  • This game is quite THE GAME!... I can't believe this is an indie game... well, no, actually I can believe it. It's Amazing!

  • I just beat the game. TOO MANY METAPHORS

  • @luiskaca You missed one of the previous 7 stars. Go back and get them all, then you will get green levers.

  • the last star , i cant catch, the crank isnt gren , what i have to do , to it stay green?

  • "There is no achievement for collecting all the stars, simply an extra challenge." its not true. You can't catch princess without 7 stars

  • I just tried to rewind the video by holding down shift.

  • 太经典了!!

  • i got the on on 2-2 ,i love you cheat engine :D

  • "You have to wait for 2 hours untill you can get this star."

    Yea... this game is fun and all, but sitting on my chair for 2 hours? No thanks...

  • @MCdahaka haha yeah god dammit my thoughts exactly! as much as i love hidden content and challenge... this is still where i draw the line! :D

  • Almost instantly had a headache. Well played, sir.

  • This is a brilliant game, but there is a sharp distinction from something challenge and ridiculously obscure. The existence of the 8 stars falls to the latter for the most part. I can honestly see no reasonable gamer assume their existence/location without some sort of preconceived knowledge from the internet. The "books" at the beginning of each level would of been a great way to allude to some of these secrets. But with no prior knowledge of these stars, coincidence had a big role.

  • My God...a YouTube comment with correct spelling and punctuation? No swearing or abbreviations? Well thought out, considered and with purpose? Congratulations Sir / Madam - 10 points to you!

  • @ieatatoms Haha, thanks, though I should of said *challenging*. Anyways, it really frustrated me that I had to look up this video to know about the stars. I hate reading up hints for games and sacrificing the fun factor and reward. But this games makes the optional puzzles WAY too difficult to even discover in the first place to be labeled as "cleaver". The mechanics in this game are gold, and I wish to of seen some more elaborate puzzles without aimlessly wondering and hoping to find them.

  • wait wait wait... you have to get the star in the house before completing anything else?...... BALLS!

  • how the fuck do people find this stuff

  • @Mistahboohtz12 Boredom and too much time on their hands.

  • I love how you split this video up. Good thinking!

  • help!!!! i got almost all.. two i cant, in the house and 4.7 (i hate the fuck*g key going enywhere) and in the last world (1-1) the labers(?) (palancas (im native spanish)) are afected by time... maybe yuo must have the other 7?? help please !!!!!

  • DAT-IS-IMPOSSIBLE!!!!!! =/////////////////

  • I almost pass the World 6 only 1 jigsaw but..

    Whattttt Star in House is Shit !!!!

    I need to start everything again ?

    Tell me it's true? or u have technic to get star in the house when u pass that jigsaw world 3?

  • @Darkchabuti If you move the whole puzzle down and over to the right enough to jump on that ledge like you do to get the puzzle piece in the game you can jump and stand on it. then jump again while standing on it and when you're at the top of your jump go to solve the puzzle, press b if on xbox, and move the puzzle up, then repeat untill you are high enough to get the star.

  • "Please, please try getting the stars yourself first..."

    As much as I applaud this video and your efforts, as well as this brilliant game, I disagree with this. These stars are difficult to get even if you do know where they are. I didn't even know the game had stars until someone else told me. I don't mind seeing someone else do it, instead of spending many hours for a part of the game that is totally superficial and not nearly as interesting as the central part. Too much of a departure.

  • @Jotto999 I agree, I don't think I could have done it without help. It was last year that I did it, though, so I can hardly remember doing it. Some of the star puzzles, once you know where they are, are easier than others, though, and it's also worth noting (the video didn't) that you can't get the Level 1-1 star unless you've got every other star already.

  • and i thought i was outsmarting the game by getting the puzzle pieces

  • Every time I do this the key teleports down to the cannon, not to the 2nd floor where he's patrolling. This is impossible!!!

  • this is horrible :S the hardest game ever i think :S

  • @Chimairamania and best game ever too. just the music made me play this again, that's how good it is.

