Braid


Braid is a platforming game developed by Number None Inc and destined to the Xbox Live Arcade.

Braid is one of those games that are unknown to the public as if you don't use the Xbox Live Arcade you'll never play this game. Nevertheless, it doesn't mean they're bad games; on the contrary, Braid is the highest rated game on the Xbox Live and was praised by all.

The game lets you handle Tim who's trying to find his lost princess. Tim has visibly made a mistake he wishes he could take back. You'll learn a little bit more about their story while you advance through the six different worlds.

The game gains all its magic in the gameplay. Like a standard platformer, you'll simply move left and right with the ability to jump. The uniqueness of Braid is its use of time alteration. In each world, you'll use your capacities to rewind time differently. At the beginning you'll be able to rewind everything, but things will get harder and your time-rewind won't pick certain objects to bring them back to their original location or your player will have a different consequence from its use.

Braid is currently the best platforming game on the Xbox Live Arcade and with its unique puzzle-solving and its wonderful appearance, you won't notice how much time you've spend rewinding time and trying the puzzle again until you solve it.
