Kawaida's Journey is an ambitious mobile game project, in which you experience the spirit of east african environment and culture. It is a classic 2D jump and run game like Mario. But it is more than that - it's an intercultural project! In building the game we work hand in hand with tanzanian artists and non-governmental organizations. So let us overcome cultural boundaries via the thing we all share passion for - games.
A small fishing village surrounded by palm trees in the south of Zanzibar. The little monkey ”Kawaida“ awakes in his cabin after having an impressive dream in which he met his parents for the first time. Driven by the emotional questions: ”WHERE DO I COME FROM?“ and ”WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO BE HOME?“ he takes the first step of an adventure to find his family - together with you.
His odyssey leads him over sandy beaches, through villages and mangrove-forests on Zanzibar, through the mysterious worlds of the Indian Ocean, alongside the crowded city life of Stone Town and Dar Es Salaam up to the wide East African bush savanna. Jump and run past dangerous animals and obstacles, equipped with continuously improving skills and items, accompanied all the way by the bouncing beats of East African music (2D platformer).
