Mother Nature: EcoDash, a new endless runner for Android, tackles environmental pollution head-on. Developed by BOM (Birmingham Open Media), a UK-based immersive arts organization, this game is a unique collaboration. Eleven to eighteen-year-old girls from Powered by CAN, a youth project, significantly contributed to the game's design, influencing everything from its art style to its gameplay mechanics.
What Makes Mother Nature: EcoDash Stand Out?
Players embody Mother Nature, a Black female scientist, on a mission to cleanse the city and rescue animals from the clutches of Smog, a villain intent on environmental destruction. 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 features rescue missions. Players encounter endangered animals needing assistance throughout the game, ultimately releasing them back into the rainforest.
BOM's objective was to present complex issues like climate change and air pollution in an accessible and engaging manner. The game incorporates various power-ups, shields, and bonus items to enhance the experience.
Mother Nature: EcoDash delivers a simple yet impactful message through enjoyable gameplay. Download it from the Google Play Store today!
