I was recently introduced to The Critterverse. What is Critterverse? It's a silly, cute and kid-safe online game with adorable critters developed by Charlie Jackson. He thought, "Why not try to make the world a better place with games? So many great indies have made games to make people think or make people feel strong emotions, and there have been education games forever... Why not make a game to help conquer bullying?"
The Adventures of Rubberkid is a colorful, cute game for elementary school children. The aim of the game is to show the player the consequences of bullying and Rubberkid needs your help! Each level focuses on helping a particular child (or children). Once helped, the player gets to see more info about them. The most important being "What Would Have Been" if the bullies continued and "But Since You Helped", what they'll do with their life. This clearly demonstrates the terrifying results of bullying! There are some fantastic rewards for helping out, and if it's funded enough, the game can become two games, a children's book AND a comic!
The website states that it is best viewed with Google Chrome. The point of the game is to help conquer bullying and is completely FREE. Instead of charging people to play it, it's being funded with Kickstarter. For more info about the game and the anti-bullying project, visit www.thecritterverse.com.
