[h1] Do you remember Portal, Antichamber, Q.U.B.E. or Magrunner? This game fall right into same category of first person puzzle platformers. Playback Loop is all about recording your movement and playing it back hence the name. Some levels require you to think outside the box and finding solution is always satisfactory. Whole experience is rather short so it can be completed in one sitting. Highly recommended! [/h1]
A Cool, refreshing take on a puzzle platformer. Nothing less then what you expect from TopHat! More similar to viewfinder then portal if I really had to give it a comparison.

The lack of an inverted Y-axis option makes this game unplayable for me, unfortunately. That said, I really appreciate that it includes resolution and frame rate settings. Something that's often missing in many indie titles I've played recently, so it's definitely a positive point.
Neat little game, gives portal vibes without too much lore other than the experimental factor so don't expect too much story-wise. As others have pointed out the first 10 or so levels are intuitive to figure out, however some later levels are much difficult due to them implementing the idea that ghosts can record button presses like E even when there is no cube initially, they will grab it when there is. Also ghosts hold the last key press. So if you are holding W when you end the recording, the ghost will continue to "hold W" past the recording. This becomes useful in later levels. Speedrunning this game is...interesting. I wish you luck on Leap Frog!
I Love this game, because it has a unique Game Mechanic and it's quite fun, however a few Level were a bit to much for my two brain cells ^^' I also enjoy the graphics and the Level Design!
Nice free first person puzzle game. The mechanics are explained cleanly and it was nice going through it. Did not have any issue with the puzzles, they flowed nice and were quite easy (though timing is required). Well I gave up on one puzzle of chapter 5 (which I think is the last chapter?) so will see when I feel like coming back to it to finish the game. For free, is neat!

Fun little game, though very short. Hopefully the dev gets around to making a fully fledged title at some point, this shows great promise.
fun and unique puzzles and cool art, overall high quality experience
Worth any money (did not paid anything)
