If you don't understand the mechanics shown on the screenshots, you are able to make this a wallpaper by simply scrolling to the end of your options for wallpapers,and the settings option is on the right hand corner of the app screen... would be cool to disable the touch option, however, for the wallpaper version and to make different preset shapes. 5 stars for a nifty little app!

Whenever I put 5000 it glitches really bad fix for 5 stars ***and how do you go to settings uninstalling till you Ansure

Mesmerizing - just a shame there is no mechanism to place more than one point on the screen when you have a mouse/air-mouse rather than touchscreen (Android TV for example - it would be a cool backdrop on my 90" home-cinema setup!)

I was diagnosed with anxiety issues when I was five. Ever since I can't stop worrying. This actually helped calm me down. I literally never ,NEVER thought an app would help me. Thank you so much!

Great little app. Tip: if you condense a large number of dots into a single small mass, then get them to orbit a point, sometimes, instead of scattering, they will get stuck at the center, and periodically emit fast moving rings of particles.

N70%

Sooooo trippy. I like how you can change the colors. I also like how you can turn the particles into large pixels and make cool effects. Yeah, you gotta install this. It might be useless, but it's so freaking trippy.

It's the best live wallpaper I've ever used so it totally deserves 5 stars, but there are some things that can be improved which is that it interacts in the menu as well and because of that there is a delay in opening the app so there should be a option to turn it off in settings and second is that I wish the pattern keeps on changing on its own on home screen and react when we touch it as well, it would have been even better if these things were available.

I usually don't rate the apps.. Coz most of them are making u stupid. But man this tiny app is awesome, easy, simple yet mind blowing..

I never bother to write these honestly but I'm so impressed with this I couldn't not. I have ADD and this app is just amazing. Lol I don't even want to admit to how much time I've spent sitting here playing with the colors

Too bad it's inverted, making this, as some feminazis might argue, an misogynistic symbol (because upside star = male energies). Of course i'm kidding, fork feminazis, but as i'm not a big fan of Baphomet's pentagram, i shall give this app ONE "normal" star, as ballance dictates. Edit: lol, even the color spectrum is inverted. Edit2: i was expecting some easter eggs when choosing 666-666666 particles :(

I wasted half an hour on this thing. Super cool. Be careful, though. Don't add too many particles, or it will lag and you can't change it back. I had to delete it and redownload because of this.

You will think that you will get bored by just moving the particles but surprisingly it's very interesting you can spend 20-30 minutes or so without noticing. Very nice patterns are formed . Keep experimenting.

Such a cool app, I played for nearly 2 hours nonstop when I first installed. Love the settings too. It would be cool to have a contain setting - the edges of the screen are a wall - but It's so awesome anyway.

That Baphomet's pentogram u got there?(app icon):3. Try doing 100,000 particles (1million is RIP fps) with particles size 10, slow particles (225,225,225)and fast particles (76,160,76). Its very nice app for time wasting.

This is a truly exceptional app, I've not seen one as simple yet so brilliant. The added ability to have this as a background is wonderful, I fully recommend this.

For such a simple app it's extremely creative and involving! Since some games just require progress this is just far your mind can actually go Definitely worth 5 starts! Also would recommend everyone!

Wow it's so beautiful it makes for some great live wallpapers! I love it when you weave all the particals into one and watch it explode into something so beautiful there no other way to describe it!

Really fun app to play around with when you're bored. Doesn't freeze or lag, which is good, and I like that you can set it as a wallpaper. It looks very pretty as well.

Changing the colors are so impossible and I wanted to be 3 colors but it makes it rainbow all the time. I wish there was an easier way without numbers

Dev you have done a superb work I love this app also for those who want to know its function then let me tell you it exista to rela x your mind Try your self set the colors to light and focus on moving your fingers anywhere and you will realise you can achieve a perfect Mind blank . Dev a request , add afeature to create a particle around which other small particles revolve it can help visualise Atom ahahaheheh w8ing for it in next update hahaha

I love this app for killing time. The only thing I want to see added is a "minimum" attraction points so I can just tap to create triangles and squares etc. My fingers aren't precise enough to get the dimensions right.

You know what would probably make this app popular is if uou can save like a clip or a repeat and make it a live wallpaper

Very fun,simple and calming. I recommend this to reduce stress. Also the adjustable settings could be a little more clear but one of the best apps on my device so far

This is some truly fine piece of coding. The wallpaper is one of the most elegant and fascinating ones. I have purchased so many amazing ones yet this is still one of the most interesting and it is free without any advertising. Thank you!

So relaxing to play with. I like creating a singularity and then watching it implode in on itself, then shoot out rings of particles. Very satisfying

I'm one of those simple minded people fascinated by this app. I love it but it needs settings!

Stumbled upon this and dayum, this is a stress buster. My salute to the developer, just what i needed on a Thursday morning at work. Both Thumbs up!!

This is a fantastic trippy/timewaster app. All it needs is a Recording option. It would be amazing to watch back the trippy fractals we cause!

Great way to burn extra time,Hi App developer please make as screen saver I'll pay .99 cent can you do it ? Please answer thanks. Hey don't tell anyone there no such thing as a cellphone their our lives© Kar1ton

Not bad for a pointless app. In fact, it's sole purpose is to flood my brain with dopamines. Try white background (255,255,255), then white slow particles (255,255,255) and coloured fast particles (76,76,160) with 160 on the colour you like the most. Use 100 attraction and 8-12 drag, depends on your preference. To make an amazing blast: make circles until the particles coagulate into a dense region, then make an attraction point somewhere and Boom! looks like a type 1a supernova!

Great!! I miss that there's no way to show FPS, because it would be a good way to compare the performance for various devices. It is amazing when you manage to accumulate all particles at the same point and then it starts to explode throwing rings non-stop. 5 stars!

by I####:

Amazing visual art display. Tap the upper right corner twice and you can mess with settings regarding number and size of particles, color, speed, rotation etc. Very similar to the apps released by Sunglab. I actually like this one better because you have much more control over the particles AND the image isn't lost the second you remove your fingers. Keep up the good work!

But some problem occurs...If put a number beyond given example (50,000)as making progress to Lwp.it ceases then device screen went horribly black.

S70%
by S####:

By far the best I have found so far. Tons of customization, beautiful effects. You will have to find a balance for your phone or tablet, Turbo 2 lags at half million, 100k is beautiful and zero lag. Will drain battery fast (duh) so best if used for short times near a charger. Only thing I personally would like is the ability to chose attraction points without tapping, like a marker setting of some kind that you could drag/drop/remove. Maybe a non-linear wave function as well? No annoying ads! 10/10

It works really well and renders the particles nice and smoothly on my Xperia Aqua M2, and it looks really nice. But it's boring as hell, requires zero imagination, and even toasted I'd struggle to wrestle more than two or three minutes of entertainment out of it.
