Too short for one of the most incredible 2D Platformers available to date

I was depressed when walking away from Braid. It was over. After a few short hours of puzzle solving genius I was finished.

Starting the game I was instantly hooked on the fascinating watercolor like scheme and graphics - which held me captive throughout the remainder of the game.

The premise of the game is simple, what if we could undo the things in life that we wish we hadn't done? Well our protagonist Tim is living in a world where this is possible, and you must use this to guide Tim through a series of worlds, each with individual levels.

Every world has a puzzle that must be solved by collecting the pieces which are strategically placed in the most inconvenient and difficult to collect places. All pieces require special thought and strategy to collect.

Every world also has a slightly different theme. Where one world you may use your own shadow to help collect puzzle pieces, another level may require you to use a time capsule that slows the time of anything near it.

As much as I absolutely LOVED Braid, it was over so fast. The second time through just wasn't the same due to the incredible emotion and storytelling the first time through.

I guarantee fans of 2D Platformers will love Braid for while it lasts.
