Mother Nature: EcoDash is a new endless runner game on Android with a powerful message. This game, created by the UK-based immersive arts organization BOM (Birmingham Open Media), tackles the urgent issue of pollution head-on.
The game's development is a unique collaboration between BOM and a group of girls aged 11-18 from Powered by CAN, a youth project. Their contributions shaped the game's art style and mechanics, making it a truly collaborative effort.
What Makes Mother Nature: EcoDash Special?
Players take on the role of Mother Nature, a Black female scientist, tasked with cleaning up a polluted city and rescuing endangered animals. She's pursued by Smog, a villain determined to worsen the environmental crisis. Gameplay involves running, jumping, collecting air purifiers to keep the smog meter low, and avoiding being engulfed by toxic clouds.
Beyond the core endless runner mechanics, EcoDash incorporates rescue missions. Throughout the city, players encounter endangered animals needing help. Reaching the rainforest allows for their safe release back into their natural habitat.
BOM's vision for the game was to present the complex issues of climate change and air pollution in a fun and accessible way. The game is enhanced with power-ups, shields, and bonus items to aid players in their mission.
Mother Nature: EcoDash offers a simple yet impactful gaming experience with a meaningful message. Download it now from the Google Play Store if it sounds like your kind of game.