  • @Nitrozzy7 but tim dont wanna save the princess...

  • so there's no way to get the house star if you already completed the puzzle???

    damn... doing everything again...

  • who would even take the time to figure this shit out. ididnt even kno that this game even had stars!!smfh

  • Seeing the house star and the one at the cloud bridge, i have come to the conclusion that you can't figure these things out by yourself without spending 200 hours on the game or being one of the developers... this guy is good at explaining but i don't believe he found them all without help

  • I just... fuck that shit.

  • in ps3 version do you need this stars for any trophy?! i don't get the point collect stars for what?! :x

  • @alexnoiz You collect the stars for bragging rights.

  • The last scene makes me think that saving the princess is possible. I think that cause if you don't go for the last star and proceed normally, on the reversed way, there's a moment where you can access a ladder. Unfortunately by the time I saw it, it was already behind me. Although I don't know if it'll allow you to climb it since the time is frozen by default on the way back.

  • Please tell me what the name of that song in the background is? Bee-you-ti-ful

  • @ripley6688 The theme is called Downstream and it's by Shira Kammen.

  • fuck i jump to the cloud and i go to a party, i get home and now i have to wait 45 minute to go back in time....

  • ok i can't go back so i have to start again yeah....

  • In level 6-5 there is no need to go to the right ramp above the cannon. You can jump straight to the left ramp using 2 goombos. This ramp only gives you vision but it is really not needed when you know where to jump.

  • Just finished the game not knowing about the stars either! ARGH!

  • are the stars really worth getting?? You've already told me i need to start the game again just to get the 1st one. And for the second i have to wait 2 hours?? Blow that

  • @flmks no dude, that's what the game wants to say, the obsession to get this stars shows how bad the people on the world are...

  • @Psyblader501 ahh right. Wow this game is deep! Like no other that i've played

  • @flmks yeah you can interpret what you want, there are so much things

  • What? Are you kidding me? I got to restart the game from the beginning just to be able to get the first star? Who came up with this f***ing idea? I even knew about the stars before playing the game but I decided to finish it before trying this harder challenge. Something requiring advanced skills shouldn't be done when you're just learning how to play the game. I spent so many hours playing just for nothing. I won't ever play it again. I'll watch the end here.

    Thanks to Blow for this shit.

  • Cant climb that falling ladder... whyyyyy

  • All stars are on the sickest levels of the game. >_<

  • easier to watch than done.. i hate that i had to restart the game to complete this :/

  • How in crap's name did ANYONE figured this out?

  • can u call this thing a 'GAME'?

    this thing was einstein's homework.. lol

  • You're a little bitch for trying to guilt-trip people.

  • What is this, I don't even...

    So I have to beat the game again, or watch the ending on YouTube. :O

  • Wait a minute... there's stars?!?!?

  • I quit watching before you told me how to find them.

  • @Monuver not true, I got onto it with the goomba.

  • I've beaten the game and arranged all the puzzles, but I didn't get the star in the house before I did. Now I'll never truly beat this game. Great...

  • @thepwnnerofnoobs There's always playing it again.

  • Amazing !!! tanks a lot

  • for goomba double jumping you can just stop time

  • Another helpful tip: Rather than rewind/playing to time things, you can just FREEZE time. This can be done by hitting the time warp (shift on PC, don't know the 360 command) and hitting up once.

  • 6-5 DOES NOT need a double-jump for the first move: Just jump from the cannon onto a single goomba and you'll make it.

  • CORRECTION TO CLOUD STAR SOLUTION AHEAD:

    Johnathan Blow has changed the level so the goomba solution no longer works. To get on the cloud, you must enter the level from the right side, run all the way to the left side, and wait for the cloud to reach the locked door. Then, you jump off of the locked door and on to the cloud.

  • Comment removed

  • That one with the pictures sucked because now i have to cart a new game to get them all.

  • Comment removed

  • Really useful and well done, thanks.

  • Are there people on earth who knew by themselves that there were stars to look for and found out all by themselves where and how ?

    If yes, please gimme a rope.

