LIMBO

Very fun and entertaining. I am glad that I got the game on a discount with the new cost of around $0.43 although it is worth the original price. The only complaint I have is that although very simplified from the console version, the moving and jumping is kind of hard to control. I can deal with this though and is not a huge problem since you can get used to it.

I love the gameplay, the atmosphere, and the puzzles, but unfortunately the game is broken. Just after the puzzle where you have to move a trapdoor to obtain a balloon that fits under your little crate so it floats (Chapter 18?), there is a platform with a ladder and two levers. Interacting with the lever below the platform causes the game to immediately crash. It's a shame, because otherwise the game is really 5/5, but the game has to actually run for me to give it a good review.

I normally dislike puzzle/escape room games but I really, really likes this one! Visually interesting in it's simplicity and the puzzles were challenging but solvable. I'll admit I needed a YouTube walkthrough on one or two but managed really well on my own for the majority of the game. The ending was a little anticlimactic but I was glad I made it!

Legit puzzles/platforming. Just about perfect at what it's trying to do. My only complaint is 1 puzzle close to the end (2 giant bricks, a magnet button/light to the right and a generic button/light to the left.... totally arbitrary and silly solution i had to look up on youtube), but other than that this thing is as slick and as dark as a baby seal. I'm hoping for a sequel!

Things have to be done a little too well timed and precise----all that with not-the-best controls. I quit when you must climb a ladder, pull a crate to get it moving and hop on it to reach another ladder while water is rising at a ridiculous rate---just got frustrating and the storyline (which it practically did not even have) was not enough to keep me. I give it three stars just because I got to rip a giant spider's leg off (I suggest you play to that satisfying point and then delete the game).

Super fun game that challenges your expectations of what not only mobile games can be, but what games in general are. Many tropes of games are crushed, and the easy controls are deceptive as the game becomes challenging as you progress. The horror / puzzle combination is great, and there is an overwhelming sense of atmosphere. This isn't your average mobile game. No IAPs or ads. I recommend to anyone who sees this! I'd also like to thank the developers for such a good console to mobile port

Death comes in many forms as you guide the protagonist through creative intense gut clenching puzzles. As entertaining as it's first release years back. I own this game across many platforms and time and time again I try to figure out or remember the puzzles to keep our protagonist alive. Great buy for thinkers. Lacks any form of tutorial levels and leaves players to their own devices to figure out the many creative puzzles. Death is not the end but don't get stuck in Limbo.

First tried the demo on console and didn't feel like I got enough of a feel for the game. Thanks to Google Play Pass (which I got for free w/ Verizon), I was able to play the entire game for free in one sitting. I really hope the devs get a good cut from Google Play Pass because I really enjoyed my time with this game. A nice quick, but not too quick game that felt like an adventure. Not much of a story, but that's ok. Only had to use a guide for 2 spots. Very smooth controls for a mobile game.

Something different and it is good! I really hate it when playing the secret level where I can't see anything but I didn't give up and get to pass through it. Some level are really difficult and need to try a lot of times to get it. For me its like we have to explore the game without clue, either the pause game menu or the gameplay. Fun but got me headache most of the time.

This is a great game. The puzzles aren't extraordinarily difficult, and I think they're just the right level to keep you going at a good pace. My biggest gripe is just about the controls. It would take me half as long to clear a level if I didn't jump by accident instead of leaping. Buttons or anything else would be great. The lighting of the graphics is a bit dark and can be hard to see at times, but I've been able to find all the necessary objects/levers.

Fantastic game, never gets boring, sometimes it would bug out on me but over all the graphics are amazing, the controls are great, animation and color scheme were very fun. I had a great time playing this, I got stuck on a few levels but over all it was a good game. Installed it and finished in a few hours, worth the money. Easy controls to work with, I love that it's simple to know where you are going. 10/10 would definitely recommend spending the money, great game to sit down and play through.

Interesting puzzles set in an atmospheric and haunting environment. My biggest complaint is the weird physics that forces you to solve some puzzles in a very specific way. For instance, when you're affected by reverse gravity while running, your forward motion suddenly stops. It's jarring, and confusing. Aside from that, Limbo is a decent puzzle game.

A variety of increasingly challenging obstacles, some time oriented. Limited visibility adds some complexity, but overall mostly for esthetic. Not super terrifying, or nightmarish, but the game definitely has some grotesque aspects to it. Physics can be aggravating but feel accurate. It can be difficult to distinguish when you are tying to jump and trigger an action with no visible buttons, only a swipe and tap difference. Overall, the game was a lot of fun (&headache), just wish it was longer.

So far, I am enjoying this game. I'm playing it on a UMX phone, model: U683CL with 1 GB RAM. You'll probably need at least 200 MB of free space on the internal storage after installing the game, as the game creates a large cache when it's run the first time. It created a cache of 134 MB on mine. This is probably why some people consider it's stuck at the loading screen. It just takes a long time for the initial loading on some phones. Subsequent loads will be much faster if you don't delete the cache. That is why I've whitelisted it in 1Tap Cleaner. You can jump forward or backward and you can jump straight up. You can also jump while running, which may be necessary to reach farther ledges. Many things in the game can be pushed or pulled. An animation will show suggesting the possibility to grasp something when you are close enough to it and you tap and hold the jump area (on the opposite side from the run/walk side of the screen). Turning off battery optimization for the app and closing apps that are running in the background might help those who are claiming to be having issues with the app closing on its own. I'm on level 15 and it's tough. I'm going to check that sound under my feet when I'm up on the platform near the cogwheels.

Wanted to love it, the dark theme, the atmosphere, simple yet beautiful graphics... But the touch controls are extremely frustrating, I tried connecting my Xbox controller, it is supported but a slight latency is making it just as frustrating. I was looking forward to solving puzzles, instead I'm repeating the same level a dozen times because I die due to a lack of responsive controls. I think I got about half way through the game before leaving it alone, the puzzle weren't that clever, just OK

This was a very fun puzzle platformer. The story is intriguing, and I would play a sequel just to learn more. The game play is challenging but not punishing, and the frequent checkpoints are very good for a first playthrough. I have only one suggestion. I think a hardmode with much fewer checkpoints would be interesting for people who like a harder challenge. Other than that, my only complaint is that it wasn't longer! This is one of very few games I have felt worthy of a descriptive review.

Art direction is top notch. Very dark, and eery atmosphere. The gripe is piss poor controls. You have to die to uncover every puzzle, then die over and over just to get the character to execute each small movement to solve the most basic of platforming feats. Better control would make this a lot more enjoyable. For a game that isn't much fun to play, you may just want to watch a YouTube play through and save 5 bucks.
