New week, new tournament match-up! Before we begin, we have a quick update. It would appear that Shattered Horizon has deftly defeated its opponent, Crayon Physics Deluxe, in our first match-up. Congratulations to Futuremark Game Studios for making it to the round of 16!

OK and now onwards to today’s tournament!

Our first opponent today is none other than Braid, the premiere platform puzzler which took the world by storm in 2008. For those who have heard nothing of it (where have you been?) Braid is a platformer which emphasizes the use of time mechanics to solve puzzles and, eventually, save the “princess.”

On the other side of the ring, however, is one of my personal favorite indie platformers: Runman: Race Around the World. In Runman, you play as a tiny star-like creature, named Runman, who simply wishes to race around thew world (it’s all in the title!). The game is incredibly charming, offers simplistic yet adorable graphics, and features gameplay that is fast and incredibly challenging.

So which will it be? Vote now!
