Braid, Anniversary Edition features a variety of changes and updates to the original release including the following:
-
Improved sound and new mixes and variants of the soundtrack by Martin Stig Andersen (Control, Inside) and Hans Christian Kock
-
Hand-repainted graphics by David Hellman
-
All-new animations for smoother in-game motion
-
Ability to switch back and forth between the old and new Braid on the fly

Extensive developer commentary
The developer commentary, in particular, stands out as a major addition to the Braid experience. The goal of the Thekla Inc. team is to make it the most extensive and detailed commentary in any game, ever. Players can listen to the team offer commentary and insight on puzzle design, programming, visual art, math, history of independent games, and many other topics. Aspiring or interested game designers should find a lot to love in this particular feature and Thekla will be revealing it in more detail closer to launch.
