Well, this is long overdue - I first played Electroplankton many, many years ago. Obviously after it came out, but I don't exactly recall when. I enjoyed it, well - SOME of the "minigames" - mostly in the pleasing soundscape that you can create. It's obviously not a game in any traditional sense of the word, but definitely worth playing with. Again, not all the modes - but some of them are really beautiful. More recently I decided that I should own a copy of my own - so I bought one on ebay and have since enjoyed its soundscapes again, and a bit more. I can't recall which ones - but definitely the one with bouncing off leaves and landing in the water? I wonder if this was ever released on any other platform? I think it would benefit from a larger screen and finger-touch? Or maybe it's most special as a DS "oddity"?
