About this Project:
We have created a game where you have to save different animals for a variety of reasons. In our game, one of the levels is where you have to catch the falling koalas. The trees are burning and they can no longer live in the forest. You are given a basket and need to catch 15 koalas in 25 seconds. However, if you don't catch them all, you lose the level and have to try again. We did this by creating a forest backdrop and images of fire on the trees. We then drew the koalas through an app called Piskel. Lastly, we made the koalas fall, which had to be caught using a basket that we created (on Piskel as well). Once you have finally caught all the koalas necessary in the limited amount of time given, you beat the level. Throughout the game actions like these help indicate that we need to go out and save these endangered species.

Feedback from the Judges:
Wow! First I would like to commend you on your collaborative efforts. Much like a team working on a design project in the "real world" you each had a defined role and understood the importance of seeing your work through so others could to their job. I am glad you wrote out each of your contributions in details. The music was GREAT! The tone and the pace was perfect for your topic and the actual play activity required. Lastly, the fun facts at the end of the level were a lovely detail and informative. Well done!
You made a fantastic, thought provoking and important game. I really enjoyed playing each level, but even more, I enjoyed the animal facts and important issues scattered throughout the game experience. I also loved how you each took on roles and worked together to create a very layered and thoughtful game experience. Very well done! Dr. Jane Goodall, who works to save the apes of Africa from poachers, would love to see that you've made a game on this important issue.
I really like the art style of the game, it is very unique and charming. Well done! I'm also a big fan of using a game as a medium to spread awareness of these environmental issues as this is something that can be used to introduce important topics to younger students.
Wow, hats off to you guys. I love how much thought and effort you put into the creation of this game. By including multiple levels you have somewhat diversified the content of the game. You have made sure there is not just one animal represented in this but allowed multiple endangered species to have some type of representation. Maybe you guys should look into partnering with an organization that helps endangered species, I know they would just love working with you!
