I wanted to create a children’s mobile game to help bring awareness towards amphibian extinction.

Problem

Around half of the amphibian are currently in decline due tonatural and man-made reasons, whole a third of the species are already threatened with extinction. This problem does not have as much coverage as itshould have and other animal species extinctions are taught to children but smaller creatures such as amphibians are not highlighted.
‍
Therefore, I wanted to create a children mobile game that highlights these threats that amphibians face that can drive species to extinction.  

Features

• Games
• Amphibian collection and customization
• Information about specific species
• Customizable habitat

I felt that variation of games and amphibians was crucial inorder to keep children engaged.

Solution

Rainforest rescue is a blend of popular game ‘Tamagotchi’ and minigames that are designed to bring awareness to the threats that amphibians encounter. The apps navigation is simple with large buttons as the age group I aimed this at was 5 to 10 years old meaning a smooth and easy experience is crucial to have them continue playing this game.

• Several interactive games based around the threats that amphibians encounter.
• Many different species of amphibians for the user to collect.
• Collectable backgrounds and objects to style the pet amphibians habitat.
• Progression system based on levels to unlock new amphibians and accessories.
• Section for each amphibians showing information such as diet, population status, habitat and current threats.
