interesting concept

I had so much fun playing this game!

Art is cool but not a fan of the music and the lack of danger is huge :x I can sit in a corner of the map without being much in danger, that's a problem :/

Pretty neat concept! Loved the reference to 'unstable elements' and decay chains. The gameplay was a bit standard for the genre, would have liked to see some more mechanics introduced as the decay chain progressed. Still, it's short and fun. Loved the main menu screen as well, very detailed and atmospheric artwork.

Ooh, clever take on the theme! Like others have said the gameplay feels like it could definitely be more complex, but I enjoyed the concept behind the game. The art is also nice, especially on the main menu and the background reactor! Well done!

Loved the decay chain premise, plus the graphics were very consistent and pleasantly eerie :) The gameplay was a bit mundane, plus it took a few tries to figure out the rules, so a little more clarity (through gui or instructions) would have been helpful. Nice take on the theme!!

In general, everything is clear and understandable in the gameplay, I don't even know what you can cling to...

The tune at the level is quite annoying, but it turned out to be unobtrusive, as for me this is a plus+

In terms of complexity, the game is also not annoying at all. In general, to sit down and relax for 5 minutes is the most...

I love the concept, the idea of an unstable atom is really interesting and including the chains in a way of sort of levelling up the atom. My biggest criticism is that it was actually quite hard to grow as an atom. I would've loved it if the spawn rate of the alpha and beta particles would've been much higher, so that there was less waiting around for them. I spent a lot of the game just waiting for the particles to appear, and then missing them due to the somewhat unavoidable hand. I liked how you incorporated the noise of a geiger counter in the game, and even if the main music loop was repetitive, it was better than no music.

good art and music, you can get stuck

Красивый пиксель арт, меню, немного приставучая мелодия, слегка приедается. Геймплей конечно обыденный, типичный представитель жанра, но в целом мое уважение за проделанную в одиночку работу, это классно

➕ приятная графика

➕ хороший баланс

➕ полезные отсылки к реальной науке

➖ нет тематических механик

➖ перчатка не в тему

➖ казалось что уровней больше чем в итоге оказалось

⚡быстрая правка⚡: сделать несколько уровней с тем же форматом и более быстрой скоростью

The title page art was really great! It instantly got me excited to play. The music on the title page was fine, but once in the game it repeated too quickly and the Geiger noise was a little rough on the ears.

It took me a few plays to understand what I was trying to collect and trying to avoid. Once I saw the decay chain, I got excited for the game to progress more. It disappeared pretty quickly though, and I didn't get a chance to study it until after I was RA.

This was a pretty cool entry! Thanks!
