Actors playfully stroll and climb across the desktop, sometimes hiding behind open windows. Actors even respond to your mouse clicks. In addition to Marill, the program offers seven other actors for you to choose from. Marrilmatic prominently features Pokemon characters, including Pikachu, Raichu and more. If you don't care for Pokemon, you'll also find South Park's Kenny as well as Stewie from Fox's highly underrated Family Guy.
More actors are available from the author's Web site.
Marrilmatic is fully configurable, and in some aspects it's quite sophisticated. You can set system priorities for individual actors, which allows you to conserve CPU resources while you're not playing with them. Marrilmatic also lets you set positions of actors, including the number of minutes before they fall asleep. Given that you have the resources, you can load as many actors on the desktop as you want. You can set up playlists so you can quickly load multiple characters at once.
