appears that contains several options such as ‘Another One!’, ‘Bye Bye!’, ‘Follow Mouse!’, ‘Reduce to One!’, ‘Restore IE’ and so on. From here you can also change the behavior of your little munchkins, like making them climb along the ceiling, jump from left edge, walk left and sit, and the list goes on and on.

Shimenji-ee is a very adorable and fun piece of software that displays one or more mascots on your desktop.
