Braid = Amazing

I found a video game recently (I do not have much time for games but..) which was nothing more that the usual 2D Maria type of game. The thing is, as I started playing it turned out as something extraordinary. Surprisingly, I managed to devote a lot of time on it and I usually cannot get so much into a video game, however, I found myself playing all the time.

Braid is a puzzle game developed by Number None Inc. and it tells the story of Tim, the protagonist, who is similarly to Mario, looking for his queen. There are certain stages of the game which tells the story of the main character and if you are interested to spend time on reading the story you can indeed be fascinated.

The main element of the game and what actually makes it so interesting is the feature of time manipulation. Using this ability Tim progresses by completing different puzzles and slowly reaching his queen. The idea of the game is to gather different keys and puzzle pieces and to open new levels until you reach the final antagonist who is guarding the queens.

In the game you can see different time-based mechanics or different elements dependent on time, that you need to figure how to use or perhaps overcome.

Here is a link to the official page of the game: http://braid-game.com/

A combination of amazing graphics and nice music brings you pleasure which you will have a hard time not stop playing.
