How to kill your grandparents by Arcus
A shooter, where you have to fight a massive boss - your grandfather.
After inventing the time machine (I can only assume by googling it) you take your conviniently enhanced body to face off against him.
The three different guns would have had different features, but oops ran out of time.

Staying true to your style. I think I could instantly spot a game that you made. Music is lovely graphics, are presentable. Your balancing has passed my auto clicker stress test.
I found it a little confusing in the beginning. I didn't understand that I am in a "menu" and that I need to step on the time machine text. I thought this was some sort of tutorial screen and the time machine was an UI element.
I was planing on fixing the startup menu to be more clicker based, but something broke along the way, and I went to fix that, and then more things broke, so eventualy I decided that a menu was less important than getting the entire game to be functional. Might make a post-jam version in the next few weeks with the bits that I wanted to add in, but never got round to.

* have gold be a reward for fighting, like it drop over time or by damage or both. so you have a reason to fight even when you can't win.
* make the collision more forgiving, because sometimes it looks like you took damage even though you dodged the bullet.
* and more juice! Like particles, sfx, frozen frames etc.
Also the music is pretty good!
The game itself isn't that hard. it could be nice to add some attack patterns to the Grand father.
Nonetheless, I had fun playing this game!
Other than the health being too high the mechanic was interesting that you are supposed to die. The music was great and the art was nice too.
