I wasn't quite sure what to expect when I got Electroplankton - all i knew was that it was a very unique game based on music making. The game is essentially a collection of 10 sound toys, each starring the 'Electroplankton', that I can only describe as being.... well, tiny electric plankton. Sound toys are little interactive audio-visual games where there isn't really a goal as such, except to play with the digital environment you're presented with and create cool nosies. As somebody who has made and worked with sound toys before, I loaded this game up fairly sceptical - how good could they be? Fortunately I was pleasantly surprised. Of ...  Read the complete review

Electroplankton is a very strange games that combines music with a fresh but slightly strange concept. In this game you create sounds using other sounds and experiment with the noises you get. In the performance mode, there are 10 different 'planktons', which each have a different stage which allows you to create your own sounds using the other little sounds already given. 01 Tracy In this mode there are 6 different planktons, whereby you can by using your stylus click on each plankton and then choose a blank space for them to move. When they move they create a sound..moving in short distances and long distances give different sounds. ...  Read the complete review

When I first read a review of this I read what you could do and wondered what on earth the point of it was. However a few weeks later I saw it on the shelves and thought I'd give it a go. On first look it seemed like I had wasted my money. It was just a collection of little sub features that made noises. After some playing around with it I realised that I had in fact been playing on it for over an hour and had hardly noticed the time go by. On the surface it is nothing more than some fancy ways of making sound, but once you get past thinking about it like that, it's actually a very relaxing way to spend time. On occasions I have set up ...  Read the complete review

When i first played electroplankton i wondered what the point of the game was as there is no aim to the games. The game consists of a series of mini games each containing electroplankton in a different setting. If you are wondering what electroplankton are, well they are little creatures which have the ability to make noises and can even change shape. The different mini games allows you to interact with the electroplankton to make music. The sounds which you hear are actually really soothing and very relaxing, it is almost impossible to make anything you play sound horrible. This game is really easy to play and also i have to admit slightly addictive. You can find ...  Read the complete review

There was quite alot of hype about this game, and i saw quite alot of adverts for it. I expected a really original and innovative game, but upon playing the game, i found that i was utterly disappointed. The game principles and aims are unclear, and is difficult to understand. The game poses different levels where you can tap different coloured shapes and they make a musical note, but it was extremely unclear what you are meant to do, chain them up and get points? Whilst it does have a steep learning curve, it is ambient, and the graphics and colours are appealing to the senses and you are quite intrigued at what is on your screen. Simply put, it ...  Read the complete review
