That’s right, you’re not metered down here — you have unlimited use of your dash ability....

I’ve seen every kind of novelty ice cube tray from Hello Kitty heads to boobs, but usually they don’t elicit much of a reaction from me — they’re going to melt eventually, after all.

Looking at gameplay from the indie-developedBraidis like hearing a beautifully orchestrated rendition ofThe Final Countdown. The song was pretty awesome to begin with, but now? Holy crap.There’s nothing incrediblynewabout it, per se. You jump, stomp on monsters, climb, and to be sure, most of what you’ll see is a direct homage to some of retro gaming’s finest.
