the only thing it has in common with Super Mario is being a platformer and having vaguely goomba-like creatures. also the time thing is completely, completely different from the Sands of Time are you serious man
This is very similar in physics, gameplay and levels to the FREE and OPEN SOURCE Supertux for Linux, which in turn is a superMario clone... Asking that money just for changing the supertux backgrounds and adding new music is a bit on the expensive side in my opinion.
@BigDog91527 It's part of the gameplay. Some things reverse back in time while some other things don't, it really adds a lot of difficult scenarios to the game.
i wish i could create a game as beautiful as this, i can program, but i just dont have the art skills, im stuck making prototypes with horrible graphics :(
Oyaah man agree with you there :) I love the fact the puzzles are nightmarish. Take for example portal 2. Also, strains beyond the power of my brain. You need that in a game, so you'll never stop at it. Besides, the games sthrengtened through its pretty backdrop. :O
@@kat4923haha, yeah that's why I'm back here 16 yrs after completing it, for the nostalgia ...'cause I don't remember playing it when it 1st hit xbl This game definitely left a lasting impression in this lifelong (since pinball) gamer's mind/heart/soul Not everybody was 8 when this game came out kid
@@metaphoricallyalive8109 it's a true masterpiece...in being such, I suppose the more mature (and even likely smarter) of us should expect its beauty to be lost on soooo many I can tell a lot of these negative comments are coming from people who probably rarely, if ever, finish games...much less 100% them ...especially w/o help, watching a vid on how to do it, or following a guide This game is chuck full of mind - bending puzzles, which pay in much satisfaction and feeling of accomplishment, when finally solved, aand I truly reflect on my time playing it, as time well spent

I guess half of the people commenting on this video and complaining about its price never really played the game or even thinks about trying it, I understand it's perfectly normal to judge a book by its cover, but let me tell you something, this game tells one of the most complex and rewarding stories I've ever seen, and Im not talking just about indies, I mean any games in general. If you are one of those people who enjoy a deep plot, then this is truly an experience you cannot afford to lose.
I don't think he was saying most games have bad music, just that most games don't have RELAXING music. I'm not so certain most people would call Ridley's theme from Super Metroid relaxing, for example. :P But I agree with you
+Kai i agree this game sucks balls there is this really neat point and click game called machinarium its way better then this and its music is also awesome
+Kai More work than this? The guy who wrote this (Jonathan Blow) designed it by himself with little to no help. I distinctly remember watching a talk of his where he mentions that Braid is over 90,000 SLoC. You can have your opinions about the game, but I wouldn't go around assessing how much "work" was put into it, because you clearly don't know how difficult game development is.
It doesn't matter how much work HE put in, but the total amount of work in the game, so a team of 50 ppl working on a game generally get more work put into it. And you're the one that doesn't know about game development because 90000 lines of code isn't particularly impressive; and, the code could just be poorly optimized.
90,000 lines of code without a backing game engine written by one person in 3.5 years certainly is impressive. Also, "more code" does not equate to "poorly optimized". In fact, it's quite often the opposite.
When working alone on codes, you are more likely to leave similar codes not functioned, and using or not using variables that will shorten the code; (not optimizing the code)
@catalincatala yes it can... xbox pad is supported out of the box, the interface changes to the color icons of the xbox buttons automatically... the pad rumble in the game is real fun:)
you don't have to do the double jump on the monster to get to another platform. just jump on the one below !, and you will reach the right platform at 5:30
Oh shit, I made a careless typo. Please forgive me! It will never happen again. And I know how to use my there's, or theirs, or... ya know what I mean. There = A location Their = Something of someones, for example, "It's their Xbox." They're = They are
Every time I got stuck, I'd just screw around trying random shit 'til my eye caught something...eventually did finish Brilliantly challenging (and therefore satisfying) game

