A portable techno/ambient jukebox.

Electroplankton is a musical activity. You can pick from several "instruments" that allow you to change the tone and tempo of their sound.

If you are looking for a unique game experience involving sound... this is for you.

A month or so later what do I do with Electroplankton? While I am programming, I plug in some headphones and listen to the audience mode for two hours or so. Any longer and my ears hurt.

Pros:
1) The game can play random sequences continously.
2) You can compose orginal music, perfect for remastering.
3) Good Nintendo style graphics

Cons:
1) Repetitive nature of game gets annoying.
2) No saving your work.

Fantastic Musical Toy

This is NOT a game! Just had to get that out of the way. Elektroplankton is a collection of musical toys. Some are stunning, amazing, and captivating while others did not suit my tastes well at all. Overall, the entire package is well worth it if you are into music, multimedia, and the fusion of art, music, and interactivity.

Very fun, repeat play somewhat lacking

When I bought this game I knew that repeat playability might be a problem after the initial fun wore off. It does take a bit longer to wear off than you might think with no goals or saving of the game in any way, but for me anyway it did eventually happen. It is a beautiful game and very fun to play for people that don't like video games at all. My dad for example played it for about 30 minutes. But after a couple weeks maybe, I personally lost interest.

Electroplankton is more of a toy than a game

If you're looking to buy this, realize that Electroplankton isn't so much of a game as it is a DS toy. Only a few levels offer music based puzzles, while the rest are music based toys. While relaxing and enjoyable, this game doesn't have a long lasting appeal. I found myself getting bored with it after about 2 weeks.

a peaceful game

It's the kind of 'game' that you pick up when you're really bored, or just feeling the urge to be creative. However, the novelty wears off quickly, and the lack of ability to save your creations is a major drawback. It is pretty soothing, though.

THE BEST GAME EVER!!!!!!!

Electroplankton is proboly the best game ever. I dont have it yet, but my friend has it and im addicted. Im 10, and ive been into music for 6 years. I hate my piano lessons, but i love my cello lessons. My favorite plankton is hananbow, but I also like nanocarp and lumninloop.

Didn't exactly live up to expectations

I was really hoping this game would become something I would pop in and play with whenever i couldn't decide on what to play or when i just felt like some down time, but that just wasn't the case. Elecktroplankton just doesn't have enough to keep me A)coming back to play and B)keeping me play.

All harshness out of the way I will say there are some really cool stuff to mess with. I have found myself a few times hooking the game up to my PC speakers and having it play really loud while doing homework. It does have that almost "Nirvana" thing about it. In the end of the day though the chance of you using this more than a handful of times will be very low.

If you are really bugged out for a "strange" game look up "Daigasso! Band Brothers" or "Ouendan" otherwise known as "Elite beat agents".

not your ordinary ds game

A pleasant change from the shoot-em up rock -em sock -em type of game. a must if you have a music bone in you.

more audio experimenting tool than game, like nothing else

This "game" is amazingly cute and playful, but really not a game at all. There are 11 different fun tools that give you various ways to play around and make music or sounds, and if you like to experiment you will have a great time. Or you can just let the game make it's own music while you watch.

For publishing something completely unique, Nintendo should be praised. This shouldn't be compared to other video games though, as it can't be used or enjoyed in the same ways at all. If it sounds interesting to you to have new tools to make music with, then pick it up.

Extrordinary Game! Beautiful!

I love this game. It really relaxes you and I even put some people to sleep with the calming music! This game is actually educational. Some people say it is not a game. It really depends on what you mean by the term "game" because I think this is one of the best games in my ds case. You get to interact with the singing plankton. It is so original and very beautiful and breathtaking. My cousin couldn't stop playing with it. It is one game you will want your family to play!
