The banal story about a prince in love, who overcomes incredible difficulties and solves a variety of ingenious puzzles for the sole purpose of saving a beautiful princess languishing in the tower, filled his mouth long before the onset of the video game era. But, oddly enough, such stories are used quite actively even in expensive and high-profile projects. A vivid example of this is the multi-part saga from Ubisoft about the brave prince of Persia, regularly, sparing no strength (and even fewer numerous enemies), saving his beloved.
But the passage of the game Braid, despite all its low budget, has many attractive features and its own unique moments.

Passage Braid has its own "highlight" - the ability to control the passage of time. Fading colors are a clear sign that time is rolling back.
In general, we are faced with much more than an unpretentious clone of the old hit. No wonder the best platformer of 2009 was recognized as Braid. Passage of this incredibly bright, superbly balanced and dynamic game is replete with numerous original puzzles that will please not only experienced gamers, but also beginners. Each such riddle has its own unique solution. This game is a real masterpiece of elegant puzzles and daring challenges to gamers.

This seemingly uncontrollable quantity in the game is not only a full-fledged participant in the gameplay, but also an indispensable assistant in solving numerous puzzles. Another important detail of the colorful, animated world of Braid is the relationship with the unusual-looking opponents. Original woolen balls, remotely resembling cartoon lion heads, and toothy pink rabbits from sworn enemies easily turn into faithful allies. In the game, they play a role, depending on the situation, then a reliable support, then a convenient springboard. Without the timely help of these unfriendly inhabitants of the game world, passing Braid is not possible.
But perhaps the most surprising is
, as you move through the locations of the game, realize that all these ingenious decisions of developers from Number None studio are intertwined into one incredibly intriguing plot tangle. Before you get used to the mechanics of time management and opponents, jumps, as Braid is already reincarnating, throwing unusual plot twists.
