Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

Our game is a 2D runner that has all sorts of garbage frequently found on the ocean, comming in the direction of the player, that has the options of throwing then down to the bottom of the sea or collecting then. The destinations the player can travel is updated base on NASA data of sea currents. Of the two possible actions the one that yield the most points is collecting the garbage. The game give emphasys of telling a story that not only tries to tell how the hydrosphere is affected by this kind of phenomena, but also how not necessarily one country is responsible for the concentrations of garbage in the ocean near their countries and how everyone should be held accountable for the tragedy that is happening in that version of the Earth. This game is focused around kids up to the age of 10, but can be enjoyable by people of all ages.
