What Is Kirby Shimeji?
A Shimeji (しめじ) is a tiny desktop mascot that lives on the edge of your screen. The idea started as a Japanese desktop-pet program and Shimeji Buddy brings it to the browser. Kirby Shimeji is our games buddy inspired by Kirby. It uses a hand-drawn sprite sheet with walking, climbing, falling, sitting and special animations, so it looks like a real little animation rather than a static sticker.

Kirby Shimeji is one of the softest buddies in the collection. He floats up the side of the browser by puffing himself up, inhales when you click him and curls up for a nap on top of images.