  • @ElFeilasouf [ joining the curiosity ]

  • yeah ill try ill return to this video later!

  • I skipped trying!! :D

  • The whole star thing is fucking wierd. Read this article:

    YouTube doesn't allow links, so switch out the "," with "."

    Scroll down to find the one about Braid.

  • lol in my version i cant do the star in 1-1 because the lever doesnt glow green... any hints?

  • @dschinni I think you need all of the stars (or at least a few, idk) before doing that one, since with the lever you need green reveals important part of the secret story.

  • @dschinni same with me

  • this game was great, really touching, more like this. cant wait for limbo on ps

  • I really like this game and I'm proud that I could finish it, but...

    THIS IS JUST SICK!!!!

    I'd never have patience do try even ONE of them!!!!

  • And I thought The Neverhood tested your patience...

  • A MORTAL CANT DO THESE !!!

  • You are A GENIUS! thx a lot for the help...

  • I just finished it today after buying it for cheap from PSN+, and i honestly didn't even know there were stars in this game. I actually felt quite proud of myself getting all the puzzle pieces and thought i was quite skilled at the game.... until i saw this that is.

  • In all honesty.. knowing that I played through the entire game as a loser doesn't make me in any way willing to replay it just to see an equally negative ending.. Way to push positivity game developers!

  • Sorry, I didn't get any of the stars but I watched the whole thing. I already completed the game without a guide, I don't think I can handle any more mind rape D:

  • this is great, i love how you don't just give out the complete answers right away, but give helpful hints so we can at least feel like we did something

  • Hey hmm for the star in the house you CAN do it even if the puxxle is complete. you jump then you press O, you move up the puzzle and youll be a step higher..

  • Does the switch in the last level of the first world only work when you have every other star?

  • I, like many others, completed the game with no stars, so I tried to get the stars with just the clues, but found nothing, so then I thought that I'd just watch a few answers to get an idea on how it's done. But when I saw every answer, and my reaction was "Fuck no! I do not play games like that! there is no way in hell I'd find any of these on my own!" I'm not even sure I want to even attempt some of them.

  • 3:15 looks awesome.

  • if you're playing on a pc the way to get the 2nd star is to press alt+enter so you can still use your computer. while the game is picked the mouse doesnt work, but i prefer watching a movie while putting the player always on top. make the two hours fly... not really but ur not looking at the screen the whole time though =)

  • for the 2nd star the cloud is so fast! i've lost only 2-3 hours of my life to wait ._.

  • For some reason my video just stopped at 2:31.

  • 2 hours?? What maniac did this game??? %)

  • John Blow is a wanker for doing this

    an amazing, revolutionary, genius wanker, but a wanker nonetheless

  • I quit watching the video.

  • @StratoCatser me two...and i havent played in over a year

  • From previous reading, I knew the princess exploded.

    Didn't expect 11:42

    **click** pweeeoooooBOOOOM.

  • is this guy talking Jon Lajoie ?

  • If they ever release a patch that gives you an extra trophy/achievement for unlocking all the stars, I'll do it. As it is, I could only be bothered getting three of them (the one in the house, the first one with the plants and the one where you and your shadow juggle the goomba). It seems a bit pointless otherwise, especially since if you start a new game or even a speedrun you lose your stars anyway.

  • stars rly does nothing?

    i found some by accident and i thought that they are important for finishing game...

  • @WolneRzartY if you collect all of them they allow you to touch the princess making the atomic bomb sound.

  • there are 2 that take 2 hours...

    Cloud Bridge and Fickle Companion!

  • Wow, I completed the game without even seeing a star.

  • @Transsive i completed it too without seeeing one......

  • @Transsive i saw one but i didn't really care xD haha

  • me too, bummer bout the first one, i already completed all levels, ouch

  • wtf, didnt understand at 9:50...

  • @yudomax He is making the bunny jump a few times in the correct spot so he'd have more room for error when he needs to bounce off it.

