About Abstract Art

This live wallpaper recreates the hypnotic tripped-out visuals featured in the cult classic SNES game Earthbound (Mother 2). Even if you've never heard of it, these animated wallpapers stand on their own. With the hundreds of backgrounds available in this tiny < 300kB package, you practically can't afford not to download it! Equip it now to give your device sweet visuals with low power consumption, and be the first person on your street with a totally boss wallpaper that doesn't bust the battery.

Flaunt your style while remaining environmentally conscious... Makes a great conversation starter... Use it to help meet the man or woman of your dreams... The possibilities are virtually endless! :)

(Note: this is still an alpha release with new features and changes coming and going. Although I test thoroughly before releasing, I only have two different Android devices out of hundreds. If you have any problems, please feel free to send me an e-mail. I will be more than happy to respond to you personally and get the bugs fixed!)

-=[ Instructions ]=-

* Install and set as your live wallpaper.

* Double tap a blank spot on your home screen to load a different background (behavior is configurable in the settings).

* Check out the background chooser (accessible via the settings) to make a custom background playlist!

-=[Background Chooser]=-

* Click on a thumbnail once to preview it. Click it two or more times to check/uncheck it.

* Every background that you check will be included in a custom wallpaper "playlist."

* If you only want a single background to display, clear all the checks, and recheck the one you like.

* The "Select All" and "Clear All" methods are included (press your menu button or check the action bar) for your convenience. :)

-=[Disclaimer]=-

This app is available for download and use free of charge.

This is alpha software! I'm releasing very early in the development cycle because I've basically reached the limit of the testing I can do with my available resources. It might run poorly on your phone, crash randomly and for no reason, or simply not run at all. If you're not willing to deal with potentially flaky software, don't download this application! But if you decide to give it a try, please consider taking a moment to let me know how it runs, any problems you had, and what kind of device you have.

Thanks! :)

I stumbled across this app accidentally whilst looking for a generic animated-wallpaper app for Android, for the purposes of using an animated GIF of an Earthbound background for my phone. I was really surprised to see that an app would exist perfectly for that purpose, so I love it! If anyone is wondering about the installation, it won't appear as an icon on the dashboard, you will have to set it as the background in your phone settings. If only I had read the description I would've known that right away.

I've had this app before on my Droid Razr and loved it. On a Note 3 now and every time I go to run it it's not in my app drawer and in wallpaper settings it's there but when I try to click it it says not installed. Uninstalled/reinstalled, rebooted many times to no avail.

D70%
by D####:

It says I installed this app but unlike every other app I downloaded it won't create the shortcut to let me use the backgrounds at all. It doesn't even acknowledge that this app even exists on my phone even after downloading. It may be my phone but I never had this problem before or after this app. I would love to use these backgrounds because earthbound was a cool game and I loved the backgrounds.

The only issue is just with the wallpaper chooser. The icons apear incredibly small on my device (Samsung Galaxy S7) and it is very difficult to click on/tell some wallpapers apart. Aside from that tiny problem, the wallpapers run smoothly, it doesn't crash, and the battery has been practically unaffected. Great work.

I just got done beating Earthbound on the WiiU Virtual Console, and was pleased to see that I can use the trippy backgrounds from the battle scenes as wallpaper. No lag and plenty of options to choose from. Everything from Runaway Dogs to the final battle with Giygas is here. Truly a great app for an Earthbound fan.

Any true Earthbound fan would understand that. This wallpaper stinks, quite literally, of nostalgia! Thanks for compiling all of the video drugs (the Earthbound battle backgrounds) and animating them in their full glory. BOING!

While selecting the weird little swirly backgrounds, touch and hold one. Any one will work for the Easter egg to happen. (Anyone know why the Mani Mani Devil's background says "No. 3"?)

This makes me smile. So well put together, I can almost feel the controller in my hands and hear the timeless tunes. A must for any smart phone wielding Earthbound fan.

I was actually looking for something else when I stumbled upon this! Its the best wall paper app I've ever seen. And it works perfectly. This is something a true earthbound fan would love. Thank you!

