EcoDash: Combat Air Pollution, Save Animals in Endless Runner

Mother Nature: EcoDash is an innovative endless runner game available on Android, crafted with a mission to combat pollution. Developed by BOM (Birmingham Open Media), a UK-based immersive arts organization, the game is a collaborative effort with a group of girls aged 11-18 from the Powered by CAN youth project. Their insights significantly influenced the game's art style and mechanics.

What Makes Mother Nature: EcoDash Stand Out?

In Mother Nature: EcoDash, you step into the shoes of Mother Nature, portrayed as a Black female scientist dedicated to purifying the city and rescuing animals. Your nemesis, Smog, relentlessly pursues you, intent on exacerbating pollution. Your mission is to outpace the pollution, gather air purifiers, and maintain a low smog meter to avoid being engulfed by toxic clouds.

Beyond the typical run-and-jump gameplay, Mother Nature: EcoDash incorporates rescue missions where you save endangered animals throughout the city. Successfully navigating to the rainforest allows you to release these animals back into their natural habitats.

BOM's objective with this game was to make the critical issues of climate change and air pollution accessible and engaging. The game is packed with power-ups, shields, and bonus items to assist you in your mission.

Mother Nature: EcoDash is a straightforward yet impactful game with a strong environmental message. If this sounds intriguing, you can find it on the Google Play Store.