  • IM JUMPING STRAIGHT TO THE SOLUTIONS LOLOLOLOLOLLOLOLOLOL

  • You can also use the exit door to re-enter the stage and stand on top of the unlockable door. That allows you to just jump onto the cloud as it passes by. Either way works of course.

  • 2:46

    OK, I appreciate that the enjoyment of the game really comes from figuring this stuff out for yourself, but COME ON! How the fuck were we ever supposed to figure that shit out?

  • Jesus Christ I didn't know there was stars so then I began looking for them for days then I watched the beginning of this vid where he says in this snap shot part of the star was visible I paused the vid and tried for hours. Then I watched a bit where he says the puzzle has to be incomplete and I about committed suicide

  • Actually, having just watched the shit you have to go through to get them all I 'aint even going to bother...not without breaking something.

  • @Soopytwist yea man, the star at cloud bridge makes me want to smash something. I just got on top of the cloud and its been 1 hour

  • So I completed world 3 jigsaw before I knew there were stars in the game. So now I can't get all the stars is that what you're saying? Isn't there a way to undo the jigsaw?

  • There would be a star on fickle companion! hehe

  • Actually in the 2-hours-cloud level you can jump on the cloud with more ease -

    Just go past the level into the next and return throught the same door - the lock at the beginning of the stage will remain locked. Jump on it first and then on the slow cloud.

  • I didnt even know there were stars

  • I a) didn't even know there were stars on my first play-through and b) TWO HOURS?! Who the hell has two hours to just leave their computer on while Tim slowly goes across the level on a cloud? I can understand tricky jumps or complex puzzles, but that's just asinine.

  • I was so happy when I completed the game then I watched videos, read about the game, and I was just "What kinda fucking stars people are talking about"?!

  • @RatmanXX same =D well, this time ill probably understand something more about the story =/

  • fickle companion SUCKED.

  • @iansquared3 oh it would have been pissing off if there weren't any killer levels :D

  • @iansquared3 i hated that level

  • funny thing is i seen spots where i was like wow it seems like i can get up there.. it would be cool.. but i already got the puzzle so its time to move on... only way i would consider this silly adventure is if a platinum trophy was involved.. F that... you heard?/ hahaha

  • @tavbf

    I was thinking the same way. Though, I my play again just for the speed run and the stars. Otherwise, I don't really care enough. It was a journey I was interested in, and it was a journey completed.

  • didnt even know you can get stars.. why.. haha

  • The one at 4:00 is the hardest...

  • the heck, I havent seen some of those levels ;o

  • It took me half an hour just to get on the cloud in 2-2. 2 more hors to go.

  • Ok, i made the puzzle for world 3, so... bye bye. Shit.

  • Normally I love riddles, but this star-hunt is just stupid, so thanks for the video ;-)

  • wow, i beat all the main puzzles by myself but I am so glad i didnt bother trying for the stars, they are so cryptic I would have no chance. good vid!

  • Totally not worth the effort.

  • Gimmie a freakin break! How the hell were these even discovered?!?

  • also, in 1-1 when u have to rewind to go back to the beginning there are 3 extra ladders that go up to the level where the princess is, on the playthrough i pressed up on the location where one of these ladders would be so that when i rewinded tim(e) would go up the ladder, but when he got to that ladder on the rewind, tim(e) didn't go up the ladder, he just stared upwards as if there was no ladder. does anyone know why these 3 ladder were placed in the rewind if they can't be used? purpose?

  • @an0nym005e To make it look like Tim would have climbed up the ladder to get to the "princess" if she hadn't dropped them or blocked them. Otherwise, it doesn't make sense when you reverse.

  • How the heck do I jump on the puzzle pieces?

  • @CwisyLiu There is a hidden platform in the first world puzzle, it's the table the wine is on.

  • 6-5, it's easier if u sync up the plants and then stop time when they are all down

  • I admit I watched the solutions before I even tried to find them, but i don't feel so bad anymore since I probably wouldn't of found them anyway after watching the solutions >.>

    I could have found the one in the house though, but I just couldent find it and it was because I solved world 3 already.

  • Hell-hell-hell! Unachievable (for me). What a hard puzzle Braid is.

