毎日の小さな変化がうれしい、癒し系・放置育成アプリ。 「まりもっち」は、スマホの中でマリモをゆっくり育て、音ありの水換えや背景カスタムを楽しめます。センサー連動で端末を傾けるとコロコロ転がり、日中はふわりと漂う“光合成アニメ”で眺めるだけでも心地よい時間に。 主な機能 • 育成&ステータス:サイズ(mm)、清潔度、開始日、最終水換えを表示 • 水換え:波紋エフェクト+効果音、当日ボーナス成長/24時間クールダウン • 成長ログ:日次で自動記録。未起動日もまとめて反映 • 通知:最終水換えから4日後以降、毎朝10:00にリマインド • 物理挙動:傾きで転がる/日中はゆるく漂う(ON/OFF可) • 背景カスタム:プリセット12種+アルバム画像 • 水槽アイテム:SVGを追加・回転・拡縮、前面/背面の切り替え ゆったり続けられる成長 • 1日ごとに少しずつ成長。水換え後はしばらく成長ブースト • 放置しすぎると清潔度が下がり成長がゆっくりに • 週1回くらいの“お世話”でOK。負担なく続けられます こんな人におすすめ • 癒しがほしい/忙しくて時間をかけられない • アクアリウムや水槽カスタムが好き • コレクションを楽しみたい 本アプリはオフラインで動作し、アカウント登録は不要です。
