Uranium-236



What's so difficult about maintaining an uncontrollable nuclear fission reaction?


Controls:

- Mouse: click and hold to drag an energy field that deflects particles. Be careful, everything is unstable!

Goal:

- Generate as much energy as you can by keeping the reactor as hot as possible, for as long as possible.
- Neutrons will cause chain reactions with the core and increase the temperature.
- Antineutrinos will destroy neutrinos and cool down the core.
- The core also cools down over time.
- The game ends when the reactor freezes or blows up.

Uranium-236 was supposed to be a game about realistic nuclear fission and trying to handle the uncontrollable chain reactions, but the game went into a bit different direction. And yeah, I ran out of time and I know that the math is terrible for how the generator works. :smile:

Enjoy the game!

Post submission change log:

- v1.1: Fix a bug with touch listener preventing player from pressing "Play Again".
- v1.2: Fix a bug with neutron cannons reaching "infinite fire rate" and flooding the reactor with antineutrons. Now capped at 1.5s +/- 1s.
