Limbo for iOS

Limbo was one of the few games I finished last year and I played it on my lovely 27" iMac. I like the idea of games, I just don’t like the time commitment they require. But Limbo kept my attention until the end and I’m glad I finished it.

Today, Limbo is out for iOS as a universal app ($5).

Limbo is a puzzle platformer but has a slow and considered pace. The story telling is compelling and delivered solely though subtle silhouettes in the background of the game. It’s not photo-realistic or hyper-colored cell shaded. It is black, white and grey. There’s no lasers or tanks, but there are difficult logic puzzles and moments of tension.

I plan to play it again.