Mario: it's so nice to meet a fellow jumping platformer.
That's what brought me here 💯😆
@@raysarte5246 same
“Does this look like a goomba to you?!”
This is an incredible game. Makes you really think about experiences in our lives. I still play it to this day.
This is one of the most memorable games from my childhood
It's funny because the game feels like Super Mario Bros. for Artists
God this game is so beautiful, from the graphics to the soundtrack. Brings me so much nostalgia
The moment the gameplay started I knew I was looking at something special :)
That’s pathetic
@@dann6065 you're pathetic
4:40 dat collision detection
He kicked it.
I'm here because Minecraft told me to try Braid also.
Omg..... My... My best game i played in my childhood.... İ searched it for 15 years....
You searched for it before it was made pretty impressive.
@@kynikersolon3882 yeah cos of im time traveller
I'm watching this video for the music more than anything. It's so freaking calming.
Thank you Jon Blow for this masterpiece 🙏🏽
DAT MUSIC OMG!!!
So this is like a Hipster's version of Super Mario.
you are being deceived. they want you to think this is like Mario
I just looked this up because of a Dorkly video that said the same thing.
came here because dorkly
Ooh! It's a Mario
*bow* that...was the correct answer...
Minecraft's menu led me here..."Also try Braid!"
Same xD
Same
same lol
same
Unlike most video games, this one relaxes you with its beautiful music and levels.
i agree. It looks pretty bad but alot of people say its fun.... i can't figure it out. Maybe i'll give the game a try.
This game is brilliant and has one of the best soundtracks I've ever heard.
I only found out about this game cause of Dorkly
@C433ze you get higher on your second jump off the critters
this is one of the best and most creative games ever made.
Lol

this game is overrated.
The music at 2:15 though... wow take me there right now...
This game shouldn't be called Braid....it should be called HELL!!!!
Ahhh, someone that actually played beyond the 1st few pieces 😅
@BigDog91527 It's part of the gameplay. Some things reverse back in time while some other things don't, it really adds a lot of difficult scenarios to the game.

They added this game to the Humble Bundle! SOO HAPPY!!!

One word for this game: Bellizimo!!!
It's only similar to mario at the beginning.
The game is about various time manipulation techniques and solving puzzles (lots of them).
Dat ending~
Man, I always used to watch people play this, and some dude said that this was an official Nintendo game, and I believed them!
The sound works well with the art direction.. but its also slow and tones down the action of game play.
no one gives indie artist the respect they deserve....
@19Jones91 This game is brilliant ..... Brings a diverse, beautiful platformer and inrestng gameplay.
beautiful game, and controlling time is the coolest thing ever
This game looks like a ytp.
had an idea for a game
googled it
it already exists and here it is. shit.
Don't worry, this game is mediocre at best and no one remembers it. You can make the better version, lol
@@kat4923 Damn, you are one shallow idiot. 😐
This game is anything but mediocre.
@@kat4923haha, yeah that's why I'm back here 16 yrs after completing it, for the nostalgia
...'cause I don't remember playing it when it 1st hit xbl
This game definitely left a lasting impression in this lifelong (since pinball) gamer's mind/heart/soul
Not everybody was 8 when this game came out kid
@@bionicca this is a result of Jon's years of work, a decade in fact, and it shows, his vision and his attention. Truly a beauty to behold.
@@metaphoricallyalive8109 it's a true masterpiece...in being such, I suppose the more mature (and even likely smarter) of us should expect its beauty to be lost on soooo many

Saw it from Minecraft’s splash text
...This person is smart.
I totally wouldn't have thought ahead the way s/he did in a couple of spots, haha, and I'm terrible at platformers, to boot. Very interesting game, and the music is gorgeous.
Damn! When the player first reversed time I did like a quadruple take. That's crazy!
This game looks so incredibly epic
music seems nice thats the only reason im watching this
I'm here because Zero Punctuation mentioned this in his review of Limbo. Doesn't look anything like Limbo! I'm currently addicted to Limbo.
Lemon
Thank you game grumps for showing me this game!!!!
at first i was like, what is this epicness, then i was like.. this is mario
I guess half of the people commenting on this video and complaining about its price never really played the game or even thinks about trying it, I understand it's perfectly normal to judge a book by its cover, but let me tell you something, this game tells one of the most complex and rewarding stories I've ever seen, and Im not talking just about indies, I mean any games in general.

