How did you incorporate the theme "UNSTABLE"?
You must defend your nuclear reactor from having its rods stolen by the creatures. If all the rods are stolen, the reactor becomes unstable and you lose!

Graphically and mechanically interesting, sfx and music (when the radio is on) are fine. Doesn't run particularly well in the web browser for me, but perhaps that's to be expected with the light usage and all. Maybe a quality toggle would be good?
Dude great job ! i love the vibe, I loved the creatures and animations. It got me hooked runing around and shooting those monsters :D It was starting to get a bit too easy though, until it got dark ahahha I lost some rods there those cheeky bastards made the best of it. Felt like a retro arcade shooter. Really nice.
Really cool vibe and atmosphere! I like the reactor concept, especially since mine is also based around one, and how the rods tie into the theme. I did find it a bit too easy though. I survived for 8+ minutes by just staying near the reactor and focusing on the monsters. I never really had to worry about fixing the oxygen or anything else, and in the worst case I could just focus on protecting a single rod. Maybe I triggered a bug or something, and it’s intended to force the player to move around and manage the other systems more. Really nice concept nonetheless!
