I thought all the name changes were bad except Luminarow, and congrats on being the #1 fan 110, I'll be #2!

Yay, Supermarioman! I agree that the luminarrow change was for the better. It's nice to know that I have a number 2 now!

Just let it happen.

@cheapogamer whoever told you that is stupid. Electroplaknton is a retail game, but it got released on DSiware in separate parts. ONE of all 10 games is basically a demo of the sound app, because the retail version was released 5 years before the DSi came out. The other nine are great.

Just let it happen.

someone give a quick review of all of them for dsiware then put this at the end of the mini reviews.........."This electroplankton is sort of like a simple version of the DSi sound app, and is thus not worth it [once again, unless you are an electroplankton fanatic like me ] " that what I was goning off of beacuse they seemed to really cover the games pretty well...........

@Cheapogamer4life It's already on the DSiware section, but oh well. Here it is again.
[blue]Trapy[/blue]: on this game, you draw a line with your stylus to make a trapy[a certain type of electroplankton follow it. There are 7 trapys on-screen, which means you can have seven lines at a time. When you draw a line, the trapy follows it at the same rate you drew it. If the line goes to the right, the trapy makes high pitched noises as it follows it. If the line goes to the left, the trapy makes low-pitched noises following it. It’s pretty fun, but I would not get this one if you had to choose. 5/10 Untitled
[blue]Hanenbow[/blue]: On this game, you have trees with a few leaves, and you have tadpole-like electroplankton called hanenbow shooting up out of water into the trees. When the hanenbow hit the leaves, they make a noise. Different parts of the leaves make different pitched noises. The hanenbow bounce of the leaves depending on the angle the leave is at, and the angle the hanenbow hit it from [yes, it does use actual physics]. There are 4 different tree combinations for you to play with. It’s definitely one of the more fun electroplanktons, and it is definitely one to consider. 8/10Untitled
[blue]Luminarrow[/blue]: In this electroplankton, you have a 6 x 6 grid of arrows, and 4 electroplanktons called luminarrows. When you touch a luminarrow, it starts moving along the arrows, going whatever direction the arrow is pointing. Every time a luminarrow passes over an arrow, the arrow makes a sound. Each arrow has a different assigned pitch when a luminarrow passes over it. Each luminarrow moves at a different rate, and each luminarrow has a different sound when passing over arrows. You can change the direction the arrows are pointing by touching them. This is also one of the better electroplanktons, and it’s fun to play with. Definitely one to consider.
8/10Untitled
[blue]Sun-Animalcule[/blue]: In this game, all you see is a blank colorful screen. Where ever you touch it with your stylus, a tiny electroplankton called a sun-animalcule appears. Each sun-animalcule makes noises over time [in a rythym], and the pitch method is similar to Trapy [left is low pitched, right is high]. After about five minutes, the colors on-screen change to reflect a different time of day. When the screen is dark and it is "night", instead of sun-shaped sun-animalcules appearing, moon-shaped Falcatos appear, which make a different sound. This is also a fun electroplankton, and I would recommend it, though not as highly as Luminarrow, Beatness, or Hanenbow. 7/10
7/10Untitled
[blue]Rec-Rec[/blue]: In this game, you have 4 fish-like electroplanktons called Rec-Recs swimming across the screen. If you tap on a Rec-Rec, the next time it swims across the screen the microphone will star recording your voice [or whatever it is you are recording]. There’s not much else to it, but you can use the up and down pads on the d-pad to change the backround track. This is definitely NOT one of the better electroplanktons, and is not worth it.
3/10Untitled
[blue]Nanocarp[/blue]: In this electroplankton, there are 16 small electroplanktons called Nanocarps on the screen. If you tap the screen, a small shockwave in the shape of a circle spreads out, causing the nanocarps to make a noise if they are hit. If you make a noise into the microphone [or press select if you aren’t in a place where noise is a good idea], the nanocarps will form a shape or formation. Pressing different directions on the D-pad make a shockwave in a line go from one side of the screen to the other, causing the nanocarps to make different noises. This one is pretty fun, but not as good as Hanenbow or Luminarrow.
5/10Untitled
[blue]Lumiloop[/blue]: In this electroplankton, there are 5 O-shaped electroplanktons called lumiloops on the screen. If you hold down your stylus on them and make circles with it, the lumiloops will start to spin, making hypnotic lovely sounds. If you spin all five at once, it makes a very pleasing noise, and is great for soothing. Spinning them clockwise makes a different noise from spinning counterclockwise. There are 3 different sets of Lumiloops, with each set being a group of 5 electroplanktons. Each set has lumiloops that make different sounds. This electroplankton game is relaxing and sounds cool, but it’s still not as good as Hanenbow, Luminarrow, or sun-animalcule. 4/10
Untitled
[blue]Marine-Crystals[/blue]: In this electroplankton, there are many snowflake-like electroplanktons, Marine-Crystals, in a grid pattern, or making a shape. If you touch a Marine-Crystal, it makes a sound very similiar to a piano key. Each Marine-Crystal makes a different pitched note, and all the electroplanktons switch places as you touch them. There are 4 different sets of Marine-Crystals. This one would be more enjoyable if the Marine-Crystals didn’t move, but alas, they do. It’s not quite as good as sun animalcule, but it’s about as fun as nanocarp. 6/10 Untitled
[blue]Beatness[/blue]: in this one, you have 5 electroplanktons, each with a head segment, a tail segment, and 8 small body segments in-between the head and tail. In the backround, there is a classic nintendo game music playing. Every time you touch a segment, it makes a sound, which repeats after 8 beats. There are 4 classic nintendo songs to choose from, with each song having it’s own set of sounds. This is definitely one of the better electroplanktons, tying with hanenbow, and luminarrow. 8/10
8/10Untitled
[blue]Varvoice[/blue]: On this electroplankton, you have a tear-drop shaped creature called a varvoice on the screen. When you touch the varvoice, the mic starts recording, just like in Rec-Rec. After it has finished recording, whatever was recorded starts playing back repeatedly. There are many different shapes along the bottom of the screen, and when you touch one, the recording will be changed in some way. You can also clear the recording. This electroplankton is sort of like a simple version of the DSi sound app, and is thus not worth it.
1/10Untitled
[blue]Overall[/blue] Some people may realize that there is a cartridge release with all 10 of these, but it is very rare, and can be very exspensive. The electroplanktons all have a certain art style. The visuals look great, and they match the sound well. If you are a sound or music person, then Electroplankton is for you. If you are going to get any, then I suggest [in order] luminarrow, hanenbow, beatness, sun animalcule, or marine crystals.
Oh, and I wrote this. This is the one you saw, but don't mind the "[blue]" things. I just copied my review from DSihub and posted it here.
EDIT: I think you just made a small typo, which is why I put this down. Did you mean give, or gave? OH well, the thread needed this anyways!

