I think my favorite thing about this game is when something mechanical is activated, you can't quite tell if the sound it makes it a musical swell or not. It just sounds so damned foreboding.
@SuperLOLBrothers The worm only lets you move one way. Notice the tilt the screen has when it hits the boy. And the thing on top eats the worm, so you are free to move again.
@rtl4x4 You can do it by moving the ladder to the right instead of the left. That gives you time as it swings left to climb the ladder and jump up to the left. Then wait for it to swing right, then left - hit the switch as it gets to the top of it's swing left. It's a lot easier than starting it to the left and trying to climb/jump in a second :)
@trapindown You need to let the gear gain some momentum when you switch it. So when you push it up, jump quickly and the gear will move up just a bit still.
Collect that and you get the Backtracking achievement/trophy. You don't have to go back like HDShadow did to get that. After removing the glowing head parasite, you can actually just climb up to the platform to the right and skip that glowing orb. You obviously wouldn't get the achievement/trophy though (unless you've already gotten it on a previous playthrough of course).
@Gamelunatic1992 I dunno if I'd want a sequel, but Playdead is working on something new. They said it's not Limbo, but you'd recognize that you can easily be: "hey! that looks like a game the limbo guys made."
5:29 - I love that music!!! It was so perfect for that time!!! It made me want to cry cause it reminded me of the harshness of this world and how amazing it is that you escaped a horrible death. THIS IS THE BEST GAME I'VE EVER PLAYED. PLEASE SOMEONE MAKE A SOUNDTRACK FROM THIS!!!
@TheBJJPrincess Possibly! I wouldn't mind a sequel. Then again, it might not have that same spark that this game did. Either way, I would love to see a co-op puzzle game from them next!
@HDShadow: well, you're mostly right. IWBTG does have some puzzle-like elements with timing, though. I mean, those puzzles are not trivial, but most certainly doable.
@baraa012 Make sure you get some momentum when going upwards. Let the gear move clockwise fast enough so that when you hit the lever and jump on the gear will still be moving upwards ever so slightly.
@ipx1234 I don't know if I would compare Limbo to IWBTG. This is a lot more puzzle based rather than hectic-everything-is-being-thrown-at-you platformer.
@davitodude Got it, it only took me three tries. I recommend starting off around mid-game and getting warmed up on the harder puzzles. When I got the achievement, I died once and not one of them was on the whole last half.
@TheFreeOnlineGamer if you look at the person, there was a line thing, IT was a trap, there seem to be alot of "people traps" in this game.... yea its sad....
@OrphanSeasun Randomness of game controls? I didn't see any of that, the buttons operated pretty much I expected them. There aren't many combinations of buttons to press either. Of course, I didn't count all of the attempts on all of the puzzles, some might have taken 7-10 tries (is this even important?). But it's nowere close to an hour of struggle. The two actually hard timing puzzles just can't be compared with The Barrel as I was saying - I got them on the second try.
@QuantumFluxable I'm late and I imagine you probably already got your answer, but you should be able to jump off using the action button, if I recall correctly. I'm not too sure.
@conman2317 It's similar just as far as the character design. Seriously, the walkthrough on TH-cam isn't going to be as neat, obviously. The game thrives on its environment. Ambient sounds, creepy people, all of that factors in. Not so much a basic platform game, really.
to short of a game, i thought i wasted my money, on top of it all its virtually a re-make of nevermore, and nevermore is free to play and its in color.
Limbo (Latin limbus, edge or boundary, referring to the "edge" of Hell) is a speculative idea about the afterlife condition of those who die in original sin without being assigned to the Hell of the damned. Basically Limbo is Purgatory.... Don't ask me why they named the game that oO
@korea92 Oh hell no dude. Took me awhile the first run through. I wanted to beat the game so I can go through as smoothly as possible for everyone to sit through.
@conman2317 The color argument is kinda lame. If this game was in color, it would feel a lot less cool. And running through again, I'm getting my money's worth.
9:31 - tried at least a hundred times, I can't jump from the ladder to the platform. I managed to make the jump if I climbed onto the ladder at the other end and it swung over, but then I couldn't do the part after that.
Err, no offence intended, but you guys sound like you never tried old platformers (or IWBTG at least). This game is not so easy, but it's nothing compared to that. I got through all of the puzzles in no more than 2-3 tries. I remember The Barrel from Sonic 3. I didn't know it could be operated by UP&Down controls and always when through it by jumping. THAT was fucking hard momentum timing.
@ipx1234 The puzzles are not too bad, but claiming you got through ALL the game's challenges in no more than 3 tries in an outright lie. The nature of unfamiliarity, timing, and randomness of game control alone would not allow it. Unless of course you're a Johnny Na'pal...and I'm not discounting that.
8:29 is the hardest fucking bullshit ever encountered. fucking so god damn annoying. tming the gear to be able to jump on it. i even tried to mock this very moment and its not fucking working
OMG THIS STUPID 8:32.....I JUST CAN'T DO IT !!! I SPENT 2 HOURS TRYING IT !! IT JUST WON'T WORK !!!! DUDE I EVEN TRIED TO DO THE SAME STEPS AS YOU, THIS STUPID CREATURE WON'T JUMP TO THE LADDER !! XD HELP

