'''Limbo''' (stylized as '''LIMBO''') is a [[puzzle]]-[[platformer]] video game and the premiere title of independent Danish game developer [[Playdead]]. The game was released in July 2010 as a platform exclusive title on [[Xbox Live Arcade]], and was later re-released as part of a retail game pack along with [[Trials HD]] and [['Splosion Man]] in April 2011. Ports of the game to the [[PlayStation Network]] and [[Microsoft Windows]] via [[Steam]] were created by Playdead, released after the year-long Xbox 360 exclusivity period was completed. ''Limbo'' is a 2D sidescroller, incorporating a physics system that governs environmental objects and the player character. The player guides an unnamed boy through dangerous environments and traps as the boy searches for his sister. The developer built the game's puzzles expecting the player to fail before finding the correct solution. Playdead called the style of play "trial and death", and used visually gruesome imagery for the boy's deaths to steer the player from unworkable solutions. The game is presented primarily in monochromatic black-and-white tones, using lighting, film grain effects and minimal ambient sounds to create an eerie atmosphere often associated with the horror genre. | '''Limbo''' (stylized as '''LIMBO''') is a [[puzzle]]-[[platformer]] video game and the premiere title of independent Danish game developer [[Playdead]].
