I just couldn't tear myself away from Braid long enough to write something up on it. Best of luck on those last puzzles. Marlwin, I'm surprised you found the jumping difficult. I thought it was very forgiving. Glad to hear you still enjoyed it despite that issue. Nathan, sorry it took awhile to get out the review.

I'm not crazy about the graphic style (watercolor photoshop filter ?) but it's ok, and the music is great and very deep. I loved the concept of time manipulation, how it evolve from world to world and the story too. Despite some tricky levels, the game is a bit short but it worth its price.

I've not yet passed it, a few puzzles causing me trouble, but it's definitely an enjoyable and unique game.