When I play this game it makes me want to listen to NIN ghost I-IV while playing it. I can't be alone on this one. Sweet uploads by the way!
Oooooh that part with the 2 rotating saws, and you're hanging from the chain, while the entire machine-thing is turning... nerve-wracking as hell!

@Akraz Give the gear some momentum when you hit the lever. Notice how if you do that when you hop on the gear, you'll be lifted up a bit more.
@wisesonsam Doesn't kill you. It makes it so that you can only walk one way until you burn it with light.
@trapindown You need to let the gear gain some momentum when you switch it. So when you push it up, jump quickly and the gear will move up just a bit still.
Best Indie Game ever made. Sequel will be Greatly appreciated :D
My God this game is so wonderful...!
Well done in the walkthrough too - cheers!

@CaptainGoofysstash Are you letting the gears gain momentum? Make sure to give the gears some time to move up even after hitting the lever.

you can turn the brightness up mind . it wont kill you .

Up and the direction you want to go work for me [in fact, I tend to hold left or right and he jumps when I want to climb!]
@Akraz Its not to Hard keep the level !tilt! untill the cog is in the middle or litle over and jump carefully :)
9:32 is my nemesis. Been 30 mins at it, managed to make the jump once and screwed up everything else. I want to cry.
Thank you for the help, I really appreciate it :D
Is this your first playthrough? because you're not making many mistakes...
OK I just e-mailed Playdead and they have confirmed that there will be a LIMBO soundtrack. Hooray for music!
@Snapscape I think the fact that it's short helps that.
@ipx1234 I don't know if I would compare Limbo to IWBTG. This is a lot more puzzle based rather than hectic-everything-is-being-thrown-at-you platformer.

Wow, this game actually has awesome graphics.. IMO.. it's also pretty gory.. and creepy.

@mrAnothernumber Actually. That's a GREAT idea. I love that album. I'll try that soon! And thanks!
The part with the sister made me so sad... :(
@QuantumFluxable I'm late and I imagine you probably already got your answer, but you should be able to jump off using the action button, if I recall correctly. I'm not too sure.
@TheZushi Whoops, I must've been half asleep posting that. No, a worm falls on your head and you walk the other way.
@player1vladimir It forces you to travel in one direction.
@conman2317 It's similar just as far as the character design. Seriously, the walkthrough on TH-cam isn't going to be as neat, obviously. The game thrives on its environment. Ambient sounds, creepy people, all of that factors in. Not so much a basic platform game, really.
what the heck is that glowing thing that keeps getting stuck in your head? Does it kill you?
please respond
what is that at 8:20 that you collect/break ? there is another one in the dark in part 4/7 of you're walkthrough ... check comment there
8:22. What does the white thing do? I missed that when I did it.
to short of a game, i thought i wasted my money, on top of it all its virtually a re-make of nevermore, and nevermore is free to play and its in color.

