EcoDash: Endless Runner Tackles Air Pollution, Saves Animals

Introducing Mother Nature: EcoDash, a groundbreaking endless runner game available on Android, developed by BOM (Birmingham Open Media), a UK-based immersive arts organization. The game's unique premise is hinted at by its name, where players actively combat pollution. This innovative project is a result of a collaboration between BOM and a talented group of girls aged 11-18 from Powered by CAN, a youth initiative. Their contributions were instrumental in shaping the game's art style and mechanics, making it a truly community-driven effort.

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 cleanse the city and rescue animals. Your adversary is Smog, a relentless villain intent on exacerbating pollution. The gameplay involves outrunning pollution, gathering air purifiers, and maintaining a low smog meter to avoid being engulfed by toxic clouds.

Beyond the core running and jumping mechanics, the game incorporates engaging rescue missions. As you navigate through the urban landscape, you'll encounter endangered animals in need of rescue. Successfully reaching the rainforest allows you to release these animals back into their natural habitat, adding a layer of environmental activism to the gameplay.

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 that assist players in their mission, making the experience both fun and educational.

Mother Nature: EcoDash combines simplicity with a powerful message, offering players a chance to engage with environmental themes in a meaningful way. If this sounds appealing, you can find the game on the Google Play Store.
