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.

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!

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 :)

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.

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!
