Yeah and they leave them on the screen for a few seconds longer than you'd expect to make you feel uncomfortable.
It's also rad that there's no loading or levels. It makes the game fairly hard to put down because you're constantly onto the next puzzle.

Possibly Holidays, or next year's Summer of Arcade. I assume it will drop 33% down to $10, but still, another $5 shouldn't break anyone's bank. That's how I look at it at least. I think it's way worth the money.
I wish there was an N-style suicide button, considering only two buttons are used. I was at the end of the
and each time I got it wrong I had to wait until I drowned.

I don't get the d-pad complaint. First of all, it's not a precision platformer where you have to make perfect jumps. Secondly, who in their right mind wants to use the 360's terrible d-pad?
What's funny about the deaths is that I too was initially shocked at the gruesomeness but at the end of the game, after I had died a hundred times, I barely noticed them.

Seriously guys, stop asking for help with puzzles, you'll regret it. And it's only just come out, you can't have been stuck for much longer than five minutes before coming here stuck.
Stop.
Think.
If you can't solve it, stop playing and come back to it later. Solving the puzzles is the game, if you're not going to do them yourself, you may as well just play a game where you just walk left to right and do nothing.
If you do need help, don't be so quick to come here and ask for it, nobody should be that desperate yet.

drag a drowned corpse up a hill and throw it into a pit so it could get crushed, to solve a puzzle.

Stuck at the same part, I can't for the life of me see what I am supposed to do.
But fuck me this is a great game, controls are great, visual style is amazing and the use of gray tones is so well done. The best thing about the game is when you finish a puzzle, you feel so god damn smart after you have done it, which is probably its greatest achievement.
This is the Danish way to rock.
Just put the game down for the time being after playing it for 3.5~4 hours, and it's such a great experience. I've just reached the

The atmosphere is simply amazing, the puzzles are rather well done and I love how it evokes a desire to keep on pushing through just to see what's next. What's more, there's a sense of wonder about the world I'm exploring that I haven't really felt since my first time with Super Metroid.
Easily the best game of its type since Braid.

I am stuck. Spent two 30 minute periods trying.
It's at the part where you first find the switch where

HELP!

I never even though to go there. Thanks!Peff said:
Not really a spoiler at all but just in case:
Anyways, I guess I could put some sort of mini review here:
Pros:
Amazing atmosphere. There are many parts that feel creepy and disgusting but totally in a good way.
None of the puzzles ever felt too annoying. Usually when I have to play a certain part even twice, it makes me crazy. But in LIMBO, they really nailed the difficulty.
My favorite parts were when
This is small but I liked how the movement felt. There was just something very soothing about it.
Cons:
It's short. Took me 3½ hours. This is missing the extra stuff though, just the main run.
I liked how the dramatic music started playing at some parts, more of that would've been nice...
That's about it. Overall I'd give it 9/10 and definitely top 3 downloadable games this gen. Gets up there with Braid and Shadow Complex in my opinion. If you don't buy this, you are a crazy person.
Now a small break and then to
Finished it (I think :lol ) but my completion rate only says 78%? Are there secrets of some sort? Some people have over 100% in the leaderboards.

Should I even bother downloading the trial? Or should I just buy it from the get go? Never mind I just convinced myself to buy it.
