    This game is fantastic, although I'm half way through and I hope the puzzles get a little more challenging. They are sometimes difficult, but I tend to know what I have to do straight away and it's just a question of if I can do it quick enough etc., it would be nice if there were more puzzles that weren't so obvious to work out and made you think a bit more

    This game is incredible. Touch controls are excellent. This game elicits emotions I haven't had while playing other games. Plus, playing Limbo makes me REALLY hate spiders...especially, the out-sized ones that chase you, spin you in its web and impale you.

    And mysticpete, 1 star? REALLY? This is the worst game ever?

    Mocking: so good that you have a typo? ;)

    Statement: it is definitely on my watch list -- I am not waiting for a drop, but I really need to clear a large number of backlogs, not to mention 40+ rounds of async card/board games everyday...

    Does it have all the achievements? Like getting all the extra lives, and discovering the secrets? Not much of a reason to replay, but for some....

    I'm not sure if they're the same as the console achievements, but there are definitely some in the game (13, unless some are hidden from the list).

    I loved this game on Xbox, and didn't feel like it needed to be replayed, but it has been long enough that I've forgotten most of it. It's definitely fun playing again, and aside from the occasional misstep, the controls work well. Most of the mistakes I make involve a failure to jump, or walking too far forward and onto a trap when I'm trying to inch towards it.

    If you've played this recently on any other platform, there's really no reason to get it on iOS. However, if it has been a while, or if you've never had a chance to play, you shouldn't miss this one.

    Im actually replaying, trying to discover some secrets here. Some of these eggs that needed to be stomped on are cleverly hidden in plain sight, but the path is so deviously hard to find!

    Not sure if all achievements you're looking for are here, but yeah, there are achievements that can increase the game's replayability.

    There is also a secret level (with its own (secret) achievement) that will take some doing to complete. Intense, memorable, and hugely satisfying. (The level; not the achievement.)

    Ha - thank you...

    Is there a tutorial or some instructions somewhere that I'm just not seeing?
