I've been really enjoying this game.
http://thebridgeisblackandwhite.com/
(Windows, Xbox360, Android)

It's like you're in an M.C. Escher world solving puzzles. Great atmosphere--lonely and awe-inspiring. Puzzles are solved in a predict-and-try way that DROD people will be familiar with.

The game is obviously inspired by Braid, which is also an incredible game. The mechanics of time reversal and applying physics selectively to different sets of objects are used. I had thought it might be a follow-up work from the Braid author or the artist David Hellman, but... nope.

Anybody else try it yet?

I will check that out.

I also just downloaded another Escher-esque puzzle game called Monument Valley -- you might want to check it out if you haven't already.

I've played The Bridge. (It's also on Mac and Linux.) Great game, and I really like the art style. I'm stuck on the last level of Chapter IV.

Monument Valley is good, too.

I think I'm also on the last level of Chapter 4, but haven't tried the level yet. So technically not stuck yet. The previous levels were starting to get taxing.

Monument Valley is good, too.

I was impressed by the video. Will try it out at some point, I think.

Erik,

thanks for the recommendation: I went to Steam and scored The Bridge for less than $2.

+1 on Monument Valley: a fun diversion, but really easy for seasoned DROD types.

@Lamkin, totally worth finishing that level on Chapter IV. There is an interesting interlude and the puzzles change to something a little different.

If you want a hint on that level...

Thanks for the hint…but I didn't use it. (I'm pretty stubborn about not using hints.) Took me a while but I finally solved it. Totally agree that it was worth finishing that level, yep.
