Should you get a game over if you still have radioactive elements on the board? I think you should still be allowed to keep going, especially since you have less tiles and you are moving around with the assumption that things are going to start disappearing.

I don't think so. A move in 2048-like games is only a move if some pieces actually, well, move. If the board is full, there are no valid moves left, and any radioactive elements can never decay.

Right, it's only 2048-like. I think it being a derivative of 2048 doesn't mean it has to follow all the same rules. Anyways, I assumed the smaller grid was because you had the ability to wait for things to decay if you filled up the grid. It's merely what I was expecting, but maybe no one else feels the same way.

That was my expectation too.
