Limbo question

mejobloggs · 26 Jan 2012 at 13:41

I'm rather stuck at the moment and I'm just wondering... Is it possible to get completely stuck at a stage? E.g maybe I didn't do something previously, or bring an object with me etc...

I don't want to look the solution up, but if there's a possibility that I can't continue at all then maybe I need to start again

As far as I know, there is nothing that can block progression per se.

However, I've only completed the game once and haven't completed explored everything, stick with it, some parts are real tough.

Check the walkthroughs on youtube if you get stuck.

Yeah nothing can happen to make you stuck so you can no longer progress. Just keep looking and you will solve the puzzle.

Is limbo a fun game? I got it in one of the christmas prizes and installed it but never got around to playing.

Yeah it's great, probably about 2-3 hours of gameplay.

Very immersive

You can't get stuck. You'll have everything you need around you when you respawn at a checkpoint.

This. Short but extremely sweet.

Cool thanks! Just need to think harder grrrrr

I know there's walkthroughs but I'm always disappointing when I have to use them

Ruins the sense of achievement

There's some bits which are quite tricky, but just persevere and you'll get there. Some areas took me 10-20 minutes to suss, great gamr though overall.

I got completely stuck on the game because I didn't realise that there are switches you can active to turn stuff on and off.

I thought they were part of the background scenery, so when I got to a jump I couldn't make I didn't realise that if I activated the switch in mid air it would turn on a magnet and help me make the jump across the gap.

I felt very stupid afterwards.

Don't do it! :eek:

The games short enough without you skipping working out sections.

This a point and click game?

Tie the rope around the coke can, attach it to the tramps legs, tickle the tramp, walk to safe distance, read a book, consume vinegar and finally use sylphuric acid on your companion.
