BE SURE TO READ DESCRIPTION BEFORE PLAYING!
This is RetroScape. If you're a fan of portal, you'll love this game.
As you traverse through your space ship, you must unlock each door to get to the next room. How do you unlock these doors? Well, in order to solve each puzzle, you realize you must go back in time to look for clues, get past debris, air holes, and many more obstacles. You must use your rewind ability, watch your oxygen levels, and health simultaneously as you try to solve our puzzles.
CONTROLS:
WASD - Movement
E - Interactables
Q - Rewind
TIPS:
A lot of things in the game are interactable, which includes the following:
Buttons | Switches | Turret Switches | Cubes | Symbols | Oxygen & Health Packs
When you use your rewind ability, after moving in the past you teleport back to your original position in the present. This is key to solving some levels.
Turrets are activated in the present but deactivated in the past. Unless you turn them on in the past ;)
While in the past, your ships hull isn't breached, which means you don't lose oxygen while you're in the past. This is key to managing your oxygen.
Hull Breaches decrease your oxygen loss rate substantially. DON'T GO NEAR THEM in the (present state).
In order to get access to some cubes you must use a cube (maybe even multiple)
Did you write most of the code yourself and made all the assets from scratch?
All code was written by us! All assets were made by us except music and royalty free SFX. Music artist gave us permission to use his music. Artist was given credit in our game description.

I like the art but I couldnt get very far. Kept dying. Maybe I am just bad at the game lol
Watch our play through for help! or read our tips section in our game description!
First of all, really nice game, (btw, i like portal, so it was expected...). I really like the puzzles, the music and the graphics.
If you're open to some feedback, here's what i'd change:
-add the ability to restart the level, so you don't have to wait for the time to kill you
-add a bubble or some indication above the player or an intractable when you can interact with it
-add the ability for the player to end the time rewind earlier
-sometimes, when you die while moving the sprite will keep sliding
-reduce the "hitbox" of the air-sucking holes so that it is confined to the tile instead of the particles
-sometimes the time you have to ponder your next move and execute it seems a bit too short, and it can get frustrating
I'm currently stuck to first level with 3 boxes because some nasty blackouts stopped me, but i'll update this once i finish the game
Thanks for the feedback! Everything you just said we would’ve changed but just ran outta time! if you ever get stuck, feel free to watch our walkthrough or read our tips!
I did continue, but i got stuck at the turret level with the 4 zones, it is a bit too hard for me, but i get how you are supposed to solve it, it's just very strict. I'd only add that, sometimes, you get stuck in a spot when you rewind because there were some boxes in the past and you didn't see them in the present. This said, the game is absolutely very well made, and you definitely deserve some praise for it, and even more for how you are willing to improve on your work
Bro the coolest game.
Thanks!
I like the graphics and ambient of the game, good job! I understand the idea of figuring it out yourself but maybe would be nice to have more of a visual 'hint' as to what to do in the beginning, as it is a bit tough, but really enjoyed the game! If you get a chance to check out and rate my game that'd be great :) Cheers!
Nice ambient!, a little bit tricky but fun!

I don't understand the oxygen mechanic. It seems to decrease at a random rate, I don't always die when it's empty but at some point after. It means I die randomly when trying to complete the puzzle which isn't fun.
We understand it’s a hard learning curve but don’t give up! Our game page has plenty of resources available to everyone to get them started!
We explain your problem in our description ;) you just gotta think!
it need atleast some kind of information i don't think a tutorial butatleast what is what like the switch and door ,the cubes and etc
the levels were too hard, i found it hard to move and move the cube. operating switches etc.
i was only able to get to 4th level
Oh no! Check out our page for hints and tips! that may help you!
Graphics and sound design are cool! But it's a little bit confusing at the beginning.
Indeed it is! It’s up to you to figure it out! You can always enter into Dev mode to allow you to wrap your head around the game better before you try again!
Miss a tutorial, was hard to tell what to do at first, but after figuring it out it is a cool game, congrats!
we did that intentionally! Be sure to read the description! we lay out everything for you all!
No idea what to do, I wanted to pick up a box in the first level but even when I press correct key nothing happens :/ Looks cool thou
HINT: Pressing E allows you to drag cubes! 0_0
Just press once to grab, press to release! You got this!
If you’re stumped enter into dev mode to try out the levels without oxygen consumption! or watch our walkthrough!
love the graphics and the music. I didn't even want to hit start at first as I was vibing to it!
A.L.L.I.S.O.N does a fantastic job on all his songs! links are in the description!
I didn't understand anything. 10/10
If you’re stuck! Check our description or watch our walkthrough! YOU got this!
simple and fun puzzle game
That was the goal! Thanks for the rating!
Well done, really great graphics and feel.
Thank you! We’ll be sure to check out your game as well!
Thanks for the feedback! we didn’t implement a tutorial for the reason you just said! we want you to be clueless at first. You can always look at our description for tips! That blue bar is your oxygen levels! don’t run out or your health will start declining!
i like the color palette its look smooth
Thank you very much! We worked hard!
Graphics are amazing
Pls play my game and rate if you want
Well done! We already did for you!
oh, thanks it means a lot for me
do you have any other game
Really nice take on the theme
Thanks for the Rating! i’m intrigued by your game! time to check it out!At first it looks a bit confusing, but it gets clear after playing a little. One thing I don't like very much is the death, that sometimes feels unfair, since it forces you to start over. But the gameplay itself is fun, and the art and music are perfect
Thanks for the feedback! We implemented a “Dev mode” that turns off oxygen consumption for this reason - To allow people explore the levels and have fun! Check our description on how to activate this GOD mode!
Loved the game all the way round! The puzzles were well designed and the art fit very nicely. Great job guys and good luck!
Thank you very much! We’ll be sure to rate your game too!
