About the Game

An alien caterpillar  whose biology requires radiation for growth and survival. Luckily, your home planet is literally saturated with this dangerous yet vital resource. Your goal is to navigate challenging levels, collect radioactive elements, and grow, but be careful: the larger you get, the harder it is to maneuver!

FEATURES

  • 40 unique levels — from simple tutorials to mind-bending and extremely challenging

  • 40 achievements — rewards for skill, speed, and creative thinking

  • Dynamic physics — realistic interaction with the environment

  • Progressive difficulty — each level introduces new mechanics and challenges

  • Minimalistic yet atmospheric graphics — focus on gameplay and physics

CHALLENGES

  • Be careful with growth! An oversized track can get stuck in narrow passages.

  • Self-entanglement - if you don't watch your trajectory, you can wrap yourself around yourself and block your progress.

  • Dangerous traps - saws and spikes instantly destroy you.

  • Unstable platforms - they collapse under weight, requiring quick reactions.

  • Constrained space - sometimes you need to shrink to move forward.
