Read full description

EcoCat is an educational game where a friendly explorer cat cleans trash off the beach. Search carefully through sand, rocks and dunes: cans, plastic bottles, abandoned fishing nets and polystyrene must be collected and recycled. But be careful: starfish and seashells belong to nature and must be protected! Every right choice earns you fishbones, every mistake costs you time. WHAT'S INSIDE • Sardinia's most famous beaches: La Pelosa, Cala Brandinchi, Tuerredda, Cala Goloritzé and Capo Caccia. • A trip around the world with Miao-Go, from Portugal to Japan, all the way to Australia and New Zealand. • Eco Decisions: for every item, choose whether to recycle it, protect it or bring it to the police. • Lost valuables to return to their owners within two turns. • Missions, round challenges, weather conditions (mist, wind, golden hour) and the Eco Vision power. • A market full of plushies, squishies and outfits to customize EcoCat and its home. • EcoCat's daily routine: brushing teeth, stretching and going to bed. • Timed Game Center global leaderboards for every beach and for the Sardinia Tour. SAFE TO PLAY Free, no ads, no in-app purchases and no personal data collection. Available in English and Italian.
