In fact, I felt the controls for the iOS mobile version were nearly flawless for what the game is. I read reviews about it saying that the controls were frustrating at times but I did not experience that. I am a game developer myself and while I will acknowledge that some of the art and graphics of Limbo inspired some that in my first game “Rubberband Stan,” I never actually played Limbo. I hope you enjoy the game as much as I am! However, this is a minor annoyance rather than a game-breaker.

I feel like an option to have a small directional pad in the corner of the screen would be easier. But there are times when you need to get close to harmful items to move them, but you accidentally nudge too much and end up dying. To move, you slightly drag your finger in the direction you want to move. My ONLY complaint is that the controls feel too touchy. I’ve only been playing for less than two hours, and I’m in love with the game. It’s not red blood and gore, but you definitely have moments where you say, “oh wow.” I mean like, “caught in a bear trap with blood splattering” die. Now, I don’t mean die like “oops I messed up and have to go back to try again. The difference here is that Limbo takes it one step further and let’s you die. If you’ve played Unravel, you’ll notice a lot of similarities in Limbo a cute character in an unknown world, solving puzzles to progress through the beautiful, dream-like landscape.
