| Umm... haven't seen a thread on this... at all... so...
Electroplankton is one of those games that make you wonder if it really is a game. Here's the scoop. There are ten plankton. With each one, you do different things with your DS. Each plankton makes cool sound effects or music when you mess with them. Tracy is simple. Draw lines on the screen and they make sounds depending how you draw the line (or circle or square or whatever). Hanenbow shoots off of a leaf and bounces off of other leaves. This is quite fun to do. Luminaria is a set of four different types of them. Each make a different sound. By changing the arrows that they bounce off of, they make different melodies. Quite pleasant. Sun-Animalcule is a unique one. Placing them on the touch screen makes them make sounds as they grow. Depending on where they are placed, they make different sounds. Kind of strange. Rec-Rec is awesome! There are four of them on the screen and they move along at the same time. Press one and when it returns, you record a sound with the microphone. Then it replays the sounds with a beat in the background. Results are hilarious at times. Nanocarp is also simple. They (as in all 16 of them) respond to sounds in the microphone from clapping to blowing into it, which they then form shapes. Using the touch screen you can make ripples that make them make sounds or you can also use the control pad to make a wave across the screen. Lumiloop is also simple. There are five of them. Spin them around. They make nice sounds. Marine-Snow requires you to tap the screen to make music. Simple, really. Volvoice is also pretty unique. It records your voice and when you change its shape to some pre-determined ones, it manipulates the voice. I made an AIM soundset using this one. Then there is Beatnes, my personal favorite. It mimics sounds from the NES. There are five different ones that are of different instruments. There are four soundsets here: Mario Bros., Kid Icarus, NES Collection, and Robot. My favorite is NES Collection which has some nice instruments (not to mention the Duck Hunt dog in there). Tap their bodies and they will repeat the sounds four times. Use the other bodies to make full songs. There is also an audience mode in which you don't have to do anything. It will loop through all the plankton and perform their actions for you. The only way to get this game is online, however. Unless you are lucky and find it in stores. Official Website for those who want to see what it is like. So... who else has this game? |

I love this game. Sometimes it's fun just to lay there in Audience Mode and listen to them play. My two favorites are Luminaria and Beatnes.  |

| I'm only into Rec-Rec and Beatnes in Audience Mode. I prefer to do everything else. Favorites are Beatnes, Volvoice, and Lumiloop.
Everyone wants to complain about lack of saves. It doesn't need it. Besides, if it did have a save feature, you could save... what? One song? The modes go on forever. If you kept going, you'd be stuck with one save or worse, not able to save at all. You could make some neat songs with this though. Use the headphone connection on the DS and hook it up to the microphone port of the computer to record your stuff. Heh. My AIM sounds are from Volvoice... 
Using an audio editor, you could make your own real songs with it if you wanted to... although I am crap with it... |

| This is such a good game. But I cannot say that it is really a game, but a work of art. I really like little things like this, these are the kinds of fun and creative things that I always loved more than just traditional gaming. It's great fun, and I recomend it to absolutly anyone as it is a great way to kill time and it's fun! | |||

| Thanks so much for reminding me about this game. I've seen it in action and fell in love with it.
I'm trying to get in on ebay. |

It's not a game.  It's more of a creative tool than anything, so if you buy it thinking it's like a game (missions, tons of stuff to unlock, etc.), then you'll be disappointed. But if you don't mind pulling it out to mess around with, then go nuts. Go in with the right expectations. |

| I know what type of game it is, and I'm sorry, I'm still gonna call it a game. Anyway, I've seen it in action and it looks like a lot of fun. I'm bidding on one now, and I've got $20 on it and with 3 days left. |
