Limbo

Anybody else interested in this? I absolutely love the art style on this, which pretty much seems to the be the reason why this was made. But it also looks like a fantastically developed platforming/puzzle game as well. The only thing I'm not too hot on is the price for it. 15 bucks for a downloadable game. I still may pick it up though.


Here's a trailer for it.

    Looks interesting that's for sure. It kinda reminds me of Heart of Darkness for PS1. Not really sure why but it does.

    I've been waiting for this one for a while. Depends on how much I spend on NES crap today before I get home. I'm interested in at least trying the trial for now.

    Hmmm...looks pretty interesting. I'll give the trial a shot.

    Did anyone else click in here thinking the thread was going to be about Otto?

    I'm superstoked for Limbo. The developer has a proven track record, and the price is is nice. 15 bucks for a game that should last 4-6 hours. Cheaper than a movie anyday. Braid and Shadow Complex, after playing think I would have been willing to pay full price for.

    Tried the trial for this last night. It's awesome! I really like the graphics and aesthetic. It seems cute until you step in a bear trap or fall into spikes.



    I got stuck at the spider. I thought maybe I had to drag the box from a few screens back to reach the bear trap in the tree, but it quick saved after the little pond, and I couldn't make it back. I stopped playing at that point, simply because I made up my mind that I'm buying it, so there was no nee to keep playing the demo. Really neat game from what I played.

    No plans for a PS3 release? They must not want my money too much.

    This game got a 9.0/10.0 over on Gamestop, so it must be pretty good. Unfortunately I'll be passing on it for now, just killing time until Madden comes out on August 10th.

    oh man, i was actually looking for a game to play tonight and was
    originally going to unlock blacklight tango down (played through the
    demo last wek). i decided to give the limbo demo a shot first and it is
    seriously awesome. i'm about to download the full game.

    i think i'm going to play some music with it. the silence helps the atmosphere and makes it way more intense when you get killed but i need a little more going on if i'm going to be playing this for a couple hours straight.



    i hope it isn't too short, though. i bought the rocket night game a
    couple weeks ago, and although it was great, it was a little too short
    to warrant the 15 dollar price tag.

    *SPOILERS*

    walk underneath the spiders legs and then run away right before they smash down... this will cause the branch with the bear trap to break, releasing the trap to the ground.

    The game is worth the $ short, but fantastic.

    Think it was like 4 hrs ish to beat. Maybe  5 hrs but really my favorite game i have downloaded on any system. A story would be nice tho

    I downloaded this game a few months ago and i knew it was short so i just played a bit at a time to stretch it out. I finished it last night. I loved this game and i plan on replaying it again and again. The atmosphere was cool and the puzzles were challenging enough to keep me interested. A++

    Is it only for PS? I'd love it, but don't have one.

    Only for 360. Played the demo, I loved it. I'd buy it, but I only want to spend $10 on it.

    I got the 360 triple pack. It has Limbo, Trials HD, and Splosion man. There all pretty fun games.
