Braid now available for Mac
BY Matt Brooker May. 21st, 2009 More on:

The Mac version of Jonathan Blow’s Indie darling, Braid, is now available for purchase and download via Playgreenhouse, allowing minds of Mac users everywhere to be blown and subsequently destroyed all within the comfort of OSX. Braid, released late last summer exclusively for Xbox Live Arcade, wowed and frustrated just about anyone who gave it a go. Don’t tell me you didn’t use an FAQ for at least one puzzle, I will fight you!

There’s really not much incentive to buy one version of Braid over the other, considering both are available for $14.95. The decision just boils down to the system you own and control style you prefer. If you haven’t experienced the brain melting powers of Braid, get your hands on it one way or another. Don’t let one of the most impressive downloadable titles of ‘08 pass you by.

      Yeah, It’s always great to see a good game available to a wider audience.

      Was the difficulty what made it hard to get into? I can definitely see where you’re coming from if that’s the case. I knew after the first few puzzles that I wouldn’t be able to finish the game alone. So, I actually played through the majority of the game with someone on the couch next to me or while chatting with a friend over Xbox Live. It was nice to have an extra set of eyes and made the awesome sense of discovery, that I felt consistently throughout Braid, that much sweeter.

      If anyone knows how to get a USB Saturn pad working with Braid on a Mac, let me know. I just can’t use arrow keys and a space bar.
