Nice timing. I actually was thinking about it this morning, wondering when we would see its release. I love the style. Great music, too. Controls will take a bit getting used to. I'd be surprised if I didn't purchase it later today, after a little more test-playing. Another wonderful indie game.

And it works on PPC too, which I wasn't really expecting. Bought.

When someone gets to the third "world" in Braid, lemme know. I can't solve some of these puzzles. :wall:

Bought :) Works fine BUT there doesn't seem to be gamepad support :blink: Though there is of course a way to configure one's gamepad to correspond keyboard keys.

Yeah, I made a ControllerMate setup for my Rumblepad 2, which is here in case you have ControllerMate and want to skip doing it yourself. If you have a different joypad you probably have to mess with it a bit.

Tried out the demo. I must say I'm very impressed. Charming graphics, terrific music, and simple, yet complex gameplay make this outstanding. It also poses philosophical thoughts and dialogue along the way. (something I like.) I normally turn my nose up at 'casual' titles, but this one is amazing. Glad it came to the mac, and while I no longer have a PPC machine, its great to hear it works on those too. For $15 its a steal. I'd easily pay $20-25 for this level of quality. If you have any misgivings, at least give it a try.

I just tried out the demo, or tried to. When I click the 'launch demo' button, it just quits without anything happening.

I had problems launching it on my G4 running OS10.3.9. Worked OK on my G5 with 10.4.11. Check to see if you have at least the minimum OS version.

Your wish has been granted. Version 1.5 is out – with controller support. Just use the link in the first post to download.

The music... amazing stuff. I quite like this game and my friends are getting into it too. It was one evening of laptops and games when I fired up the demo and the sounds caught everyone's attention... The backwards sound reversal thing...

I have to say again though, the music is enthralling... Good stuff, eh!

Don't forget to look for the secrets after you finish the game. :)

Secrets eh? Are they like the Easter egg secrets or secret area type of secrets?

More like the secret type of secrets. Two hints: 1. that constellation at the beginning of the game (in the screen in front of Tim's house) is part of one, and 2. the somewhat disjointed text fragments in the epilogue make more sense when you find the other parts.
