Kernel Quest
A simple, side scrolling style game developed as part of a marketing campaign for the National Corn Growers Association.
Project Overview
“KernelQuest is a game of skill, maneuverability, and all-around corniness. Join Captain Cornelius, our a-maize-ing superhero in green spandex, as he defies gravity and weaves his way through Corn Country. Just don’t get creamed… Beware the mob of cobs! Set a new high score, challenge friends, and learn corny facts along the way. This game is brought to you by the National Corn Growers Association.”
Enliven teamed up with the agricultural advertising agency AdFarm to work on one of their corniest projects ever. The National Corn Growers Association (NCGA) and AdFarm published the 2014 World of Corn Comic book Captain Cornelius: Corn Day Celebration, a marketing campaign for children which celebrates corn and educates youngsters on corn’s important role in our everyday communities. As an extension of this campaign, I created a simple, side scrolling style iOS game featuring Captain Cornelius flying through the corn fields of Missouri.
Business Outcomes
Expanded the audience reach of the Captain Cornelius marketing campaign.
Grew interest in the non-profit through game demonstrations at various agricultural trade shows.
