Really enjoyed playing the game. The gameplay was fun and innovative. I liked the character's expression when recording. Sound effects are awesome!

Suggestions:

Maybe add a sound effect for entering the recorder screen in addition to exiting?
I noticed that the player character can be seen behind everything except the bus. Maybe make the bus transparent as well when he's behind it?
I was a little surprised that the dogs didn't do anything. I think they could be an awesome recording source. Maybe find a way to add them?

Overall, I had a lot of fun playing Playback, and can't wait to see what direction it goes!

Wow, what a beautiful and relaxing game! Really different from all the other games I've tried so far.

One small suggestion could be to add some kind of minimap. Other than that, extremely well done!!

Thank you for playing the game and the feedback! We may add a minimap or a sense of progression after the jam is over :)
