This game is created in order to increase the chances of landing on “Challenge” to maximize the learning opportunities.

Reflection
Through making this game, I have learnt different types of negative impact and even crisis human activities had led to ocean. I also realized how to convey the message of global warming in a fun and interactive medium which I found so satisfying. Being interested in science and technology, I decided not only to raise awareness for ocean pollution, but also to share the game players scientific information in an interesting way. I have truly enjoyed myself when creating this game and hope to further my research in order to strengthen my voice in ocean conservation.
