Dysbiosis
Tags for Dysbiosis
Description
Dysbiosis is an intestinal-tract based shoot-'em-up supported by Wellcome Trust as the winning entry into their "Gamify Your PhD" game jam event.
The intestine is a safe haven for trillions of good bacteria that live in symbiosis with it. They form a delicate community, known as the intestinal microflora. Changes to the intestinal microflora - such as the expansion of bad bacteria or the loss of essential good bacteria - are called Dysbiosis.
Fire antimicrobial peptides from the intestinal cell wall at oncoming bacteria. Use antibiotics and absorb vitamins. Maintain a healthy balance inside the gut!
Features:
- 3 game chapters -- Healthy, Inflamed & IBD/Crohn's Disease.
- 3 enemy types -- E-coli, Salmonella & Campylobacter.
- Play with Keyboard, Mouse or Game Controller.

This is a good game, needs more levels though. 5/5

Nice idea, and i like the little explanations at the end but the game play is much to fast initially. It would be nice if healthy already had a mucus layer provided by good bacteria to start, and only inflamed or disease states had that stripped away.

just like being in the arcade in the 80s. only problem is your death mechanic kinda sucks. once you lose, well, it seems like that's it. you lose the ability to shoot from that row so you're just gonna keep get pummeled there and eventually die. or am i missing something?

Use antibiotics! Right click or hit the up arrow key. Letting through good bacteria (green) will also repair a damaged breach in the cell wall.
