[DEATH eVADER]

HalfLife is a clever play on words

half-life: n. time taken for half the atoms in radioactive material to decay

half-life: game- time taken for the player to finish the game with half of his life left

The game features radioactive material, although i haven't seen radioactive materials in the second game at the moment