  • Full explanation of the first star: 02:38

  • what is the point of these stars? is there an additional scene or something fi you collect them all?

  • @crimsonflare506  Yes. The princess explodes! :) yay

  • EXPLODINATE!!!!!!!!

  • АААААААААААА!!! АФИГЕННЫЙ РОЛИК!!! Я НАШЁЛ ВСЕ ВСЕ ЗВЁЗДЫ ! )))

  • I think my game is glitched. At the end, the chandelier takes me up, and after the bomb I end up on the ground. I can't run left because it's blocked off, and if I run right I fall off an impossibly high wall which I can't jump up to.

    All I can do is climb up to the princesses window and watch her sleep.....

    or exit the level and try again.

  • @boswell255

    You need to hold Up during the white-out.

  • @Groudon0199 Thanks, I got it after the eighth go or something :P I kept falling through the middle too, so if anyone else is having this problem, aim for the edges of the chandelier.

  • pls help.. i alrdy finnished the first puzzle.. how can i get the first star then? :(

  • @MoechtegernPimP start a new game :o

  • @MoechtegernPimP

    It's possible, i did it.

    You can move the puzzle down and jump on it,

    then jump again and press up (on pc),

    move again the puzzle until you reach the top,

    the jump and get the star.

    But i think that you already resolved it right?

  • @MoechtegernPimP You can't get the star in the puzzle for world 3 if you finished the puzzle, because you have to take two pieces and put them next to eachother and you can't do that if the puzzle is solid. For world two, you can move the puzzle around after solving it, so just move it down far enough to jump on it. Then jump, edit the puzzle in midair, move the puzzle up, and then land on the now higher platform. :)

  • So what happens when you get them all?

  • @sparks158

    As you can see, the princess explodes, and you can see a "constellation" image formed by the stars.

  • @JohnnyLeyenda I can't decide if I like the princess story or the atomic bomb story better.

  • @sparks158

    To be honest, I noticed some hints at the Atomic Bomb theory the first time I played the game, but I think it goes deeper than that. It actually made me realize how my own "princess" is always in another castle. I must keep looking then.

  • @JohnnyLeyenda ooh. I like that.

  • The people who designed these puzzles are freaking brilliant! O_O

  • Comment removed

  • of all the horsecrap your's is the only useful and good one. thanks for the walkthrough

  • on cloud bridge 2-2 when waiting for the cloud to go across you can't alt tab and play around in windows, it pauses the game. in case anyone is wondering why it's taking longer then 2 hours

  • @Japbecois - You can command+tab the braid screen to the back on OS X and it still runs so you can do other things while you wait the 2 hours. Well on OS X that is.

  • I got 3 without the tail end of this video, and I know about 1 but am too lazy to get it as of yet (its the 2 somthing hour one) But thanks for the other 4!

  • @kikkeruddabut Yeah, that's what we in the business like to call illegal!

  • 11:40 TIME PARADOX!!!!1!!1!1111!!11!

  • Comment removed

  • i got all the stars and then i thought to myself "why did i waste my time on such a stupid shit?" lol

  • I did the whole game on my own but could'nt figure out the stars, now that I know how to get them I'm not even going to try, waiting 2hrs just to get 1 stupid star is not worth it. Great game but those stars are for the obsessive only!

  • Comment removed

  • @s1212241044 sure, you did it, but many people can't. It is enough of a challenge to reach the stars let alone FIND THEM. For many people, knowing through these videos that it is entirely possible to do challenges like this is the only way people can know that this is possible, and to be honest, solving something near impossible like this is gratifying enough. Take your narcissism somewhere else where it doesn't kill the morale of gamers who deserve this motivation.

  • Though I doubt anyone will listen to my advice ill give it anyways, finding the stars yourself is much more gratifying. Solving the puzzles to get the stars yourself is soo much more gratifying. You paid for a PUZZLE GAME so you can solve them, NOT so someone else can solve it for you. Get your moneys worth, and if you get stuck all the better. The game will last that much longer. If I could do it, you can do it.
