Creating your own wallpapers is rewarding and fun. Why endlessly browse for an image that is close to what you want, when you can make your own? Fluffy Monster works in a three dimensional world, warping and bending both color and space to make stunning wallpapers for your favorite devices. Start with a grid of points. The grid can range from 9 points (3x3) to 49 (7x7) points and anything between. Each point can have a color or a twist, or both. Twists and colors can be copied from point to point making a repeating pattern. Fluffy Monster has built-in undo/redo. Undo is accessed by the standard 3 finger tap gesture or a shake of the device. Looking for inspiration? Fluffy Monster has a collection of pre-made Monsters to view and learn from. There is also a Monster Generator to randomly create patterns for inspiration. Have you made a Monster that you would like the world to see? Send your Monster to the Monster Zoo for others to download and admire. Fluffy Monster uses auto-renewing subscriptions. The subscription allows the creation of images from Monster files to be saved to the Photos app on the device. • The subscription will be charged to your iTunes account at confirmation of purchase. • Subscription automatically renews unless canceled at least 24 hours prior to the end of the current period. • Your account will be charged for renewal within 24 hours prior to the end of the current period. • You can turn off auto-renewal from your iTunes account settings or from the Help menu in the app. Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Privacy Policy: https://www.museassisted.com.au/fm/privacy.html
