story: A game with an important message

Not all games are for fun only, some do contain sublime messages useful on day-to-day education of all users, young and old.

RMF Games wanted to create a game with a strong useful message, focused on the playability and with a graphical approach that would allow to be pleasant to both young and old.

Being the water one of the most critical resources in our world, in our body, and for our survival as a specie, its something we all should take great care. Never the less, because there is so much and apparently everywhere, its hard to make people aware that we need to save every possible water drop.
This principal was our main driver for the game.

"Saying it is usually not enough so we decided to put in in a game" says Rui Figueiredo, the creator of the game.

Make a billboard saying 'Save water' and no one cares or even remember reading it after a few minutes, but play a game for hours where the goal, the mission, the objective is to save water to save the world and that message stays within the player conscience and sub-conscience.

Doodle Rain HD (for the iPad) and Doodle Rain SD (for the iPhone and iPod touch) are the two released versions of this puzzle style game that will make the player go through 30 challenging levels where the single goal is to gather water from the rain in a world where water as become rare and scarce.

At the player disposal, there are some basic day-to-day objects like an umbrella, a funnel, between others.
The player needs to use those objects to gather and drive the raindrops that fall from the sky to the only water deposit.

To make progress harder, levels get more complex and some visitors show up like helicopters and ufo's that are also trying to gather water to take back to their own worlds. This game elements bring the "action" to the game as the player, needs to eliminate those visitors while keeping gathering all water possible.

The world is in a mission to save the water and to collect as much raindrops as possible.
With just a couple of weeks of being released, both games hit the tops on multiple countries in the categories Puzzle and Educational.

Doodle Rain HD is in the Top 100 of 40 countries, Top 10 in 5 countries and Top 5 in 1 country.
Doodle Rain SD is in the Top 100 of 35 countries, Top 10 in 13 countries and Top 5 in 5 countries.