Has tons of backgrounds with a really cool EarthBound themed interface, best part is it's animated just like the real deal. If anyone uses an LG phone, use the white hole swipe effect. it looks great with this.

N70%
by N####:

At first it worked just finen but after a while of having it, it glitched out! Now the backgrounds are different. I uninstalled it just now. Only one star

D70%
by D####:

This app is excellent! It lets me go back and remember all of those enemies in Earthbound that I beat up. The app doesn't drain the battery as much as you might expect. No sneaky ads, popups, or malware originates from the app. And it's free!

I'm on a cheapo walmart phone running Android 4.4.4, and the only time it stops is from other apps that cause the whole phone some problems. But that rarely if ever happens and by itself, it works great.

by D####:

It was really awesome up until I upgraded my firmware a couple months ago. Now there's no way to launch the app and set those groovy backgrounds. Makes me sad.

No other spiffy widget or Google Now card can make me look forward to waking my phone as much as this. Mini doses of blissful nostalgia each time.

N70%
by N####:

There is a paid version. I can't imagine it could be any better than this. This is all I want in an earthbound live wallpaper. I'm going to now make a go launcher icon pack so that my contacts, aps, sms and camera are Ness, Paula Jeff and Poo. There is just one user who gave less that 5 stars. We should paint him blue.

M70%
by M####:

Amazing affects and brings back memories. Though the selector has no way to change the background. Forcing me to cycle through it via tapping the home screen.

N70%
by N####:

It's exactly what I wanted. EarthBound was the second RPG I played as a kid, and this is an awesome Live Wallpaper. If I have any gripes, it's that the enemies seem to be in random order in the list, Pokey's not visible in Giygas' first form, and there's no Diamond Dog. Otherwise, it's perfect. :)

whenever i move the screen or an app in my device it keeps lagging could you please fix that problem

K70%
by K####:

This is great! But you are missing some enemy's here though. This is still cool nonetheless! I also hope seeing a Mother 3 one. But that's fine if you don't make one. Thanks!

D70%
by D####:

So simple, but so perfect. Mother 2 is my favorite game of all time. If you could add Mother 3 characters/enemies, whether it's in this wallpaper as a update or a separate app, I'd happy pay a buck or two for it. :)

by D####:

Seeing Giygas going crazy still gets to me. But I love it! Add Heavily Armored Pokey and it would be perfect

D70%
by D####:

I think you missed Carbon Dog's second form, Diamond Dog or I just didn't see it. Not enough of a problem to subtract from the score I gave though.

Can you please fix this? It won't stop crashing!

D70%
by D####:

It has pretty neat options, randomized backgrounds, selection of enemies. I'm really having a hard time finding a good wallpaper replacement after months of use.

X70%
by X####:

But the thing is, when you first launch it, everything is marked as favorite. It was hell for me just to unfavorite everything else to get what I wanted. Cool app though.

Now I can't use my phone, I'm too scared. Please add a pray function.

I love it! I haven't got any bugs but I hope you guys will fix the 'mysterious bug' soon!

by U####:

Have I got a great show for you folks tonight! Ka-boom! Excellent options, nostalgic Earthbound enemies, authentic feeling Mode7 background, all around fun wallpaper. A perfect way to be greeted by old gaming memories when you have to call your dad to save your progress. Wholehearted recommendation.

X70%
by X####:

Perfect for those of us who'd like to take a little bit of Earthbound with you on the go. Customizing when your favorite background shows up and controlling when it switches makes it all the better.

This could be the best live wallpaper ever. The most impressive thing about it is the battery life. Hardly notice any difference from having a non live wallpaper before.

I take everything back: no more bugs, still marvellous. Absolutely perfect. I just donated because this is the best thing that happened to me since the discovery of salted caramel.

These wallpapers were just the ones I wanted. Also a suggestion, you should add Mother 3 aswell.

The first question people will ask is "How do I open the app" well you don't. There should really be an explanation to how to find the wallpapers. My friend luckliy found them by randomly changing his wallpaper

Freaking awesome, and free! There is a lot of love and work here that I'm sure anyone else would have charged for. Absolutely love Earthbound, and this is right up my ally.
