## What is Maximum Plaid?

You won't believe your eyes when you see the shapes flying around the screen!  Look at first and you will see pretty shapes that look like snowflakes, and filled snowflakes, and growing and shrinking shapes.

Look for a bit longer and you will see that the little snowflake objects are interacting with each other and their little pockets grab each other as they move across the screen in a beautiful physics simulation in two dimensions!

You can choose snowflakes, filled snowflakes, simple snowflakes, resizing shapes and you can remove them from the screen, all by pressing the buttons on the screen.

For maximum freak out take a look at "Maximum Plaid" and see all of the shapes interacting at the same time.  It is soothing and freakish at the same time!

Please enjoy!

### 3/5 — Please Update!! This had potential!!

*2025-12-20, version 0.91*

It’s producing poor quality graphics which doesn’t do justice to the developer nor Apple hardware.

### 5/5 — Not bad

*2020-05-26, version 0.91*

I try it out and it’s good

### 1/5 — has potential, but can’t get rid of wording on screen

*2018-05-09, version 0.91*

see very little use for this, that would have been a great app

### 2/5 — Could be an art tool…

*2017-09-19*

…but there seems to be no way to hide the on screen text or to take a snapshot to the camera roll.
Also some of the animations are laggy on my iPhone 6+ which is now an “old” model but still pretty powerful.
