It's Braid! My friend recently recommended it, and what do ya know? It's on sale! The puzzles seem to be pretty tricky, with a few in the first two worlds that I've had to leave unsolved...for now. A really unique puzzle game of time, set in a mario world, with an mystifying story and art.

You forgot to mention it's $5 though.

Sun, 09/13/2009 - 7:31amDemo? Bleh, forget that! I'm talking about the game itself, not some broken demo. Read the reviews and such, or at least the trailer. I didn't play the demo, but as far as the REAL game goes, it's really nice, and, if any, the glitches are probably minor.

Tue, 09/15/2009 - 1:59amI meant that the game doesn't appear to be compatible with my computer specifically, for some reason. I don't doubt that it's fantastic when it works! D:

Fri, 03/04/2011 - 9:11pmWell, I finally got the energy to finish the game now that a bunch of peers are trudging along through the puzzles too, and I have to say that it was well worth it. There seems to be a pretty general consensus about the overall interpretation of it, but I saw somewhere that the creator would give his own interpretation of the story, but I have yet to find it.
Fap, that sounds like an interesting paper to read! I'd like to hear your analysis and interpretation too! (e-mail to escape spoiler hazards?)

Sat, 03/05/2011 - 7:07amUh sure! You want me to just send you the paper? It was for Eng 102 so don't expect anything of graduate quality, but at least I got an A+ on it.
Crazy Rambles
Sat, 03/05/2011 - 8:33amThat's ok! I'm curious as to your perspective, and not that I'm done with the game I've been reading upon it and such, so it'll be fun to read! Thanks!
