Electroplankton!!! - DS

5th March 2005, 8:55pm
I only heard about this game half an hour ago and it's already at the top of my wanted list, right next to Animal Crossing DS. Electroplankton is probably the most out-there game for the DS yet. If any of you ever had the fun of playing SimTunes, then you'll have a pretty good grasp of the game.

Electroplankton are little critters that bounce around your Nintendo DS screen. You can touch them, drag them and bounce them all over the place. Each critter has a musical note assigned to them, so when you bounce them they make a kind of soothing music. They swim around in water and climb trees. Each plankton has a name, like Luminaria or Volvoice. You can make your own songs up by placing objects in the water or setting them up in different backgrounds. You can also set it to randomly make music.

There's not much more I can say, other than to guide you to the official site. Explore every button - you don't need any Japanese to get the idea, and also to view videos and unlock wallpapers.
