Holy mother of mercy at the ending.
Now all I need to do (Besides a speed run) is
Question: If I start a new game, I assume it will overwrite the one I have completed?
It hits a little too close to home. (Except I never went so far as to do any stalking.) The whole reversal of the last level revealing that it wasn't she who was guiding you, it was you who could not take a hint.
Now all I need to do (Besides a speed run) is
find the stars. But even though I know where two are (Thanks to spoilers in the thread) I can't get them to appear. Little help? I don't care if I am spoiled on these.

From what I've read, the only known stars so far are on stages 2-2, 4-5, 4-7, 6-5, 6-6
2-2 took over an hour to get
4-5 is in the top right corner
4-7 involves double bouncing off the goomba as he comes out of the cannon
6-5 is above you at the start, but you have to get to the top right corner first
6-6 starts with climbing up one of the ladders that drops down, then bouncing off of the rabbit-cat
2-2 took over an hour to get
4-5 is in the top right corner
4-7 involves double bouncing off the goomba as he comes out of the cannon

I can post more details if you want, but that should give you a good start.
Why do the rabbits make cat noises?

On the hunt for stars and I noticed that there is a gap in the wall to the right hand side of the room containing the door to world two.

You can use the puzzle platform trick to get on it... but I can't seem to do anything when I'm up there. It's strange though, because it's the only room to have that gap. Misdirection? Maybe.

That was amazing. To quote a really bad song, I think the game said it best when it said nothing at all.

Hopefully it will continue to do well. If any XBLA-game deserves it, it's Braid. Probably gonna be in my top 3 GOTY.

Use the goombas to bounce over the piranha plants and get above the cannon.

Can somebody give me a hint on "Movement by Degrees"? I can't get past the first plant.

I spent about 4 hours doing two puzzles but I finally finished it :lol The feeling you get when you finally figure a tough one out is immense. The last level was fantastic but I'm not sure about the ending yet. I think I should go back and read all the little books again.

So apparently there's one on "Crossing the Gap" but I can't find it... another in world three somewhere, but I can't find that either.
I also noticed that when you get to your castle in the epilogue there is one of those clouds there, but unlike the one in 2-2 it really doesn't do anything (unless it takes a few hours to move an inch). There's also a "time immune" platform on the screen to the left with a lever... but I don't know what it's for.

You can use the platform to get past those two green books and then stand behind the rock to the left for one more screen of text. You pull the switch and rewind while standing next to the red book or something like that, IIRC.

I was just thinking about this now, but I no longer hate how the main character looks anymore. I hated it before playing the game, I still didn't like it during the game, but
upon seeing that ending and realizing what kind of guy this Tim is, I think the creepiness to his look is actually great.
oh come on, nick suttner. blow designs like a genius and writes like a teenager. the enigmatic, ambiguous presentation of the story is interesting -- and i confess that i've yet to make much sense of it -- but the writing unmistakably belongs to the 'fragments beginning with the word she' genre so popular in high school literary magazines. granted that relationship angst, normally the least interesting subject in the world, is novel, refreshing material for a videogame -- but loving braid for its story is perverse. at best. it betrays an inadequate appreciation for its shit hot puzzle design

I would be curious to know if there is an extra
book in each epilogue screen. Because I think I couldn't find another one in maybe the third screen and the final one. Although I doubt the final has a hidden one, there were no red ones to begin with.

Just got to World 6. I've been finding all the pieces before progressing to the next world. 5 was tough. 6 looks harder. I love the Braidsaur.

If you're fighting the boss in the level where your
shadow repeats your movements when you rewind time....
You sure you don't want to figure this out?
Really? The game isn't to long, take the time to enjoy it.
Alright, whatever you want. Drop the chandeliers on him. When you hit him, rewind until the chandelier REATTACHES to the ceiling. Your shadow will then drop the shadow chandelier on him, but the real thing will be fine, and ready to be used again.

Found the star on 5-4
You have to bounce the goomba onto the platform that is directly underneath the first puzzle piece. It turns into a 5 or 6 hit juggle combo.

As much as I disappointed myself getting hints for World 3 stuff I just ripped through a whole bunch of World 4 shit all on my own.
GO ME.
I loved the one with the three Mario Plants. When I figured that out I literally stood up and was like "I GOT YOU, PUZZLE. I FUCKING GOT YOU."
That's the level I stopped at and I only skipped that one between the two locked doors. Haven't figured that one out yet.

Ugh, only 6 more pieces to go. 5 on world 5 and 1 on world 6.
I'm having a hard time on "Impassable Follage" with the 2nd piece.

I take it you need two of the goomba guys to make it up to the platform with the piece. I know thats it, but I just can't get the timing down on the 2nd one.

Sweet, I just cleaned up the pieces I had left on worlds 3-5... it really helped to come back to it with a fresh perspective. Such a great feeling when you figure out a puzzle that initially seemed completely impossible.
Jtyettis said:
I'm in the process of doing it now. I haven't gotten the star yet but the last cloud at the end of the stage, the one up high that seems to being sitting still, is actually moving a few pixels per second to the left. Basically I think you have to wait for it to get to the first platform in the stage and jump on it from the lock barricade (you'll need to have reentered the stage from the end to get this back up) and ride it to the little top ledge at the beginning of the stage. The thing is the cloud moves really slow so think of something else to do while you wait. This is assuming I'm right.

It's interesting what puzzles every person has trouble with. I found World 4 much harder then World 5.

Anyone else think that the fact that there's a cloud at the end of the epilogue just hanging around like 2-2 and the fact that there's a green platform to avoid time rewind would lead to another star?
