About this Project:

"Despite being one of the most popular animals in the world, giant pandas are threatened by habitat fragmentation and unsustainable development. It is estimated that 1,800 pandas remain in the wild. WWF is the primary international conservation organization protecting pandas and their habitat."


That is why in our game we are raising awareness for pandas. In our game the objective is to dodge the axe which hurts the animals environment and collect bamboo which is pandas favorite nutrition and the only way to boost your score. Also in our game while the objects pass the speed increases.


Our game is an education and fun way to teach people on the importance of wildlife conservation. It will also help people learn about their struggles and why you should raise awareness.

I could see your project being used by schools to teach younger students about how pandas are endangered in a fun way! One little part you could add to your game would be to have panda facts at the start or end of every game round. Pandas being one of my favorite animals really made this game hit home for me, and I'm glad you took this issue and put it into light!

I love this gamification of wildlife conservation! Such a cool way to create awareness and empower people to empathize with pandas! To continue to increase awareness and encourage people to learn more - how about adding background canvas images which can be different regions where pandas are endangered. The app has done an amazing job at framing this issue and id love to see this make it way to schools! Congratulations.

I really like how you translated things that are helpful or harmful to pandas in the real world to things that are helpful or harmful to person playing the game. Perhaps in future iterations you could embed more facts about pandas, or continue your metaphor, and add other things that are good for pandas to give you points, and have the player dodge other things that are harmful to pandas.

Very creative and fun game because there was no mistakes. The 321 Go and the Game over aspect made this game a lot of fun.
