Braid is a very simple yet very fun and difficult puzzle game that deals with time travel. As far as indie games goes this is the cream of the crop. It was well worth it to pay the $15 before it went on sale!

Try the demo if you aren't sure you'll like it.

i'd probably call this one of the single greatest games i've ever had the pleasure of playing. the story, the music, the graphics, the puzzles, the time manipulation. everything was perfect.

Question: Are there any upgrades to the character? Or do you always have the basic jump/reverse time? There's 2 puzzle pieces in one of the world 1 stages that I can't get, and I don't want to waste my time trying if it's impossible at this stage of the game anyways

EDIT: And thanks for letting me know about the deal!

@nortorius, iirc all puzzles are solvable the first time through. Keep trying.

no! this isn't true. You can't do every puzzle the first time you walk into a room. But, your character is never upgraded. When you get through the entire first world you should be able to go back and get those straggling pieces.

There is only 2 puzzle pieces you cannot do first time through, the rest you can do the first time you see them.

Those 2 pieces are in world 2 door 2 i think.

The gameplay and puzzles are fantastic. The story/'art-via-obscurity'/'the-author's-a-dick' aspect, not so much.

This is the best game (and not only game) ive ever played. I truly believe it has managed to capture the core of what it means to be human (as an conscious, thinking, creative, philosophical being). I know every1 is gonna laugh at me but i dont care bcos this game caused me to have some of the best, most emotional, most introspective moments of my life.

The reason why im writing this is not to be laughed upon, or to brag the game. Ive been looking for a person a year now, a forum, a fanclub even (

) who feels the same way about the game as i do, and has experienced a tremendous weird and emotional moment at the end of the game, so i can have a conversation with that person, as was unable to find anyone even with my friends, parents etc... (Yes i do think i went a bit overboard with me being an emotional pussy).

So if this feels somewhat familiar, contact me :D (Braid........ wtf.................)
