How does your game fit the theme?
The player plays as two versions of the same time-traveller. As the players get closer together, more wormholes open to spawn enemies. Also, damage/healing taken by the younger character is applied to the other.

@erodohet good concept, it was a bit hard for me to survive ^^! but anyways great job :)
I liked this game although I didn't quite get why sometimes putting a cog against the machine counted and sometimes it didn't. The idea of having more enemies the closer the scientists get together was interesting and having the younger self share damage/healing with the older but not the other way around was nice as well.
This game has some pretty cool ideas, but it's pretty hard too 😅
I found a little hard to manage both characters at same time. But good job, not easy to finish a game in 48h
Really good execution, looks great but a bit hard. Maybe let the player win for a bit before throwing so many enemies at them.
Thanks for your feedback! Totally, I feel like there is some balancing to do still; I tried to have the difficulity be somewhat set by the player (moving characters further and closer makes enemies spawn faster or slower) but I think this could be a little clearer!
cool idea and concept, but i felt it is a bit too difficult to survive. but anyhow good job!
Very cool idea! I struggled a bit to keep the old scientist safe xD
Love the art and idea is also cool. It is also pretty hard imho. If the arena was a bit bigger with some hiding spots that would solve the "no place to hide" issue. Overall it is nice game.
Thanks for playing and the feedback - yes that’s a great point, the level setup definitely needs some thought. Hiding spots are something I wanted to explore but sadly didn’t quite have the time to figure out how to make them balanced in such a way that you could just plonk a character there and forget about him! Thanks again for your feedback :)
i like the idea and i think it has potential, but for me the game a bit too hard to figure out and play. i think the range of telekinesis is too short, which led me having to stagger around with the gear whilst also having to dodge bullets that can destroy the gear too. i like the idea of there being lots more enemies when closer together, but maybe you could show when enemies are going to spawn so that i could plan out what to do in advance. overall, it's an interesting game :)
Thanks so much! Yeah, I definitely need to add some better help text; I think given more time I would have tried to make the first part of the level be a bit of an ‘interactive tutorial’ and also add some feedback to the player’s characters getting further/close to emphasise what effects that was having on the enemies! Thanks again for your feedback :)
i realy liked the idea of the game, of having 2 charackters at once on the screen
Ohh......dammit. Can you believe I didn't manage to understand how the machine components in place? As I move them next to the central machine, there's sometimes a sound effect playing, but on the top right corner, only the first symbol becomes checked, while the others (no matter how many clogs I put next to the machines) stayed X.
Yet, something kept me playing! There's something here :D
Challenging enough, I managed to win after several tries (10+). The enemy's "bullets" going thru the edge of the time machine drove me nuts (bug?). Frustating but yet fun to play, nicely done.
Really fun, great mechanics and visuals.
I really like the art style! Good job on that!
The character design is great! And it is pretty fluid switching between the characters. It took me a bit to figure out how to use the old man! Great game :)
The concept is original and the game looks great too. But to me it was too hard to play before I could even figure out what the other character is supposed to do.
The game lacks a soundtrack which could've been really nice. Also the sounds effects are quite cool.
Good Job for finishing the game on time!
Good luck!
