Mother Nature: EcoDash: A Fun, Engaging Endless Runner Tackling Pollution

Dive into Mother Nature: EcoDash, a new endless runner for Android with a powerful message. Developed by BOM (Birmingham Open Media), a UK-based immersive arts organization, this game directly confronts the issue of pollution. The game's unique development process involved a collaboration with girls aged 11-18 from Powered by CAN, a youth project, whose input shaped the art style and game mechanics.

What Makes EcoDash Unique?

Players embody Mother Nature, a Black female scientist, tasked with purifying the city and rescuing animals from the clutches of Smog, the villainous antagonist. Gameplay involves classic running and jumping mechanics, but with a twist: players must evade pollution, collect air purifiers, and manage a smog meter to avoid being consumed by toxic clouds.

Beyond the core gameplay, EcoDash incorporates rescue missions. Throughout the city, endangered animals require assistance. Successfully guiding them to the rainforest allows for their safe release back into their natural habitat.

BOM's vision was to create an enjoyable and accessible way to educate players about climate change and air pollution. The game is enhanced with various power-ups, shields, and bonus items to aid players on their mission.

Mother Nature: EcoDash is a simple yet impactful game. Download it from the Google Play Store to experience this engaging and meaningful title.
