Did your team create most/all of the graphics yourselves?
Yes — every visual asset (bottles, glass, liquid, explosion particles, UI) is procedurally generated in code at runtime. No imported images or sprites were used.

Did your team create most of/all the audio yourselves?
Yes — all audio (bubbling ambience, explosion sound, background music) is generated procedurally in code at runtime. No imported audio files were used.

How did you incorporate the theme "UNSTABLE"?
The core mechanic is a mixture that becomes increasingly unstable with every action: each reagent you pour pushes you toward the target formula but also raises an instability needle, which also climbs on its own once you start. Reaching 100 causes an explosion and a loss. The player must balance progress against instability across 7 increasingly volatile batches, each adding new unstable elements (random-swing reagents, self-accelerating instability, mean-reverting tremor). The project itself was even titled "Unstable" during development before being renamed to Critical Mix.
