Also thought Limbo looked interesting?



Rejoice. It's coming to Mac. This year.

Just finished it. Very dense and great athmo and setting with decent jump & run puzzles. It´s more like an experience than a complete game.
So yeah, since it´s a puzzler it can get pretty annoying to find THAT on sequence of action that get you to the next ... puzzle. and mostly the Autosave Points are set just right.
It´s fun for the 4 hours or so that it lasts.

There it is. A Steam version will come later.

Steam version is crashing on startup for me.

Works fine here, but despite the control setup seeming to claim otherwise, there isn't any gamepad support.  There's always Controllermate, but still, a bit annoying.

Not here. My Xbox 360 USB controller with the Tattiebogle.net 0.11 driver was immediately recognized. Works 100% flawless.

Oh, I guess it's one of those "Xbox 360 controller only" things.  Devs, please stop that, just use the HID manager, thanks.

seem be futile to get anything else than x360 or a PS3 controller these days.
At least that was what my researches came up with before I got mine.

Any system specs?
Verifying the Game Caches or reinstalling sometimes help. Had the problem with Quake 4.

Anybody figure out how to put this in windowed mode?

Tried both, no luck. 2.8 i5, ATI 5850, 10.7.2. After one crash it works fine on my MacBook Pro, so I'll play it on that for now.

NM figured it out. No crashes here either.

My logitech controller is not recognized as well.

Do you know a free alternative to ControllerMate ?

[Eric5h5]

Well, unfortunately I have to take that back about "works fine here".  A few hours in I've completed most of the game, and have had two hard lockups where I had to shut off the computer.  Can't remember the last time that's happened.  So between the hard crashes and the apparently hard-coded XBox360 controller setup (what is this, the 90s?), it's a bit of a technical fail, which is too bad since the game itself is quite clever and well done.

As for Controllermate, I seem to recall that you can use it free with a limited number of blocks, which might be enough for Limbo since all it needs is arrow keys + alt.
