The idea to teach about some concept through the game is interesting. Although I don’t think it needed rage-game controls (as in, control each individual finger), click to hold would be enough. And WASD could be dedicated to movement.
Kinda disappointed that the thing doesn’t explode if you fully remove the control rods.
Also, not sure how the game conforms to the theme, maybe nuclear fission may be viewed as a sort of alchemy, idk.
