The game's second half features mechanical puzzles and traps using machinery, electromagnets, and gravity. Among the hazards are glowing worms, which attach themselves to the boy's head and force him to travel in only one direction until they are killed.
Limbo is presented through dark, greyscale graphics and with minimalist ambient sounds, creating an eerie, haunting environment. The dark visuals also serve to conceal numerous lethal surprises, including such environmental and physical hazards as deadly bear traps on the forest floor, or lethal monsters hiding in the shadows. As is typical of most two-dimensional platform games, the boy can run left or right, jump, climb onto short ledges or up and down ladders and ropes, and push or pull objects.
The player controls the boy throughout the game. Playdead called the style of play "trial and death", and used gruesome imagery for the boy's deaths to steer the player from unworkable solutions. The developer built the game's puzzles expecting the player to fail before finding the correct solution. The player guides an unnamed boy through dangerous environments and traps as he searches for his sister. Limbo is a 2D side-scroller, incorporating a physics system that governs environmental objects and the player character.
The game was released on Jfor the Nintendo Switch. Limbois a puzzle-platform game developed by independent studio Playdead.
