Uranium Wand

The theme of Jame Gam #42 was Decay; I decided to interpret it as radioactive decay. Another requirement of the jam was for the game to prominently feature a Wand.

In this game, you play as a scientist who has to guard a radioactive wand from mutants who are fascinated by it. Survive until the time runs out and you win the game. But the mutants, areas of the level, even the wand itself - all keep irradiating the scientist! You must balance using the wand and running away, or the whole level will become a radioactive wasteland.
