The second half of the game forces him to face the damage cause by his time manipulation. In the first half of the game, Winterbottom goes about causing untold harm in order to get pies. The levels are divided among five unique worlds each with its own gameplay twist. It's a simple, but clever, game that should have some good replay value. Playing a few levels, I quickly saw that there are numerous ways to solve these puzzles. Or pies may only appear in a specific order, with pie #2 only showing up after you nab pie #1. You may need to hit a timer, which makes the pies appear for a limited time. The earliest levels place pies about and task you with figuring out how to get them in whatever order you need. Some are very minimal, just one or two, but others allow more than a dozen clones at any one time. So while you can create a clone and then swat him across a gap, you could also record yourself swinging your umbrella and have your clone swat you across instead.Įach level has its own set limit of clones that you can have out at one time. Remember, your clone does anything you record. Aside from creating recordings of himself, Winterbottom can swing his umbrella to swat at clones (knocking them about the level) and open his umbrella while in the air to glide. Simple, really, but as the levels grow more complex, you'll have to start using your head to nab all of the delicious pies. Release and the clone appears, performing the actions. Just hold down the Right Trigger to start recording for as long as you like. The clones repeat Winterbottom's actions on an endless loop and are used to solve the 80+ puzzle rooms in the game. Winterbottom can, at any time, record his actions and create clones of himself. Winterbottom has a special gift that involves time manipulation. How can you not love all his old timey phrases, such as, "Applesauce & marmadukes!" Like Tim from Braid, P.B. Designed to have the look and feel of a silent film, Winterbottom is immediately eye-catching and certainly unique. It's stylish, with black & white environments and muted colors on our star character and the object of his affection - pie. Winterbottom could easily become the Braid of 2010.
