Our game is about rescuing animals; and learning the facts of animal cruelty and pet care! We use interactive fact screens and trivia questions to do so. The game is simply point and click; and some drag and drop. You will play as Madii, a member of the WV Animal Rescue Squad. The game and rescue process can be completed in the following order: Answering a rescue call; saving and picking up the animal; nursing it back to health with the help of Nurse Celia; and delivering it to a new happy home. In the end; there is an added screen for fun, The Animal Boutique. You may use drag and drop methods to dress up your pet using the different outfits. There are three different animals throughout the course of the entire game, and the facts change each time! The overall objective is to have fun, but learn about the way animals should be properly taken care of.
