Comments about Shimeji: Screen Buddies Android Version

It's decent. The outer bounds of my phone's screen (Galaxy Z Fold5) aren't detected properly in phone or tablet mode so when some Shimeji are climbing up the sides it doesn't sit them at the correct spot (so half their body might be visibly cut off for example). Dunno if this is an issue on all phones or just mine. Also I wish they could hop onto and climb apps and widgets on my home screen.

I LOVE this app, but as A LOT of people have been saying, there isn't an option to make you own characters. I've been looking for an app that's both good and you can make you own characters on, but I can't find one and this is the best I've seen. Overall, amazing app for people like me who just like seeing cute characters run around on your screen. Another suggestion, the should be able and interact with each other as others have said.

This personalization is so cute!! I'm so happy I found out about this app! The little characters are cute and they're interactable! The upgrades weren't even a bad deal either. Now my screen has 6 little cuties playing on my screen! I love it! Just a suggestion but maybe if you added animations where the characters interact with each other like helping each other up after falling or characters chasing each other? Oh, and please add more characters! More characters would be awesome!!
