EcoDash: Endless Runner Tackles Air Pollution, Saves Animals

Introducing Mother Nature: EcoDash, a groundbreaking endless runner available on Android, crafted with a powerful environmental message at its core. Developed by BOM (Birmingham Open Media), a UK-based immersive arts organization, this game isn't just another run-of-the-mill mobile game. It's a collaborative effort with a group of girls aged 11-18 from Powered by CAN, a youth project, whose insights have shaped the game's art style and mechanics.

What Makes Mother Nature: EcoDash Unique?

In Mother Nature: EcoDash, you step into the shoes of a Black female scientist, aptly named Mother Nature, on a mission to cleanse the city of pollution and rescue endangered animals. As you navigate the urban landscape, you're constantly pursued by Smog, a villain intent on exacerbating the environmental crisis. Your task is to outpace pollution, gather air purifiers, and keep the smog meter from reaching dangerous levels, or risk being engulfed by a toxic cloud.

Beyond the thrill of running and jumping, the game includes engaging rescue missions. As you dash through the city, you'll encounter animals in need of rescue. Successfully navigate to the rainforest to release these creatures back into their natural habitat, adding a layer of purpose to your gameplay.

BOM's vision for Mother Nature: EcoDash was clear: to make the complex issues of climate change and air pollution accessible and engaging. The game is packed with power-ups, shields, and bonus items, designed to not only enhance gameplay but also educate players on environmental stewardship.

Despite its simplicity, Mother Nature: EcoDash carries a profound message. If the blend of fun and purpose appeals to you, you can find it on the Google Play Store.
