Mother Nature: EcoDash, a new endless runner for Android, tackles environmental issues head-on. Developed by BOM (Birmingham Open Media), a UK-based arts organization, this game features a unique collaboration with girls aged 11-18 from Powered by CAN, a youth project. Their input shaped the game's art style and mechanics.
What Makes Mother Nature: EcoDash Stand Out?
Players embody Mother Nature, a Black female scientist, tasked with purifying the city and rescuing animals from Smog, the polluting antagonist. Gameplay involves outrunning pollution, collecting air purifiers, and managing a smog meter to avoid being engulfed by toxic clouds.
Beyond the core running and jumping mechanics, EcoDash incorporates rescue missions. Players encounter endangered animals needing assistance, ultimately releasing them back into the rainforest.
BOM aimed to present climate change and air pollution in an engaging, accessible manner. The game includes various power-ups, shields, and bonus items to aid players.
Mother Nature: EcoDash delivers a simple yet impactful message. Download it from the Google Play Store to experience this unique blend of fun and environmental awareness.
