Electroplankton is a simple music tool, that let's you use one out of ten different Electroplankton to make music. It's not a game, it doesn't have an objective. You simply sit back, relax, and enjoy the simplicity of what you do with the stylus. The game is simple to start. You are greeted with a menu that has two options. Performance Mode, and Audience Mode. Selecting Performance Mode allows you to choose one of ten Electroplankton, and start making music. Audience Mode is a fifthteen minute demo spanning across all ten Electroplankton, that make music for you. This demo is interactive, which means you can jump in at any time if you feel you want to mix things up. Each Electroplankton has a unique way of making music, aswell as a different tone. Such as Lumiloop, which consist of five of them, in where you use to stylus to spin them, while doing so, each admit a different relaxing "hum" the faster you spin them. Or Rec-Rec, which allows you to add your own voice into the mix. Electroplankton is more of a toy, or music tool. It's not a game. It never was intended to have an objective. It's a rare gem that shouldn't be overlooked by collectors. There is endless ways on how you can use Electroplankton when it comes to making music. All it takes is some thought, patients, a DS, stylus, and some imagination. The rest is completely up to you, while you make the Electroplankton do the work.Read full review
We bought Electroplankton, because we heard how popular the title had become in Japan and were anxious to try it. It is very cute, and is a fun diversion when you have a few minutes to play. It is not a "game" per say because no score is kept, and you can never beat it. Instead, it is fun to use your stylus, and voice features to move the electroplankton to create your own music. You can hook the game up to your stereo and play your electroplankton music around the house. I have not found a way to store the music, so basically everytime you play, you are starting over with a new song to play. In this respect, that makes the game pretty repetitive. We stopped playing the game after about 2 weeks of novelty wore off.
We were looking for a DS game that our younger son could play that didn't involve a lot of reading or quick running/jumping moves. Electroplankton isn't a game per se, but an opportunity to manipulate little creatures to make music. Also, it makes use of the microphone feature of the DS, so you can record your voice and incorporate it into some of their songs. It's visually entrancing and and the techno/relaxing electronic songs are pretty good. An older child would get bored with this game VERY quickly, but my younger one is taken with the cute little creatures and ability to manipulate them.
i read a review for this game while it was in transit to my home (before i had ever played it) that kind of summed up Electroplankton. It said "why pay $35 for a DS feature demonstration game card?" (something like that) You can't truthfully call Electroplankton a game. Being employed in the music biz, this "game's" musical theme seemed very appealing to me.But, after playing for about 30 minutes, I was like "is that it?" The "game" has 10 sections where you manipulate the electroplankton to play different types of music. You might slide the stylus across the screen, poke the screen,or even use the mic to actually record your voice into the DS. One section litarally has you spin circles around to make a sound similar to rubbing the top of a wine glass--that's all you do! Reasons to buy this game----consider it digital art with interesting sounds and visuals---and this game was allegedly put out in limited quanities. If you want something different, or you are a collector--buy Electroplankton.Read full review
This is great fun. While not a game, it is a great music 'toy' or enhancement for the DS. Makes good use of the touch screen, has great visuals, and very soothing chill out music. It's not challenging, pretty much anyone can jump in and be making groovy sounds without any work. Great for young and old - though hardcore gamers probably would put their money somewhere else, if they had it they'd enjoy it. It's much more effective if you use earphones or headphones, the effect of the swirling sounds is much better this way.
