Ratings and reviews

There are many levels to this puzzle game and it will allow you to restart from last point of progress. Quite morbid, so if you don't mind getting stabbed, shot, drowned, eaten, zombied, squashed, electrocuted, or impaled, OVER and OVER, then this is a great game. The physics are pretty good as things flop and move, and as gravity takes over. The ending leaves a lot to be desired. Otherwise, unique and worth getting for the gamung experience.

Very atmospheric game with a lot of interesting ideas. On mobile I found that it can sometimes be difficult to move quickly, and this sometimes makes the puzzles more difficult. Overall a very good game that I recommend playing in the dark to add to the mood of the game.

Argh, like the album Spiderland by Slint I am now on a lifelong quest to find a game that is as good as this! I've run through it four times and still enjoy the physics of the puzzles, even on a small phone screen. I have since played Inside and found that Limbo has more opportunities for unexpected (and often amusing) deaths whilst Inside is more filmic with a more compelling story but both have strong narrative without any dialogue, hints suggestions or cut scenes. Love, love, LOVE!
