Fun game but not worth the effort of starting over every time. My suggestion is to not waste your time downloading the game until the developer acknowledges the issue is fixed. ### 1/5 — Saves Deleted *2025-06-04, version 2.5.1* Same as everyone else, my save files delete whenever the app closes ### 2/5 — Saving doesn’t work *2025-05-29* I’m so used to games auto-saving these days that I neglected to save, so I had to start over… only to find that the save functionality is buggy and I was back at square one for a THIRD time. Ugh. Particularly frustrating since the controls are hard to get used to, making me utterly disinterested in solving some of the more arduous, finger-bending puzzles a third time. A shame since it’s an interesting game — I’d recommend either skipping it or playing through in one long sitting. ### 1/5 — Same bug as everyone else *2025-05-23, version 2.5.1* The save file keeps getting overwritten, and it makes you start all over again. ### 1/5 — PLEASE FIX THE SAVE FEATURE 😭 *2025-04-28* Okay I love this game and all, but you guys need to fix the save feature. If the game resets every time you open it, how are you supposed to make any progress. I’d understand if that was a part of the game, but it’s not. I can’t ever play it unless I plan to finish it in one sitting. Anyway, I’m giving it 2 stars until this is fixed. ### 1/5 — Saves keep deleting *2025-04-26* Keeps deleting any progress including the cloud when you fully close the game ### 2/5 — Very difficult to maneuver the character *2025-04-11* Very difficult to maneuver the character. Makes the game a drag to play. ### 1/5 — Won’t save :( *2025-03-25, version 2.5.1* The file keeps being over written and all data erased. Don’t bother getting invested because if you stop it restarts the level. I reached out to their customer service and they cant/don’t bother restoring the older save. ### 1/5 — Saving broken *2025-03-10* The save system does not work, it will wipe your progress each time you start the game. ## Frequently asked questions about Braid, Anniversary Edition ### What is Braid, Anniversary Edition?
