Anyone of any age can touch the many plankton on the screen and make some beautiful or interesting sounds. There are two modes that allow you to record from the microphone for more fun and variety. It can get old, as there is no story or real goals, but it is always good for a few minutes of fun.

What Parents Need to Know
About Electroplankton
Parents need to know that this is an open-ended game with no goal other than to explore making music and art. It contains no objectionable content, and could spawn creativity and interest in the arts. One downside to be aware of: Kids can't save their work.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about which plankton they like best and why. Families may want to play together: Since you can't save the amazing sights and sounds you create, it's good to have an audience while you play. Parents of older kids can talk about this innovative title. How is it unique? Are you bothered by not having a goal here -- or do you find it refreshing?
