Gut Guardian Game
Role: Creative Director • Designer • Copywriter
Production Company: Studio Rx
To show the possibilities of gaming my team & I set out to create a unique educational adventure with "Gut Guardian," a game inspired by the classic "Fruit Ninja" but with a twist! In this re-imagined version, kids slice and dice through hordes of colorful microbes instead of fruits, engaging in a fun and interactive way to learn about the fascinating world of the human microbiome. By slicing the harmful microbes and sparing the good ones, players learn the basics of how the microbiome functions and why it is essential for our health.
With vibrant kid-friendly characters by Hannah Cunningham, sound effects, and educational tidbits sprinkled throughout the gameplay, "Gut Guardian" provides an entertaining platform for players to grasp the concept of the human microbiome while indulging their love of games.
