Jonathan Blow · 2008
Braid is a 2D puzzle-platform game developed by Thekla Inc., published by Microsoft, released on XBLA in 2008. Its art was created by David Hellman. It uses time manipulation as its central design pillar, delivered through six sequentially unlocked worlds, each governed by a distinct temporal rule. Narrative is conveyed through text between worlds, environmental art, and gameplay itself.
