WARNING: This game is 8MB, please be patient if loading takes a while, we did not make a preloader!

"In a world filled with dangerous radiation, an enormous pile of lead is all that can save you."

Instructions: WASD/Arrows for movement. If it isn't clear, the upper left number is your time left, the upper right is your score. If you want to replay the ingame tutorial: refresh the game's webpage.

Some levels might be a bit hard, but learning is half the fun in this classic platforming game!

This is our first ever finished game! Thanks Ludum Dare community for everything, this competition is amazing! Special thanks to my dad and Villermen's parents for making this project possible.

Be sure to share highscores in the comments! :D

EDIT: There is no winning condition, JUST MORE RADIATION (and lead to eat, because come on: we all know you're eating it)

I liked it. *gives stamp of approval*

That was a fine game.
The subtle touches such as the screen getting green when you're about to die were pretty good, and the level design was excellently difficult.

Adding random level portions is a nice take. I almost thought the timer was not working at the beginning until I realized it was a tutorial. Nice work on the game!

I really enjoyed this game, the concept was very cool with dying prom radiation. Collecting those circles was my main goal and I wanted to get them badly. Very interesting music, sounded like a loop but was cool similar to TMNT. Overall 4 stars!

Yeah, really like the randomization! Also I am bad at living. :-D

Not shabby. A bit depressing that you can't win though. I feel fated to fail.

Sadly enough we didn't really have any good idea's for an end condition, nor did we have time left to work on one. I agree that the timer on its own isn't very fulfilling.

Nice idea and design. And I like the oldskool "chip tune"!

Great game, a bit simple graphics but not that bad. :)

The controls could be better, but it's really fun to play. Great level design! My record was 109 seconds. =)

I love the random level design.

Random level generation is good and seamless, and the game does not become simpler just because you know them all. I liked it!

Audio didn't work for me unfortunately, I liked the atmosphere of the game.

This was great, its very tough to do decent random generation - but you managed it amazingly!
