Electroplankton is an interactive music video game developed by the Japanese multimedia artist Toshio Iwai and published by Nintendo for the Nintendo DS portable gaming system. This unique software allows one to interact with animated "plankton" and create music through one of ten different "plankton themed" interfaces. This title is commonly not regarded as a video game in the fullest sense, but rather a "toy" because there is no objective, timer, or top score. Everything that the game has to offer is available from the beginning. The first-run edition of Electroplankton in Japan came bundled with a set of blue colored ear bud headphones.

Plankton


There are ten different plankton to chose from, each with different attributes, sounds, and personalities. The Plankton are as follows:

  • Tracy -- Moves on lines you draw, with the speed depending on how fast the line was drawn
  • Hanenbow -- Launches off a leaf, then bounces on the leaves of a plant
  • Luminaria -- Move arrows to affect their direction
  • Sun-Animalcule -- Place them on the screen and they will grow, as well as give off different-pitched sounds depending on their position on the screen
  • Rec-Rec -- Records up to four sound samples and plays them over various drumloops
  • Nanocarp -- They move around randomly, or they can make formations by doing different things in the mic
  • Lumiloop -- Spin them around and they will make simple sounds
  • Marine-Snow -- Each will give off a tone when touched and switch places with the one touched previously
  • Beatnes -- Plays NES music in the background and they repeat sounds when you touch them
  • Volvoice -- Records your voice and repeats it in funky ways

@juneyramone Electroplankton is echt fat. Ik heb het serieus een uur zitten spelen. Ik voel me een beetje een drugsverslaafde, maar goed.
