EcoDash: Endless Run to Combat Pollution, Save Animals

Mother Nature: EcoDash is an innovative endless runner game available on Android, developed by the UK-based immersive arts organization, Birmingham Open Media (BOM). This unique game combines entertainment with environmental awareness, focusing on the fight against pollution. BOM collaborated with a group of girls aged 11-18 from the youth project Powered by CAN, allowing them to influence 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 on a mission to purify the city and rescue animals. Your adversary is Smog, a villain intent on exacerbating pollution. Your challenge is to outrun the smog, gather air purifiers, and maintain the smog meter at a safe level to avoid being engulfed by toxic clouds.

The gameplay isn't just about running and jumping; it includes engaging rescue missions. As you navigate through the cityscape, you'll encounter endangered animals in need of rescue. Successfully reach the rainforest level, and you'll have the opportunity to release these animals back into their natural environment.

BOM's objective with Mother Nature: EcoDash was to make the critical issues of climate change and air pollution accessible and understandable through an entertaining medium. The game is packed with power-ups, shields, and bonus items to enhance your gameplay experience.

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