Did your team create most/all of the graphics yourselves?
yes

Did your team create most of/all the audio yourselves?
yes

How did you incorporate the theme "UNSTABLE"?
my idea is that you control a shield that controls a uranium-235 atom from fast neutrons. Because uranium are unstable, if they absorb a neutron, a chain reaction may occur.

It's easy to understand and a good interpretation of the theme. It could use some touch-ups to the visuals and collision detection, but overall it's good. Nice work!

Fun to play. I think the bar could move a bit slower as it's a bit hard to be precise. With some polishing on the graphics and feebacks when getting touched or shielding the core, the game would be really nice. Also the particules when a neutron is destroyed stays a bit too long on the screen making it difficult to read what is happening.
Overall good concept and fun to play.

It's funny that you thought of nuclear fission to fit the "unstable" theme! The game is fun to play, even if it's a little hard for me. The graphics are good, too, but they could have been more detailed (an explosion animation at the end of the game or a more detailed representation of the atom, for example).

thanks for the comments, I appreciate. I agree about the graphics: i had planned to use sprite instead of basic textures but went out of time. Definitely the game could have more polished (sounds, more animation) and also a bit more gameplay. I was thinking to add bonuses like greater shield, etc …

Anyway I appreciate you took the time to try it.
