Inspiration
Recycling is very important to keep the Earth clean and healthy. However, when we don’t recycle properly there can be problems. For instance, if the incorrect item is put into the recycling, that entire batch of items is no longer sent to be recycled. We want to use this game as a fun tool to help you remember what are proper items to recycle, compost, and trash. We hope you can use this game to learn the proper recycling habits and play with your friends!
What it does
An evil goose is littering the city! Players (as Supermoose) must pick up the litter and place them in the proper bins. There are trash, recycling, and compost bins. If they are able to score the right amount of points and sort all the trash correctly, players win and move to the next city/level. The goal of the game is to promote civic engagement through recycling, and taking care of our planet by creating cleaner cities for our communities!
How we built it
We used Unity and C# to build the game. Animations and drawings were made using Piskel.
Challenges we ran into
It was our first time creating a 2D game and using Unity and C#. It took a while to understand Unity's UI and figure out how to do what we wanted to do with that. Another challenge was time - due to our lack of experience with Unity, we didn't know how much time we would need to create each element of our game. It was also hard to collaborate using Unity.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
How cute Supermoose looks :P Hahaha, no but seriously - We are proud of our idea and what we did manage to implement given the time constraints and our experience level. We are happy to have made a game that is not only meant to be fun but also educational and that will hopefully promote better recycling practices within our community :)
What we learned
We learned how to create scenes, assets, and sprites on Unity.
What's next for Supermoose
More levels! More cities to clean! More bins with harder recycling items to increase knowledge on this subject matter further. We would also like to make it a multiplayer game to promote even further civic engagement and allow users to share the super fun of Supermoose with their friends.