Mmmhmmm, aand just to enjoy a unique game, where everything is truly original
I don't think he was saying most games have bad music, just that most games don't have RELAXING music. I'm not so certain most people would call Ridley's theme from Super Metroid relaxing, for example. :P But I agree with you
Anyone here after Tenet?
Who saw this game in the minecraft menu in yellow? I did in Xbox 360 version
Who's here from Dorklys
so many other games like this with more work put into it, that isn't boring. idk why ppl like this game
+Kai i agree this game sucks balls there is this really neat point and click game called machinarium its way better then this and its music is also awesome

This is like prince of persia without the climbing and the chasing and shiet
pretty much a mario looking game like there's goomba things and cannons
Until you actually play it
the music goes doooo dooo dooo the when he goes back in time really quick doooweedoooweooeowododowoe
so it's like Mario, Prince of Persia, and Banjo Kazooie?
Team Wax how about super meatboy?
@@placeholder3035 this came first
@catalincatala yes it can... xbox pad is supported out of the box, the interface changes to the color icons of the xbox buttons automatically... the pad rumble in the game is real fun:)
Pure art !
And don' forget about the ending, this game is a master piece...
don't forget the rescuing a princess part
you don't have to do the double jump on the monster to get to another platform. just jump on the one below !, and you will reach the right platform at 5:30
the music is really awesome.
The size of the vocabulary doesn't meet the sophisticated vibe it's letting off
this is like a darker, much more serious version of mario
Woah buddy, Will Smith rewinded time too, and it wasn't serious
This game is so fun. Also, check out Machinarium if you're into this.
Wonderful 🎉❤
insane skills
@lukekennedy1001 I know its a great game, I've had it since it came out. But at times it's a nightmare trying to figure a puzzle piece out.
The music its so beautiful.
Yes the music is truley amazing and relaxing
COD has nothing on this
Omg i missed this game
so creepy... yet so cool.
Limbo looks better to me....the concept is amazing...even thos this one is awesome too..but check out Limbo gameplay
Limbo is fun too, but this isn't comparable to anything
You have to PLAY IT!
Music is awesome
This reminds me of the kinds of games that they have on Newgrounds
super mario+prince of persia+braid=LIMBO
Oh this game I forgot all about it
Let’s Play Braid Shadow Legends
oh nvm I got it, damn so much thinking out of the box
my head is exploding
You can make YTP in middle gameplay? nice
watching this while downloading the game :D
The music is just amazing, i dislike the game but the music just kept me listening.
when mario turns dark
Oh shit, I made a careless typo. Please forgive me! It will never happen again.
And I know how to use my there's, or theirs, or... ya know what I mean.
There = A location
Their = Something of someones, for example, "It's their Xbox."
They're = They are
jesus christ, how much LSD were the developers on?
Just enough...but more is better next time 😁
how the fffffffffffuuuuuuuuuuucccccccccccckkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk do you get the other puzzle pieces in world 1-3 1-4 and 1-5
Every time I got stuck, I'd just screw around trying random shit 'til my eye caught something...eventually did finish
Brilliantly challenging (and therefore satisfying) game
thanks for the video I feel I'm dirty watching guides u.u xD
I wish i had the power of braid.
Soooooo, this is the thing that is suppose to be better than Mario?
nope the creater love Mario
cool this game keeps me from becoming bored, Life would be boring without BRAIDS
So much like pid... I love it
very nice game cant wait to play this for my classes, i wish i was fucking ded :)
amazing game
Did he get the puzzle piece!?
Why so violent? Also the time manipulation mechancis are different in this game than in Sands of Time. And as you progress become more varied.
fucking amazing music
The time travel function isn't that unique if you've played games on an emulator... *cough* save states *cough*
@AandKCarrigan ohhhhh now i get it! but still it looks super strange, he could've waited like in every other game haha ^^
deep deep game
