Gut microbes battle – fight bad microbes

The microbes in our gut are both our helpers and possible enemies.

In this game you get the idea about this important and complicated microbiome by playing an attractive game in 3D virtual reality.

This is a kind of a stealth game.You are represented in this 3D world as an avatar finding yourself in the cross section of the gut with mouth somewhere above you (not visible). So the food transport occurs from top to bottom and you soon encounter e.g. a cucumber that lands on your level and small bears (=healthy food particles) start to march out of it to the gut wall having for their goal the factory which denotes the metabolism and biosynthesis. There they enable the creation of the elephants - macrophages - which jump towards you and circle around you in order to protect you. You have also another way of getting your protection. If you bump into the good food that has descended, bunnies come out of it. They stand for antibodies killing the evil antigens just like the macrophages also kill the antigens. However when you bump into bad food the antigens (small white combatants) emerge and start to shoot around. The antigens come also out of the harmful food or bacteria you swallowed - denoted here by the battle bus. There is also a capsule landing and out of it come the strange looking antibiotics with three legs. They also stand on your side, but beware of the toxins - robots - which after seeing you they run after you and shoot deadly shots at you.

If you know something (try my BioanimComplete to increase the knowledge) about biology, you can easily fill your health back to 100% by bumping into the correct quiz object. There are alwqays 3 quiz objects in a row and if you walk or run into one, all three diasappear, but in case you hit the correct object, your health reaches the maximal level and on your back a yellow skateboard appears. If you hit a wrong object, you lose 5 points of your health. Correct objects are those that are meaningfully related to health or healthy digestion or cellular digestion.
