Dissecting Design: How Braid Merged Action and Puzzle Design
13For this week's dissecting design, we're focusing on Braid. Braid was one of the first big mainstream indie hits and kind of ushered in this "puzzle-action" kind of genre. I talked about how Jonathan Blow designed the game around abstract thinking, and built levels to teach the player his unique mechanics.
One correction: Braid was released in 2008.