I think you were talking about me. Darn it, I just called myself stupid. I think you misunderstood the sentence-it was only referring to Varvoice, not every electroplankton.

Yea, I was, sorry for the misunderstanding in my post, I have a bad habit of not going back over anything before I post from my dsi.As you can see thats something I really need to work on:(
On topic: Im looking at your reviews again and im shaking my head, I just dont get what all the fuss is about........
Edit: by the way I was just wondering whats your avatar? It reminds me of one of those ball and chain creatures off of Mario 64. I like to though:)

Meh, you just can't appreciate the best games ever . You sort of have to play them to see what they are like.

Great reviews 110! I'm really glad to see someone who dedicates this much time to Electroplankton.

WELL, I AM the #1 fan, and it's not an easy position to be in. You have to do things to be the #1, and this is part of what I do.

Yeah you are. Never seen a guy so interested in Electroplankton. I guess meeting Toshio Iwai (the creator of EP for guys who didn't know) would make your day (actually your life )!

can i put that in my signature?

from my planktons i can say the best to me is beatness, i just love poking the screen and make nice noises. the worst of mine is hanenbow, mostly because i belive is not loud enough, i only have three, though, hanenbow, beatness and luminarrow.

to record something from the ds you could use a male to male audio (or similar) cable from the ds to your tv or computer and recording it there.

Bloop.

I got 4 of them yesterday and I am loving them. I'm working on combining the music I'm making with them with music made in Jam Session through application of a male-male audio jack.
