Really liked the idea, though not sure the time-trials were the best choice. I say that because I often died just because I wasn't watching my bars for a couple seconds, I think some sort of visual or sound warning when a player is low would've really been helpful. It was also sometimes hard to tell if you've picked up a box, a pulling animation would have also benefitted this. But I loved the concept of the game and the music was a good touch.

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)
