About Plankton
For many years naturalists have been portraying the natural world, and now we can create a self-contained biological world.
The organisms(style and movement) are generated by particular mathematical(trigonometric functions) codes, all based on points.
This could be a new form of art.

Living in a drop of water.
Flowing on the surface.
I am no one.
My galaxy in one drop.
Life is so simple.
But full of mystery.

Note: For best experience, play this game in a dark room, alone.
I am adding more contents as an idle game with art style, just like some virtual installation artwork.

Plankton, developed and published by PanGuoJun, is a quietly unconventional experience that blurs the line between simulation, generative art, and interactive meditation. Rather than presenting players with objectives, enemies, or structured progression systems, it invites them into a microscopic digital ecosystem—a drop of water inhabited by abstract lifeforms whose behavior is governed by mathematical principles. It is less concerned with challenge and more focused on observation, growth, and the beauty of emergent patterns. At its core, Plankton functions as a life simulation built on procedural generation. The organisms within the environment are not pre-designed creatures with fixed animations, but forms shaped by trigonometric functions and evolving variables. Their movement, structure, and interactions arise from code rather than scripted events. As a result, what players witness is an evolving dance of geometric shapes and organic motion. The visual effect can feel hypnotic, as simple points and lines gradually transform into complex, almost biological forms that drift and react within the contained aquatic space. Interaction is intentionally minimal. Players influence th…
Plankton is a simple and peaceful game. Watch and interact with this small creature in order for it to evolve. Art and Visuals are a great touch! Fun experience for its low price :)
I like when he eats it's very good :3
