Microbiome
Fly through the gut — a living microbial ecosystem you keep in balance. A ring follows your cursor (or finger): line it up with the good microbes and fibres rushing toward you, and steer clear of the red harmful bacteria that tip the gut into dysbiosis.
Probioticslive microbes — catch them to lift the balance
Prebioticsthe fibre that feeds them — catch one just after a microbe for a synbiotic bonus
Postbioticsuseful by-products — sweep them up for bonus points
Harmful bacteria (avoid)red ones like Salmonella or C. difficile — hit one and the balance tips toward dysbiosis
Aim with your mouse, a touch-drag, or WASD / arrow keys · keep the balance bar out of the red

This run needs WebGL. The science is still readable in the write-up, where the four biotic families and the microbe library are described in full.
