Well, different strokes, I guess.
w/r/t to your jumping problem: the camera moves in and out a lot, affecting your sense of how wide a given jump is. And momentum is a huge part of jumping, which I love. I honestly think it controls better than any other 2D platformer I've played in a while.
$!Hey, guys, I'm out at dinner with the devs of Limbo, celebrating their success. I brought up this thread on my phone, and they were pleasured as punch. From Peter and Jeppe:
"Reading these replies just brings smiles to our faces; it makes us love developing games for you guys, Thank you so much."
They're sitting right to me. Say hi, GAF!

This has to be one of the best indie games I've ever played. Played through the game from start to finish day 1 after I got off of work. It took me around 4 hours, but I almost didn't even eat dinner because I couldn't put the controller down.
Here's to more amazing stuff from Playdead. =)

You should ask them if there is a 9 and 10th secret egg, shits driving me crazy.Feep said:
I don't do gaming side much these days and haven't heard about this game at all. I decided to check out the recently released XBLA games last night and downloaded this as well as some others.
I was immediately blown away by the art direction and gave up my allards as soon as I ran out of demo. The depth of field and particle effects are beautiful and the game so far has been great with plenty of variety in puzzles and enemies. I never would have believed I'd be so graphically in love with a black and white game.

After I beat this game, I said it was good but overrated. I still say that, but I have to say, this game really leaves a great impression on me, and that is, perhaps, what makes it so powerful. The whole experience--though short and pricey--is addicting, absorbing, and thought-provoking. I like the subtlties of the music and story, but I really think just a little more emphasis on those departments could make Limbo 2 even more excellent.
It is also a game I desire a sequel to. That says a lot, since I usually don't want sequels to original games.

Great game though a bit short.
That
was seriously amazing. When
edit: Oh, and as far as indie games that have fallen off the radar. What the hell happened to Fez? That game looked great.

It got renamed to Fedge, and no one knows what happened after that.

Fedge, huh? I just checked the dev's site and this FAQ was posted 5-20-10.cornontheCoD said:
Q: Is Fez cancelled?
A: Yes. I mean, No.
Q: When is it coming out?
A: Yes.
And wiki says it's an early 2010 title. Hope we see it soon.

The Fez FAQ comments thread is a warzone. :lolsublime085 said:
Managed to get "No Point in Dying" on my third run through. Died 19 times on a casual 2nd run with at least 6 of those on the final jump. :lol Third run I only died twice and finished in 61 minutes. It's not too bad with some practice, just try to be extra cautious around the hazardous areas.
The game is short, but going through the entire game with 5 or less deaths is tense and exciting, which is a very different feeling from a 1st playthrough because the respawn system is so forgiving. Also, the non-achievement eggs seem to be the real puzzle in the game, most are really well hidden. The chapter select feature is appreciated and I've found myself going through sections of the game repeatedly looking for extra eggs or just to mess around.

It was an enjoyable experience, with lovely art, some nice mechanics and fairly well designed levels (apart from the dull last third).
Still, all these "masterpiece" comments are lost on me. I just don't see it. It's certainly good though.
I also appreciate well-designed checkpoints/autosaves. No UI was a good move too.

And that's exactly my perception of value in this case, but apparently some people (not you) get worked up over price/value discussion no matter what. Not everyone is complaining about the length. I almost feel like there are more people complaining or ironizing over complainers than actual complainers.

This game has grown on me. I love the fact that only background music is just you (realtime) breathing and footsteps. It remind me of an old black and white horrible movie. To many surprises.

Yea, I notice the sound... Most of the time, I'm in the zone. When I get a little furstated, I come back to Gaf. It's nice to see all these people on here and somebody reply to my post.
One thing I hate is the eerie music right before you know
to explore.

queued for download, sounds great!
The checkpoints are exceptionally well done and forgiving.ACE 1991 said:
Some of the puzzles can be quite hard. More often than not it works to just leave the game for a while and come back with a fresh mindset. It's very satisfying when you finally get it.
Overall I'd say the difficulty is great and the challenge lies in solving the puzzles.
ACE 1991 said:
It's not very hard. I can't remember getting stumped on any puzzle for more than a few minutes. Much easier than Braid for example, but there are quite a few annoying timing puzzles that you'll have to repeat over and over even though you've already figured out the solution.
Shake Appeal said:
Why not? It's a puzzle game, a second game could add more interesting and challenging puzzles.
Just beat this. I can't say anything that hasn't already been said, but I'll add this much - I had fairly high expectations, almost unrealistic expectations, and I feel Limbo met, and surpassed, them all.
Beautiful game. I hope this sells big, PlayDead deserve it.
