Braid is a 2-D puzzle-platformer game developed for the Xbox Live Arcade.

The gameplay is challenging but not punishing - death or loss cannot occur - and every puzzle introduces something new about the world. Braid's main focus is on valuing your time and attention; there are no filler elements present in this game so every moment spent playing it will reward you with something meaningful.
