Limbo is a dreary black-and-white world (pictures)

The unique art style in this game captures your attention from the beginning, and the scary scenes and sounds almost never let up.

Early boat ride

Early in Limbo for iOS you'll take a boat ride across a desolate expanse of water, and only when you reach the other side do you find out there's no way back.

Vines and ropes

Like many great platformer games before it, Limbo has you swinging on ropes and vines to jump to higher levels.

A rare well-lit moment

For all the dark and dreary moments, there are a few where you'll climb up to where there's a bit more light -- but not much.

Platforms and puzzles

Jump from platform to platform, but watch out for traps (don't worry, you'll find them).

Here comes the spider!

Probably the most unnerving moments in the early parts of Limbo are when the spider is hot on your heels.
