Limbo is a puzzle-platform video game and the premiere title of independent Danish game developer Playdead Studios. The game was released in July 2010 on Xbox Live Arcade. Limbo is a 2D sidescroller, incorporating a physics system that governs environmental objects and the player character. The player guides an unnamed boy through dangerous environments and traps while searching for the boy's sister. The developer built the game's puzzles expecting the player to fail before finding the correct solution. Playdead called the style of play "trial and death", and used visually gruesome imagery for the boy's deaths to steer the player from unworkable solutions.

This looks amazing, but to be honest I think you'd generate much greater profits if you had gone for a pc release, there really isn't so much of an indie audience on the 360, they're all mainstream, playing gaylo aahheemmm *clears throat* Halo.

I am a 360 game and i hate gaylo. But there are a lot of indie gamers on the 360 Or at least most of my friends are. But there would be more sales if it was on PC also
