Really go into this one. Reminded me of that black hole game a bit. It was a little unclear in the beginning that the protective shield needed to be broken to collect the goodies, I initially thought the targets were breaking it but it’s just that I was aiming at the ones up close afraid they were gonna hurt me. Then later I realised the “shield” was essentially a timer and not affected by damage. Anyway this was great!

Thanks!
The protective shield on the atoms is actually the electrons orbiting the nucleus (yes I know the Bohr model is outdated but I wasn't going to implement quantum mechanics and electron clouds!)
As for the "shield" timer, it was originally called "time", but since it depletes faster on higher levels it didn't make sense. In hindsight I probably should have called it "energy" to make it clearer that it wasn't depleting from taking damage.
