I managed to find two, easily harder than any other aspect of that game.

Very true, they are the hardest part (and optional). The 45-minute speedrun is good too once you know how to complete the game =P

I ended up looking up what numbered areas they were in but not how to get them. One complaint I would have though is that there is one star that you can't get if.....

..... you complete one of the jigsaw puzzles in the hub area (I think it's the World 3 one, I forget) and there is no way to undo it.

It's difficult, but it's amazing. It's one of those games where you look at the puzzle for a long time thinking "how in the world am I supposed to do this?" But eventually you figure it out and it feels amazing. A+ game.

Great way to describe the game. It was difficult but that eureka moment of finally solving a puzzle was totally worth it. I would say definitely have other stuff to play when you get stuck though, then come back to it later =P

One of my favorite games; it really put indies on the map. Amazing soundtrack and superb story-telling. It really digs deep.

"it really put indies on the map."

Not really, hell even Cave Story came out years before it, sure there are many others that got much praise.

Braid is the first game I can recall being called an "indie" game. There were probably others. Braid likely didn't invent the genre, but it was a leap forward for it.

I know it's a good game, but I tried it, played it for 5 minutes, went "Nope" and deleted it. Just not my type of game.

Good idea. I judge everything in life based off the first five minutes. Five minutes into Saving Private Ryan, I walked out. Save your money, it's just some old dude at a graveyard and has nothing to do with WWII. After my wedding, I was like "Nope" and divorced her. Based on the first five minutes, I can tell you that marriage is just about getting your picture and people crying. Don't waste your time.

EDIT: Oh, and don't get me started on books. I get like two pages in about 5 minutes. THEY ARE JUST A BUNCH OF WORDS!! EVERY ONE OF THEM!!!

Stop comparing things that are not in the least related, I for one can tell if I like the gameplay of a platformer in 5 mins...its not that deep.

Get a grip, take an opinion, he doesn't like it, so what.

I for one hated the game.

It's not for everybody. I think you either love it or hate it and there is not really much of a middle ground.

Just keep trying. I'm not that good at platformers or puzzlers but managed to finish the game by myself. Took me awhile, though!

BRAID!

I love this game like whoa, and have played it completely through multiple times. And due to this topic, I started playing it again just now!

Partway through World 3, and I do what I always do when I first open the door with the irreversible key: reverse time to see what will happen? I'm so dumb. I always forget until I see it, and then I remember that I ALWAYS DO THIS. Every time! It's such a pain.

I disliked Braid. I mean, it was a cool idea for a mechanic but the entire thing had lackluster execution.

Then naturally, the 'ending' was just a bunch of random-sounding text, that once you solved the puzzle there too, it still didn't make a whole lot of sense unless you're well versed in history. Even then, it turns out that the entire game was a gigantic art-fart with a pretentious psuedo-goal. It's the gamer's version of blueballs.

I got part of the way through it, then got pretty stuck. I tried for a while, but have kind of given up because I can't seem to make any more progress. Maybe I'll come back to it in the future, but I don't know.

I'm very much looking forward to the completion of the next project by Jonathan Blow & company: The Witness

I've been following the development here and there and Jonathan is very smart and clever guy so I have no doubt that it's going to be good. I also get the sense that it going to be a significantly bigger/longer game than Braid.
