Let's Play Braid - World 4 - Time and Place - Part 1

Visiting his parents home for a holiday meal, Tim felt as though he had regressed to those long-ago years when he lived under their roof, oppressed by their insistence on upholding strange values which, to him, were meaningless. Back then, bickering would erupt over drops of gravy spilt onto the tablecloth.

Escaping, Tim walked in the cool air toward the university hed attended after moving out of his parents home. As he distanced himself from that troubling house, he felt the embarrassment of childhood fading into the past. But now he stepped into all the insecurities hed felt at the university, all the panic of walking a social tightrope.

Tim only felt relieved after the whole visit was over, sitting back home in the present, steeped in contrast: he saw how hed improved so much from those old days. This improvement, day by day, takes him ever-closer to finding the Princess. If she exists she must! she will transform him, and everyone.

He felt on his trip that every place stirs up an emotion, and every emotion invokes a memory: a time and a location. So couldnt he find the Princess now, tonight, just by wandering from place to place and noticing how he feels? A trail of feelings, of awe and inspiration, should lead him to that castle: in the future: her arms enclosing him, her scent fills him with excitement, creates a moment so strong he can remember it in the past.

Immediately Tim walked out his door, the next morning, toward whatever the new day held. He felt something like optimism.

Have you tried time trials? they're really fun, makes you think of the puzzles in new ways

[umbrellashotgunman]

I think there's also a different way to get that key in the "Just Out Of Reach" section; kill the Goomba-esque thing (specifically, the one that you'll eventually need alive to get the key) in order to get to the platform with the really long ladder on it, climb the ladder to the top, jump down to the left and land on the top platform; the Goomba-thing should be back alive now to get the key, and you're now in a position to jump onto the next platform without having to Goomba-stomp anything.

So what happens if you collect the star ?

[maiahi0]

@Oisterboy You have to jump to the left until you want to hit the next platform. when jumping to the right, he dies.

[Oisterboy]

I don't understand how you bounce so many times at 3:50? I jump on it once and it dies?

[owlsighs]

Holy cow! How did you figure all this out? I guess you've played this game before?

"It's all too easy" ...No it's not! ;_;
