I finished Braid. That was worth the $15 easily.
The last puzzle piece I found was the "guide 2 sequential goomba-things through piranha-plant hell" one in the last world. It was annoying. I ended up painfully synchronising all of the piranha-plants so that I could just tap rewind constantly and guide as many goombas as I liked through. It took about 10 minutes to get them lined up.
World 1 was awesome, apart from it not making sense. How does stepping on a dead goomba revive it? The broken ladder bit was really cool. The first/last level was amazing. It took me a while to get the timing right for the goomba-canon part. I had to redo the level 3 times to get it just right.
It was really cool seeing it backwards afterwards. It all made sense.
The epilogue was odd, but satisfying. I'm assuming that the secret stars will put text in the blank books, but I'm not sure. I guess there's only one way to find out…
I'm currently trying to reach that mysterious cloud in the first world. I can't get to it. I can't see any way to get to it. I know that's the point, but I'm annoyed by it. Every other puzzle has given me an idea of what I'm supposed to do at least. This is just a cloud that it impossible to reach. More on this situation as it unfolds.
