User reviews
This is THE classic eye candy effect from the days of MS-DOS. I love the improvements.
Amazing App, it's so Nice , I really Recommend it ' 5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 💯🔥 10/10 👌🏽
A classic screensaver brought to a modern platform. Simple, lightweight, requires no special permissions, no ads. I can watch these patterns for ages. 5 stars if we can get controls in a touch screen interface ;) Edit: And the developer reads comments! Thanks for the controls!
Great, just like the app I remember from the early 90s! Thanks to the dev for working on this, super nostalgic. I had the original app on a floppy and would load it up on school computers.
fantastic Zorch
