Meet Me at the Present

Two time travellers ("We") converge upon the present ("Now"), the exact moment that a catastrophe can be averted. One is limited to the green and pleasant past, the other limited to the red and chaotic future. The playfield has time as the x axis, and each traveller shows their current time over their head. A weird symbol in each time period is chasing the traveller there. Arrow keys to move, space bar to switch between travellers.
