Climate GO - ClimateJam

THIS IS ---- Climate GO! 

Here you'll have, manage, and decorate your own cute little island with trees, flowers, and little critters. 

Whenever you travel in real life, you can hit the [TRAVEL] button in the game and select your modes of transport and destinations, and once you complete your trip, you might notice that your virtual island has changed... in an interesting way...

Here are some explanations:

The changes in the climate/environment of the virtual island matches how your real-life actions like driving, riding bikes, taking public transportation, etc. impacts the world. The level of environmental damages are, of course, scientifically scaled-up so that your impact on your mini-world reflects the entire human population's impact on the Earth.

So, you'll be able to see how your 15-minute drives to dinner or weekend road trips impact the environment through the changes that are going on on your own virtual island.  It can be pretty surprising!  

FEATURES:

• Purchase trees and a variety of other decorations to customize your island
• See how the vegetation, animal behaviors, and even the skybox changes according to different temperatures and pollution levels
• Have your traveling activities tracked and see how your real-life trips impact the weather, climate, and, of course, the environment
• Interact with the cute little critters that pull up to your island
• Explore the enjoy all the hidden features of the beautiful and fully-interactive island 
• Earn [Green Tokens] by traveling greenly
• Unveil the mysterious future of your island -- what happens when we run out of energy? 

CONTROLS:

• Camera pans and zooms with double-touch (two fingers)
