Bought this for a road trip to AZ Spring Training & the kids argued over who was going to get to play it next!

What I like best about the game is Volvoice. It is fun because you can record any sound and distort it any way you want.

Great graphics...

This is not really a game. You don't have a goal you're trying to achieving and you're definitely not tryng to break any records. You're supposed to groove to the music that you and the electroplanktons are making together. I bought this because I thought I could make interesting music with it while I'm away from my piano but...it's much more simplistic and in my opnion, it's for people who don't have any musical background at all. I found it un-fun and actually frustrating because it seems I'm just peicing pre-programmed sound bytes together and not really creating anything truly my own. Alas! Oh but the graphics ARE SUPER CUTE.

the ultimate relaxing game

in this game, Electroplankton, there is no specific point really. You just mess around with a bunch of tiny little fish! They make lots of diffrent noises and help you sedate your nerves. I highly recomend this game for all ages. Not a waste of money at all.

This is an instrument collection, not a sequencer

As the title states, Elektroplankton is a collection of different musical instruments. I would love to be able to save things, and a non-homebrew sequencer/synth app would be amazing (though the DS isn't powerful enough for much there). However, I also love that I can approach Electroplankton like my guitar or keyboards. I just open it up, and start playing. I play whatever comes to mind, or the Plankton's mind, and enjoy myself. I find I can come up with something interesting with all the Plankton, though I do have a few favorites.

I would love to see a sequel to this application, things like this are why I favor my DS more than my PSP; originality. The PSP looks gorgeous, and crushes the DS in raw processor and graphical grunt; but the DS is just more fun for me, and that is what counts (to me).

Whether I am launching some Hanenbow, altering the path of the Luminaria (which I would love the ability to stop them moving individually), setting some ambience with Lumiloop, or whatever, I can come up with some pretty nice sounding music and not just wacked out experimental stuff.

I can even use a lot of this stuff in other songs I write; just plug up the DS to my recorder and go. I am also considering composing an entire song using just Electroplankton. Should be interesting to see what I can come up with.

This is an amazing app, and if you are interested in electronic music, innovative, intuitive ways of playing, etc, you should definitely buy Electroplankton. Electroplankton was enough for a friend to buy my original launch day DS after seeing a demo of it; he was not into 'mobile gaming devices' until then.

As fun as you make it.

As you know, this "game" is more like interactive art. It is great to just kick back with and mess around. Put some headphones on to really appreciate it's celestial sounds.
The colors, sounds and interactivity are what really stand out with this digital toy. THere are 10 plankton that do different things. THe one I have had the most fun with is the reco-reco. It is basically a sampler that records your voice (or farts, or other bodily noises) and then sequences them to a beat. I have had a blast playing with these plankton which is limited only by your creativity. I have had a great time recording stupid medlys and harmonizing them. It really is a lot of fun.
All that aside, don't expect too much from this "game". And I actually do feel that it is a little expensive for what it is. If you can get it for $20.00 then get it. Otherwise, really consider your purchase. It's still fun though.

Fun game to pickup up randomly

good to pick up when you don't feel like getting deep into a game... just for some mindless musical fun

Unique and innovative

This is one of those games that changes the concept of gaming. The game is not about winning, but experiencing. Unfortunately there are no 'save' features in the game, however, the simplicity and elegance of sound sythensis make up for it.

highly recommended to all gamers.

I found this game to be fun yet soothing. I got lost in it for 45 minutes and I don't usually go gah-gah over games. It peaked my curiosity and responded uniquely to my imput.

non-typical game where there are no bad guys, no puzzles to be solved, no driving fast and furious. Just entertaining to play with the little creatures and listen to the music.
