I just wanted to take a moment and say thank you for this awesome game. I was hanging out with friends one night, and talking about how much I liked Legend of Zelda and similar puzzle games. A friend mentioned this awesome game that he thought I would like, so I tried Braid out on his Xbox. And I have never thought the same about video games.

One thing I believe games lack these days is a sense of meaning. I love both Sonic and Mario, but they get repetitious after a sense, and all the heightened graphics seem to be nothing but cover-up for poor, monotonous gameplay. Your game not only contains awesome graphics but a sense of actual meaning. The journey one takes in Braid means something to each and every person, which is what I think makes it so unique and awesome.

Fortunately, I was unable to finish Braid that night (at 3 in the morning!) so I have something wonderful to look forward to when the PC version comes out. 🙂 Good luck with your future ideas, and thanks for giving the world what a videogame should be.

Suttner got it right. All I can say is thank you.

I’ve only been able to get through the first 3 levels because I probably live a life too much like the main character, but I cannot wait to play some more tomorrow morning before work.

To be honest, I was late into the office today because of Braid. Time simply disappeared. And unfortunately I can’t rewind…

I wanted to congratulate you on the game. It looks like Braid is getting great sales along with those fantastic reviews looking at the leaderboards. The entire experience has been extremely refreshing and I look forward to your next project.

Yes, this is quite a fantastic game so far. 🙂 World 4 could have been a game by itself.

Although I really hope the PC version will have mod tools. If it does I’ll pay again for it. 🙂

Mind you.. from what I’ve heard about the ending, I’m getting the feeling I’m not going to like it.

Yes, I have deleted the spoiler part of that comment. Sorry — I don’t like editing comments — but I want to keep from ruining the game for people.

However, it may be hard for me to keep up with that kind of thing; a lot of comments are coming in and it’s hard to read them all. So, everyone, please, don’t post spoilers. There are a bunch of forum threads going on, out there on the internet, where people are doing a good job of keeping spoilers inside spoiler tags… that’s probably a better place for this kind of question, as this blog software doesn’t support spoiler tags!
