POOOOL is perhaps best described as a Suika-like, if you’ve encountered that fruit-combining game on Switch, iOS or Android — but it has incredibly sweet sound effects, supremely satisfying physics, and it’s set in a billiards hall rather than the produce section. Braid is a legendary indie game with a time-control mechanic that allows the player, a little dude named Tim, to navigate platforming worlds in his crisp suit, avoiding obstacles and surviving jumps by rewinding and pausing the action. The more complex levels result in streams of tiny people jumping across huge gaps, falling off ledges, pooling in divots and even swimming through cubes of water, kind of like a deadly, half-synchronized dance.
