Introducing Mother Nature: EcoDash, a captivating new endless runner game available on Android, brought to you by BOM (Birmingham Open Media), a UK-based immersive arts organization. The game's name hints at its unique premise: tackling pollution head-on. What makes EcoDash stand out is its collaborative creation with a group of girls aged 11-18 from Powered by CAN, a youth project. Their input was instrumental in shaping the game's art style and mechanics, making it a truly community-driven project.
What Makes Mother Nature: EcoDash Special?
In Mother Nature: EcoDash, you step into the shoes of Mother Nature, portrayed as a Black female scientist on a mission to clean up the city and rescue animals. Your adversary is Smog, a villain intent on worsening the environment. As you navigate through the urban landscape, your goal is to outrun pollution, gather air purifiers, and keep the smog meter at bay to avoid being engulfed by toxic clouds.
Beyond the core running and jumping gameplay, EcoDash incorporates rescue missions. Throughout your journey, you'll encounter endangered animals in need of rescue. Successfully reach the rainforest, and you'll have the opportunity to release these animals back into their natural habitat, adding a layer of purpose to your runs.
BOM's vision for the game was clear: to make the complex issues of climate change and air pollution accessible and engaging. EcoDash is packed with power-ups, shields, and bonus items to aid you in your mission, blending fun with a powerful message about environmental stewardship.
Mother Nature: EcoDash is a straightforward yet impactful game. If this sounds like something you'd enjoy, you can find it on the Google Play Store.
