The “Break it Down” Blog

If you haven’t heard yet, Braid will be hitting the Xbox Live Arcade tomorrow and I expect everyone reading this to buy it.

For those of you who haven’t been following the game, Braid is a beautiful 2D platformer from Independent developer, Jonathan Blow. Braid combines the simple gameplay of 2D platforming  with an innovative time-travel feature, that is ingeniously used to create complex puzzles.

However, not everything is effected by time. For example, a puzzle might require you to retrieve a key at the bottom of an inescapable hole. By rewinding time, you and the key can successfully escape said hole and proceed to the next level.

Still not convinced? Then try the demo for yourself that hits tomorrow or you can take my advice and buy the full version for 1200 Microsoft points.
