Radiation - A Scrolling Platformer by @KIKOKO_
Radiation is an atmospheric scrolling platformer inspired by the Chernobyl accident. You play as a worker wearing a protective suit, navigating through highly contaminated areas. The radiation is penetrating your suit—you must reach the evacuation helicopter before it's too late. This game is an artistic interpretation, not a political statement; the developer acknowledges nuclear power as a viable energy source.
