Extension summary

Shimejis are little characters or desktop buddies that play around on the sites you visit. They interact with the elements on the page. You control their behavior. Pick them up with your mouse pointer, drag them around, and drop them where you want. They can walk, crawl, climb, and jump all over the place. To have a little bit more fun you can also let them throw elements from a web page. They interact with all your favorite web sites. There are many shimeji characters to choose from.

User reviews

ngl this was a lot better in 2020-2021 then now, I had this around that time for the dsmp ones and they were great, so many more options and I could have about 2-4 of them at a time, everyone was mostly the same size, and not just pngs so overall great, but I got this again recently and I was looking for south Park and maybe I didn't notice before but there are a lot of characters that just used the PNG of it and it wouldn't be a problem for me but its a mix of a drawing and a PNG (not that big of a deal tho), so when I did find the south Park ones I got tweek n Craig but tweek is a lot bigger (like the in show version) while Craig is shorter and its noticeable when they sit down, stand, or climb. Another thing tweek wont sit down when I press the 'sit down' button he just stands there, and the lack of options compared to 2020-2021 is kinda sad but overall this is okay I just wish it was just a little better. ps- sorry for any miss spelled or run on sentences
