'''Braid''' is a [[platform]] and [[puzzle]] video game developed by independent software developer Jonathan Blow (Number None). The game was released on August 6, [[2008]] for the [[Xbox 360]]'s [[Xbox Live Arcade]] service. A [[Microsoft Windows]] version was released on April 10, [[2009]]. [[Hothead Games]] ported and released the game to [[macOS]] on May 20, 2009 and the [[PlayStation Network]] on November 12, 2009. On December 14, [[2010]], a [[Linux]] version was released as part of the [[wp:Humble Bundle|Humble Indie Bundle 2]].

Blow designed the game as a personal critique of contemporary trends in game development. He funded the three-year project with his own money. Webcomic artist David Hellman drew the artwork, which underwent several iterations until it satisfied Blow's vision. A preliminary version of Braid without the final artwork won the "Innovation in Game Design" award at the 2006 [[wp:Independent Games Festival|Independent Games Festival]]; the final version received additional accolades.

 

On April 30, 2024 Braid, Anniversary Edition was released. It includes updated graphics, and developer commentary.
