You could easily make this a full game. Go full cartoon whacky. After the night shift the scientist starts seeing criticality reactions everywhere:
A level involving traffic and traffic accidents.
A level involving people eating and digestion.
A level involving fires.
A level involving the spread of disease.
A level involving weather.
It goes on and on. Look to games like Katamari Damarci for the kind of whacky you may want to go for. Look to how people model disease outbreaks and how crowds react to building fires for real world inspiration.
when i try launching web version i get an error: "abort(CompileError: WebAssembly.instantiate(): section (code 10, "Code" extends past end of the module (length 40616750, remaining bytes 8814544) @+856286) at Error". It continues on, but I didn't want to manually copy it all cuz i can't copy and paste in the error
thank you so much for adding a 'keep playing' button theres so many games that would be so fun to play but have a hard end for it
only thing i think might be cool to add if you wanted to take the game farther is some upgrade that doesnt have a cap like "When a neutron hits an atom, have a 5% chance to get +10% of the score you would normally get."
Fun little game, the progression is a bit slow at the start and then explodes at the end, even the progression itself stays on theme with the concept :P
Got the hang of this and played it and now i really want to see this as a full thing somehow like i got addicted to this for a little bit like this is really really fun
cleared in 25 minutes, this game is very cool and i like the sound design and visual effects, especially for the rankups, a neat game with a very cool concept.
The rank up animation triggers a deep memory of being a small particle vibrating with the force of the universe. 10/10, didnt know I liked being anxious about balls bouncing into blackholes.

29:26 love the game. Fun little go through over nuclear reactor basics.😃
May I suggest, in the future, adding a "delete save" button to allow players to start over from the beginning?
There is a delete save button on the end scene. The full game will have a proper menu.
I'm not sure how I didn't notice that before.
12:02 honestly very fun even if not for that long and you have so much more potential with this.
Keep up the great work :D
33:12 critical time

probably server problems. try the download version
Love this!
In the future, you may want to reconsider having white text with no drop shadow on a beige background.
Brilliant game to Slotin to my day.
This was so good and now I'm angry because I can't think of a way to follow it up
I clicked to continue playing after beating the game. Now I cannot reset my progress to play from scratch
just beat the game again and the option will reappear
Damn satisfying.
are you going to keep working on this and fully release it?
yep
increasing atom size also increases the size of the black holes which means increasing atom size becomes a bad thing after a few upgrades
also makes them easier to click on so evens out
plus they look goofy small next to large atoms
