Ozean Säubern Light Version
Iphone, Ipad and Apple Watch
The aim is to save the pelicans by swiping the falling garbage into a net. Besides that, some oil patches appear from time to time that you have to get rid of. It gets faster the longer you play, which makes it more difficult.
You have three lives and then the game is over but there is basically just one level which makes the game monotonous after a few minutes. Moreover, the game is not very informative and has no learning effect since there are no facts about the ocean and the pollution included.
Because of the very incomplex concept and the infantile user interface the target audience appears to be children.
What will seperate our game from the others?
We want to make our game like a journey with a story in it where you have to safe the seven seas. It's all divided into several mini-games and each one covers a different topic. The player interacts with the main character as he learns about different aspects and problems of the ocean. He also starts to develop emotional feeling towards our protagonist as he also has to care about his welfare.
The aim of our game is to expand the player's knowledge in a playful way. For example after every completed level he can get some bonus points by answering a few questions concerning the sealife. It's not only about superficial facts but also more surprising and unexpected ones.
Furthermore our game will be a pleasure for the eye as it'll have nice visuals and character designs. That'll encourage our user automatically to join the game.
