Braid - a Time Platformer: Rewind Your Mistakes

Braid - a Time Platformer brings the innovative time-manipulation mechanics of the classic game Braid to the platformer environment. Players control time directly: press X to rewind mistakes instantly, and hold the left arrow key while rewinding to fast-rewind. Standard movement is handled via W, A, D or arrow keys.

Level Design & Immortality Mechanic

The game features four meticulously designed levels by @-Aerrox-, all confirmed to be possible. A unique approach to failure means players never truly die; any mistake can be undone with the rewind feature, encouraging experimentation. The atmospheric soundtrack is "Downstream" by Shira Kammen, used under a Creative Commons license.

Recent Updates & Fixes

Recent updates have refined the experience, including graphical fixes, a spike to manage laggy monsters, corrected ladder controls for WASD users, and fixes for cannon timing and monster animations. To start a level, click the flag and wait; click it again if the view is small. Players looking for hints can check the comments (spoiler warning included).
