Mr Square -
That's the one that took me two days.
what happens when you hit a guy from underneath?
That's the one that took me two days.
I'd never seen what happens in that circumstance, I just accidentally did it on another level and then I was like omigawd

The website lets you buy 500.
However, I always recommend only using prepaid cards.

Not least, because they're much cheaper.The Innocent X said:
£13.97 (compared to £17.85 on Live) with free delivery for 2100 on Tesco.com
In fact, if you add two lots to your basket (4200), then use code 'Freedel', you actually get the free delivery as usual, and then like yet another £1.50 off too for some reason.
Of course, it often takes 7 days, but luckily I keep my points balance topped up with these cards in advance, saves me a fortune compared to buying them directly from Live.

Just kill them from left to right (beginning with the one on the top) and take in account that you can use any of the enemies to jump at any hight because the time-respawn (don't use the stairs).

It IS expensive, but I think it is more about the quality of the experience for the time it does entertain you than the length. There is no way this will last me as long as Geo Wars 2, but I think as a tight gameplay experience I will get more out of Braid... Hmm, I hope that makes sense. Off to work!

I already knew you had to go from left to right.
If you're standing still you stop time, right? Well what if you're jumping in the same place constantly while time is stopped?

I'm glad people are spoilering the level solutions. I'd be PISSED if I read the solution to a level I was planning on going back to.

Yeah, fight the urge to look at spoilers as much as you can.
It takes away the fun.
Also if you do spoil, you should make it fun and intresting so the player still has to think about what they need to do.

Oh hey I'm no 59 on the leaderboards.
Can anyone explain or even hint at what I'm supposed to do here (spoiler tags obviously)?
Took a pic of where I'm stumped (the second part of "Irreversible" in World 3): http://mt15.quickshareit.com/share/img_00754ed35.JPG It's the last puzzle piece I need and I can't seem to figure out a way how to open that last door =/

Thanks, it would have been a great poster boy for XNA if it had been.

The zune store actually sells points in 400, 1200, 2000, and 4000 increments, which is perfect for XBLA.
So.. How do i get the second puzzle piece on 4-5 ?
It's the where you have to lead the enemy between t o plants to make it go down to a platform so i can jump on it and get the puzzle piece. I'cve tried several times, and i just cant time it with the last plant.. Going up the ladder and then going left just doesnt seem to be fast enough to get the plant to lower.

Yeah, Zune.net lets you buy 400 point blocks and they show instantly in your Marketplace account since they are the same account.

Just played the demo, got all the pieces you can get without much trouble.
The long and short of it, I wish you could rent XBLA games, I can't see myself returning to this after finishing it, and 1200 points is too rich for my blood. Would've bitten at 800 points.

Well, if the Big Mac combo went up in price by 30%, I don't see it selling nearly as well.
I think his complaint is valid and that's the risk MS took in pricing it that much.
I think it's worth 1200 pts. I fell in love with the demo and it convinced me. For those needing a little more convincing, I can't blame them for not wanting to jump in at this point in time.
Anyways, this debate doesn't belong in this thread. I say if anyone considers the game too expensive, respect their opinion and move on. It has to be recognized that this price point was a risk MS took. They knew it would turn away some people. If these people want to voice their opinions, I won't hold it against them.

Yeah well I'm a vegetarian! I do want to play the rest of the game, but I wasn't blown away and everyone has to have their limit of what they would pay, I'm fairly poor/cheap at the moment.PhatSaqs said:

This game is really awesome. I bought the full game after only trying a bit of the demo. Even the art, which I thought was terrible based on videos and screens, look good on my TV (except the actual main character who I still think looks bad.)

I did not follow the development of this game, mainly because for some strange reason I did not like the design of the mais character. So I may have missed the point why everyone was so "wow" about the game. After the "annoucement" that the game will cost 1200 pts my interested pretty much felt down and I was thinking in skipping even the demo of the game (I have so many games yet to play). So I left home today without downloading it...
But now after hearing all the buzz you guys are making, and after reading that incredible gamesutra article I think it was a mistake. I have to check the game!
