Braid – 2D platform and puzzle video game

Last Updated on July 10, 2021

Braid is a critically acclaimed 2D platform and puzzle video game developed by independent software developer Jonathan Blow.

It is a platform game in painterly style where you manipulate the flow of time to solve puzzles. Every puzzle in Braid is unique; there is no filler. The puzzles give your mind a workout. It requires more attention, cunning and brainpower than Golden Axe and Sonic 2 put together.

Braid treats your time and attention as precious, and it does everything it can to give you a mind-expanding experience.

All gameplay is based on time manipulation. Journey into worlds where time behaves strangely; observe, learn from, and then master these worlds.

Features include:

• The game is divided into 6 worlds each having its own time-based game mechanic:
  • Time and Forgiveness.
  • Time and Mystery.
  • Time and Place.
  • Time and Decision.
  • Hesitance.
• In turn, each game world has approximately a half dozen levels.
• An extremely original and innovative platform game.
• The ability to rewind time adds to the complexity of the game.
• Beautifully imaginative graphics.
• Awesome soundtrack; licensed music from Magnatune artists Shira Kammen, Cheryl Ann Fulton, and Jami Sieber.
• Taxes the grey matter – collect puzzle pieces to create jigsaw puzzles.
