Are you a fan of resource management games? Ever wondered how it feels to raise an adorable and not at all excessively needy plutonium rod? If so, look no further, Nuclear Family is the game for you. Nuclear Family is a game created for Ludum Dare #46, to correspond with the theme of “Keep it Alive”. In this game you’ll need to keep your wits about you as you raise these adorably anthropomorphised mutagenic rods in a battle to keep them alive. Your role in a power-plant consists of three tasks: Feeding the rods, cooling the rods and, once they’ve hit maturity, allowing them to fulfil their lifelong goal of powering the nearby city.
Best of luck Operator!

Awesome sounds and animations XD Character rotation is also a thing. Dunno why, but after the launch of the game SteamVR is trying to get the update. Probably Unreal-ish thing.
Shame that the water in the container doesn't refill!
Hi! Nice work! I want to make a video with the best games of LDJam46. Something like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aOdTsWE7iIk . Can I find your game also on indiexpo website? The channel is linked with them.
When I first downloaded the game I didn't expect much tbh, however the moment I saw the SLAP I realized that I was wrong. really funny and fun game with some sound effects that make it even funnier.
The art and sounds are awesome in this! Everything has a ton of character and it controls pretty great. The slapping was a cute touch, it's very satisfying. Because the specific food items appear randomly on the food machine it's a little hard to match the correct food for the fuel rods. But overall this is a really cute and well done entry.
Really top artstyle and pixel art! The sound effects and the slap mechanics gave me a great laugh as well. Such a crazy idea for sure! Overall a great game and awesome execution. Wish you good luck and please continue working on it!
Nice sprite work. A little tough to understand what the various parts of the machine were doing. Loved the natural sound effects and slap humour though. Good job!

Can you compile for Mac or HTML? If you can I'll be able to give it a try, but cant at the moment because I don't have windows :(
