Braid 1.0
Explore the human condition and manipulate time in the lush, painterly world of Braid, a puzzle-platformer that takes you from a house in the city on a journey through a series of worlds to solve puzzles and rescue the princess. In each world, you have a different power to affect the way time behaves, including the ability to rewind, create parallel realities, and utilize time dilation. There is no filler in this game; every puzzle shows you something new and interesting about the game world.
Features:
- Untraditional platforming: You can never die and never lose, but challenge is always present and focused on solving puzzles, rather than forcing you to play and replay tricky jumps.
- Puzzle-rich environment: Travel through a series of worlds searching for puzzle pieces and solving puzzles by manipulating time: rewinding, creating parallel universes and setting up pockets of dilated time. The gameplay is always fresh and new and the puzzles inspire new ways of thinking.
- Aesthetic design: A painterly art style and lush, organic soundtrack complement the unique gameplay.
- Non-linear story: A nonlinear fiction links the various worlds and provides real-world metaphors for your time manipulations; act out real-world themes at your own pace, exploring playful “what if” universes.
- Forgiving gameplay: The game doesn’t force you to solve puzzles in order to proceed. If you can’t figure something out, just play onward and return to that puzzle later.

| Very pretty. Very fun. Very interesting way to create a story. The gameplay is superb, each puzzle is unique. Its a little short (the full game is), but hey, this is just the demo, go download it and see if you think its worth it. I bought the full game, and I've been recommending it to everyone I know since. |

| This is probably the best platformer I've played in a long time. It's unique, well put together, thoughtful, and the art and music are great in their own right. Sometimes I open this game just to listen to the soundtrack or watch the backgrounds move. We need more games with this level of vision and creativity. |
