About Plankton
Plankton lets you create and observe procedurally generated microscopic organisms that move and evolve based on mathematical algorithms, turning algorithmic beauty into a meditative visual experience. It's an ambient art piece disguised as a game, where you watch life unfold in miniature worlds inspired by the mystery of existence in a drop of water.
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.

last level is too weird to understand controls5 found this helpful
Plankton is the kind of game that makes you question every decision that led you to this point in life. It starts off all cute and relaxing, and then Level 12 arrives like a tiny microscopic war crime. I have never worked so hard to feed something that doesn’t even know I exist. 10/10, would lose my sanity to a single-celled organism again.1 found this helpful
This game is Great! 5 stars :D1 found this helpful
Easy achievements, trading cards and that's it.1 found this helpful
Level 12 was extremely tedious but for a 1 dollar game you can't complain really. Fun art style.
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…
