I played the full game, and just after the demo section ends you have elements of the game world that aren't affected by your time manipulation ability. So if you rewind time at say, 8x speed, your jumpman will move quickly while these unaffected objects move at the normal rate. This allows you to pull off jumps and item manipulation tricks you couldn't do normally. An example of a puzzle using this is a sliding floor you have to extend to get across a chasm, with a puzzle piece being beneath the extended floor. You can't get the piece when the floor is retracted because of the chasm, and you can't get the piece when the floor is extended because it blocks off the piece. What you have to do is climb the ladder onto the floor, run down and flip the switch, then rewind time fast enough that you are above the floor just before it extends to its full length and blocks off the puzzle piece. I'm sure there are more intricate puzzles later on and some reviewer can describe them better than I can, but I left the game feeling that it was quite innovative. Of course, Caltrops loves to bash anything that's acclaimed and we're all PC gamers here, so anything other than "free" is too high a price to pay. (Even for me: I played it at a friend's house.) |

I think you're wrong about Braid. by bink 08/10/2008, 3:53pm PDT
The term 'free' is meaningless, you fuckwank. Everything has a price tag. NT by Caltrops Econ 101 08/10/2008, 4:41pm PDT
Semantics. Blackcats Games = free; Braid = not free. NT by bink 08/11/2008, 7:04am PDT
Worst possible tracker to mention in the same breath as "free" by Worm 08/11/2008, 8:57pm PDT
You MONSTER! They have a seed point system! How could you!? NT by bink 08/12/2008, 7:03am PDT
Not just acclaimed, but pretty motherfucking pretentious. by Worm 08/10/2008, 6:50pm PDT
So does this justify unfunny arcade's screeching about what games we should buy? NT by Creexuls, a monster >:3 08/10/2008, 7:00pm PDT

Whoa, you're gonna tell me that the demo actually compelled you to buy it? by Worm 08/12/2008, 7:03pm PDT
No, all the reviews of how groundbreaking it was compelled me to buy it NT by Worm is a God Damned Moron 08/12/2008, 7:13pm PDT
