Video Game Reviews of Electroplankton

Customer Review: The best non-game ever
Summary: 5 Stars

Electroplankton is not a video game! Let this be known. It is a work of art made by the eccentric Toshio Iwai who's art is based around combining audio and vision. Your interaction with the plankton in the game generates sounds, but there is no goal, no score, not even a save mode. It is almost like an instrument. So, if you have a creative side, and maybe find yourself tapping on your table while you work, I'd highly recommend this game (if you can find a legitimate copy). I've generated some cool loops in Hanenbow (a level where you bounce plankton off leaves in the level to generate sounds), and then I'll turn up the volume, set it aside and work to that beat. It gives me a sense of pride to know that I made the music I'm listening to.

Anyway, this game is the original non-game for DS, way before Nintendogs, Brain Age, and all the other games made for non-gamers and gamers alike. Don't miss out! If you can get Electroplankton, you'll experience interactive art at its finest.

Description of Electroplankton

Electroplankton is a truly unique hands-on visual and audio experience. Already a big hit in Japan, this is a new type of game where the goal is to create audio art. Use the DS touch screen to interact with striking underwater creatures. Poke, rub, and draw on the screen to stimulate the odd aquatic creatures and create your own music. Each level is a completely new sound experience, from haunting melodies to head-nodding beats to funky Mario theme remixes. You'll create new songs and experiences every time you play!