@korea92 Oh hell no dude. Took me awhile the first run through. I wanted to beat the game so I can go through as smoothly as possible for everyone to sit through.
@ecstasyvic It's all about momentum.
@whitecheese9 yeh I know... I've beaten the game a few times now
what is this thing which gets stuck in his head?
does it affect the gameplay?
@TheFreeOnlineGamer Yep! Sad, eh?
wait, at 6:23 you see someone but a worm falls over your head, then when you come back, the whole place has changed??
@willito215 Hurry in what? If you're looking for the rest, the other walkthroughs are up on my channel.
So how do I jump off the chain at 2:43 ? My character always moves up the chain as up key is jump and climb up.
me too, but don't give it away
at 7:10 how do you hang on with out completely climbing up.
what do the headcrabs do?
@rtl4x4 Time your momentum if you haven't gotten it yet.
@HDShadow Play nevermore 3 which came out way before this, and tell me if they copied the concept or not.... colour shmolor i just through that in
@rtl4x4 That part gets frustrating, but once you finally do it, you're like... THAT'S ALL I HAD TO DO!? lol
...8:40....I was stuck last nite at that point for 20 mins....I left and went to bed...will try in a few mins again..... :(
@96Iheb There's no need to watch a walkthrough of that, is not that hard to get xD
@96Iheb Nope. This is the first walkthrough of Limbo on TH-cam :P This is my second run of the game and I forgot what to do at some places.
Hmm wonder why this vid suddenly started playing, I`ve had it on pause for some hours now and was doing stuff in other tabs o_O
Spooky :P
Ty.
the worm thing that gets stuck to your head gets old and annoying, fast... stupid that they put it in throughout the frickin game
Timing those gears to jump on it and to the ladder is HORRIBLE! I still can't do it even following this vid! Isn't there some other way?
I was like: NOOOO PRINCESS!!!!
super gierka!!!!!1

@TheFreeOnlineGamer that could be his sister!!!!
And they what? Lived happily after??? I want to know!!!
trippy part!!
6:20 I found her yes this is finally over :-) *worm sticks to his head* Fuck !! Not Again !!! Goddammit !
@HDShadow
Or have it eaten by a bird
dude hurry up. your killing me right now

@renoo27 thanks for the info :)
I found it ironic that i got it on the first try (3
THE PART AT 7:44....IMPOSSIBLE...
9:32 is impossible. I just spent an HOUR trying to do it and I can't.
@ipx1234 The puzzles are not too bad, but claiming you got through ALL the game's challenges in no more than 3 tries in an outright lie.

THAT FUCKING MOBILE LADDER.
jak sie skacze/?
strzałka do góry
@baraa012 creature?
wow it was good
This specific part ruins it all. It was supposed to be an intelligent game, but this jump makes it quite stupid. Why that?
vlw man
I got it first try...
this game is so cool, wierd and gloomy
omfg did it first go im so lucky :)
8:43 been trying to get past this shitty part for an hour
9:32 will be the death of me
@Akraz lol i did that the first time i tried, luck. #LOL

9:31 is inpossible
@rtl4x4 It isnt that hard lol, only took meh a couple of tries
@dkc4475 Derp. Too bad it worked for me huh ^____^
8:29 is the hardest fucking bullshit ever encountered. fucking so god damn annoying. tming the gear to be able to jump on it. i even tried to mock this very moment and its not fucking working

OMG THIS STUPID 8:32.....I JUST CAN'T DO IT !!!
I SPENT 2 HOURS TRYING IT !! IT JUST WON'T WORK !!!!
DUDE I EVEN TRIED TO DO THE SAME STEPS AS YOU, THIS STUPID CREATURE WON'T JUMP TO THE LADDER !! XD HELP
