Oops! There Goes the Time Link

Play as two versions of the same time-traveller, who have caused a rift in time and must fix their time machine to save the day.

The younger scientist needs to shoot enemies, who will drop healthpacks and time machine components. The older scientist can then pick up the components and place them into the machine.

As you get closer together, more portals will open and enemies will spawn faster, letting you complete the game quicker but making it a lot harder.

Controls:

• WASD: Move
• Space: switch character.
• Younger scientist: mouse to aim, LMB to shoot.
• Older scientist: click and drag nearby cogs to move them.
• ESC: Pause.
• R: restart

Notes/TO DO.

This was my first jam, and thanks to the pressure of submission the first game I've been able to say is "completed". That said, there are things which I meant to add in but never got around to. The following will hopefully be present in a post-jam version.

• Time limit which can be extended using pickups.
• Music and more sound effects.
• Finishing off the artwork for bullets and portals, overall improved art.
• High score based on time player was able to beat the level.
• Different powerups/weapons.
• Visualise the link between the characters.
