Apps · Pequi BLA
Defend the state parks of Goiás.
Villains drop from the sky to burn, fell and mine the Cerrado. Pequi needs your help to defend the parks of Goiás: hold your finger, shoot spikes. Every hit plants the vegetation back as a green sprout.
what it is
A Brazilian arcade to defend the Cerrado.
Villains fall from the sky to attack real places in the Cerrado of Goiás. Five state parks, each with its own scene. You and Pequi against mining, fire and deforestation, each with three threat levels.
You control Pequi. Each villain neutralized becomes a green sprout.
five real parks
Pireneus, Terra Ronca, Serra Dourada, Caldas Novas, Altamiro.
The five state parks of Goiás defended in Cerrado mode are real places. Each becomes a stage with its own background color, colored band and atmospheric effect.
02
Terra Ronca
Terra Ronca State Park
A cave system in northeastern Goiás, in São Domingos. Underground rivers form one of the largest caves in the country.
03
Serra Dourada
Serra Dourada State Park
Quartzite formations near Goiás Velho. Cerrado preserved at altitude, natural overlooks and regional water recharge.
04
Serra de Caldas Novas
Serra de Caldas Novas State Park
Hot springs and native Cerrado in south-central Goiás. An underground reservoir of one of the largest hydrothermal complexes in the country.
05
Altamiro
Altamiro de Moura Pacheco State Park
Seasonal forest and Cerrado around Goiânia. The capital green lung, with trails, overlooks and wildlife that resists urban pressure.
three threat categories
Mining, fire and deforestation.
The villains are not invented monsters. Each one stands for a real threat to the Cerrado. Three sizes per category: small, medium and boss. The boss takes multiple hits to fall.
01
Mining
Hammer, shovel and the Illegal Mine.
02
Fire
Match, burning wood and the Great Wildfire.
03
Deforestation
Handsaw, chainsaw and the Great Clear-cut.
two modes
Cerrado mode and Infinite mode.
01
Cerrado mode
Twenty-five sequential stages, five parks, five levels. A stage only ends when the screen is clear, so letting a boss slip past costs you. The park health carries from one stage to the next, and each sprout recovers a little of it. Each level adds one more boss.
02
Infinite mode
Defending all five parks at once. Each park has its own health. A boss every minute, fixed rotation of mine, fire, tractor. The scene rotates to the most threatened park every fifteen seconds.
what playing is like
Ten scenes from the app.
The home with the parks, the boss in sight, the fact that comes out of the chest, the park medal, the Cerrado guide, the scenes. Editorial monospaced type in the HUD, the park band color at the foot, golden scoring.
how it behaves
Infinite spikes. Finite park health.
- · Press and hold: Pequi shoots spikes nonstop while your finger is down.
- · Infinite spikes: the scarce resource is the park health, not the ammo.
- · The park health carries from one stage to the next, and each sprout recovers a little of it.
- · Five distinct scenes with their own atmospheres.
- · Real facts about each park, with a source, revealed when you beat the bosses.
- · A Cerrado guide that fills up as you play, with the source of each fact.
- · A medal for each park defended from the three threats.
- · Works offline.
why it exists
Because the Cerrado needs people who care.
The Cerrado is the second largest biome in Brazil and the most threatened in South America. Goiás has several state parks that protect important fragments of this Cerrado, from the Serra dos Pireneus to the hot springs of Caldas Novas, from the Terra Ronca cave to the quartzites of Serra Dourada.
Pequi BLA is a Brazilian arcade that puts the player in the role of defender. It is not a simulation, not an educational game in the school sense. It is pure arcade, with a clear mechanic and an editorial look, in honor of a biome that needs people to defend it.
who makes it
Pequi BLA is an app Developed in Goiânia 🇧🇷 by BLA Publicações e Conteúdo Digital, an independent editorial studio directed by Ivan Grycuk.
