Braid is still considered by many to be one of the best XBLA games to ever get released. It’s combination of challenging time puzzles mixed with an intriguing plat structure and wonderful art easily made it an instant classic. Causality Flux is similar to Braid with regards to the time puzzles.

Causality Flux is a time puzzle platformer. What I mean by that is, essentially, the game is similar to Braid. You control a character who has to solve various time-related puzzles to reach complete. The semantics are different, however, in Causality Flux it doesn’t really appear that you’re simply trying to get to the other level, rather you’re trying to complete a task. One of the examples in the trailer is retrieving a girls kitten from the other side of a spike pit.

The game has a lot to live up to being a time puzzle platformer as Braid set the bar really high. Currently Causality Flux’s graphics look bland and the lack of audio in the trailer really hampers the experience. But the puzzles do look solid and since the game is still in development it has a ways to go before its finished.

I’ll try and dig up more info on the game but since the official site is practically empty I’m not too optimistic. I’ll update when I get something though!
