Radiance ☢️ This is a pixel-art survival game about the physics of radiation protection. You're a nuclear medicine technologist in a hot lab. Alpha, beta, gamma sources appear around the room. Survive as long as you can before reaching the annual dose limit. Your tools are the three principles of radiation safety: time, distance, shielding. But lead is heavy. Put on a shield and you absorb less, but you move slower, so keeping your distance gets harder. And in a beta field, shield actually backfires. The particles generate bremsstrahlung X-rays and turn your protection into a secondary source. Knowing when to wear it is the game. Sources decay on real relative timescales. You can hide and wait for F-18 to decay. But a Cs-137 spill will outlive you. Grab a lead pig and contain it, if you can afford the dose it costs to get closer. The game is best experienced on a desktop. It may also work well on mobile devices in landscape orientation. If it helps the player un
