Abstract


The relationship between man and nature, since the beginning of humanity, is necessary for the maintenance of life. Despite this, nowadays, solid waste is easily found in public roads and water courses, the incorrect disposal of these materials and the lack of ecological awareness of the population. Therefore, this article presents the game EcoAdventure, a playful and digital game that aims to help in the process of development of ecological awareness and environmental care. Aimed at children and pre-teens, through a playful, pleasant and interactive approach, the game has the objective of encouraging the player to collect solid waste that is scattered around a city and dispose of it using the selective collection principles. EcoAdventure is classified as a 2D platform game, developed and targeted for Android mobile devices.
