Hello Atoms!
I have some massive news to share with you all today.
The official Unstable Nuclear Reactor Demo has officially cleared Steam's review process and is completely approved for release! All three green lights are lit, and the countdown has officially begun.
📅 Official Demo Release Date: Monday, June 22, 2026
🔬 Features Included in the Demo:
Combo Chain Reactions: The baseline puzzle mechanics allowing you to drop elements, trigger atomic combinations, and watch high-scoring combo chain reactions ripple across the hex grid.
Grid Expansion Loops: Progress through the board by achieving a targeted number of element merges to unlock new outer rings and expand your building area.
Skill Tree Progression: Earn points from your successful merges to upgrade your reactor systems and unlock permanent tools to help manage the grid and control higher-tier element combos.
Roguelite Mechanics: Push your reactor to its limits in run-based gameplay where you adapt to escalating difficulty, test different upgrade paths, and see how long you can survive.
