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 one looks really awesome! The environment is built exactly like I want a game to look like. Too sad, that it is only for X360, because I don't have one...

The art style is amazing, so are the physics and general sound/audio. All in all, top notch stuff. I am insanely jealous :) lol

That is amazing... This is easily the best platformer I've ever seen on here.
