Save the Fish
During a week at Beta Masters, campers use Construct 3 to develop video games themed around important issues connected to the Sustainable Development Goals.
In this example, the player must use the arrow keys to move the fish around, collecting coins to score points. Collect 35 coins to win, but watch out — swim into the factories or their pollution spills and you’ll have to start over!
