LIMBO Game is a black-and-white puzzle platformer originally released on Xbox Live Arcade in 2010, featuring mysterious monochromatic graphics and horrific bizarre environment. In the game, your mission is to guide an unnamed boy through a weird forest in seek of his missing sister. Without any text and dialogue, the game lets you communicate with the environment, wisely utilize the objects available, and overcome hazards and traps to solve increasingly interesting and difficult puzzles.

    Great game it is addicting and will sometimes surprise you but I wish it was longer! Hope there are some more levels in the next update.

    The controls can be unresponsive at times. Sometimes you swipe up or up and across but nothing happens or you may be running and all of a sudden.

    I am not a gamer and never heard of or played this game before and with no instructions anywhere jumped right in and started playing. Very impressed with this game.

    The graphics look absolutely gorgeous on the iPad. The controls are incredibly smooth and intuitively simple. Definitely a must-have game on iOS, and worth multiple playthroughs.

    I had an issue with crashing previously, but now it works. By the way, this is an AWESOME GAME!

For those of you who have already completed Limbo on a different platform, you already know whether or not you like Limbo. If you're still reading, I imagine your decision comes down to how good the port is. The art and sound are still as great as ever. The controls are surprisingly good. Like, "I wish this is how most iOS platformers controlled" level of good. I love that there are no virtual controls to lose or mispress because you can touch the screen anywhere (except the top-left corner, which is where an invisible pause button sits). While I don't think touch controls will ever be better than physical controls for a platformer, these come pretty close and the ability to swipe sideways to jump sideways honestly made some of the jumps easier than in the Xbox version. What else can I say? It looks the same, sounds the same, and plays the same. I really enjoyed returning to the world of Limbo, immersing myself into it, and laughing out loud whenever a trap I'd forgotten got the best of me. Read More about Limbo Review
