Pac-Man Shimeji is part of Shimeji Buddy, a free Chrome extension that adds small animated characters to every web page you open. Once you turn Pac-Man on, the buddy appears at the bottom of the page, walks around, climbs the sides of the window, sits on top of images and reacts when you click or drag it. It works on Google search, YouTube, Reddit, your school portal and almost any other site.

What Is Pac-Man 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. Pac-Man Shimeji is our games buddy inspired by Pac-Man. 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.
