    Game » consists of 4 releases. Released Feb 17, 2010

    Enter a macabre and comical silent film world filled with mischief, time travel, and delicious pie.

    I'm not expecting myself to be on the top of them because I really don't care about retrying levels over and over until I get the perfect time but some of the times seem absurdly fast. 4 seconds on gotta snatch them all? I don't see how you can even be on the left side of the screen that fast. 
    Same with The Blue Brothers. I really can't see there being more then one way to finish this level and even when I seem to do everything perfect I'm still looking at a low 7 second time. I could see someone doing this in 6 seconds if they kept trying for a perfect run but it seems impossible to me to do everything you need to do in less then 5 seconds.

    A lot of Braid's and Portal's best speed runs seem impossible, too.

    Your assumption that you need to get to the left hand side of the screen on Gotta Snatch 'em All is wrong.

    typical online scoreboards...you think you're awesome at a game only to have some 9 year old in germany completely obliterate your best time by miles.

    You give certain people Time and Options, and crazy things will happen.

    Woah - I had to watch that 3 times to get what the hell happened.

    I'm not one for time trials etc. so will probably just complete these once and move on but I do love the personality this game displays, even if the difficulty curve seems a bit out of whack on the main story challenges

    I beat my record for the tricky "Water Whirled" level, down from 1:05 to 26.7 seconds.

    Ive played the trial in this game and It seems like you need to do things differently then you normally would in order to get high leaderboards scores

    Leaderboards?  Online?  Legit? 
     
    I think those three words are incapable of co-existing in the same sentence EVER!

    Some levels are easy. Eg at "Pie Blue Heaven" everyone can make the perfect score (including me :P). If you see the first 3 people have the same time. Btw why isnt this game's achievement on giantbomb yet? It take some days?
