It's too short and thus overpriced at $15*, but I loved the shit out of this game while it lasted. Incredibly atmospheric, inventive, varied puzzles that lie on a good difficulty curve as the game progresses, spot-on hit detection for the platforming aspects of the gameplay, outstanding sound effects (there is no music, but the hiss and crackle of an old filmstrip can always be heard throughout the game). Perfect physics. A ton of attention to detail. If you even remotely liked Braid or old games like Out Of This World or Flashback, you need this.
* May be mitigated by replay value; I've played through it twice already and will play through it again, and I almost never replay games.

how far did you get?service wrote:It's meh. The visual style is phenomenal at first but gets old quick, and gameplay wise it may as well be a free Flash game. Stale mechanics and very predictable puzzles. Doesn't hold a candle to Braid or Shadow Complex.
it's better than braid
i loved braid
it is too short, won't get dlc, that would ruin the idea of the game
*spoiler*
turns out you were dead the whole time, you know, in limbo

my bad
It's not really a spoiler, there is nothing in the game that explicity identifies where you are or what your purpose is. It's simply one (probably correct) interpretation of the game.
Not trying to be smug but I just assumed that was the premise of the game before even playing. I mean, shit, the name of the game is "LIMBO" for crying out loud.
