    Also, Freeze! May be an interesting indie game to look into.

    Why did nobody mention DRAGON SLAYER?

    Fantastic game. Closest thing to Demon Souls / Dark Souls.

    Er... are you talking about that Glu game where you play a mage, Infinity Blade style? Coz that isnt Limbo-ish or even Demon Souls-ish. o_O

    I think Vovin meant Dragon Slasher, from Boy and Witch Games. And he's absolutely right on both counts (it fits in this category, and it's the closed thing to Demon Souls on iOS).

    Oh yeah... I forgot about that game since i got my first ipad (ipad3). It was one of my favorites, but the lack of ipad-native versions had me forget about it.

    Grimm is kind of like it, but the only one I'd deaf recommend is Nihilumbra. I think it's better than Limbo and IMO probly in the top 10 IOS games ever. I'd consider it the test to showing your a true gamer if you can beat the entire game.

    Some other games that are kind of like it(dunno if they were mentioned)

    PenumBear
    Unmechanical
    Waking Mars
    Oscura
    Night Sky
    Dynamite Jack
    Swordigo
    Tentacles: Enter the Dolphin
    NYX Quest
    Gene Effect
    Glow Fish
    Perfect Cell
    FancyPants Adventure
    Aquaria
    Osmos

    I don't think dead runner is exactly low quality... The graphics are good, it's just a simple concept like cube runner.

    Which was first, gene effect or waking mars? They both seem to be really similar, or to be more precise, the exact same premise with almost identical artwork, just the former has a slightly darker art style...

    Well penumbear is very-very far from being a low quality game..it's one of the best puzzle platformer on iOS if you ask me..

    It has been mentioned before..

    Oh, yeah, thanks mate! I just confused the name a bit.
    But it totally fits in this category.

    It seems quite odd then that despite Gene Effect being released later and having such ridiculously close similarities that there haven't really been any complaints against it to have it pulled.

    I don't think they are that similar, one is about controlling a person and building ecosystems and the other is more about collecting stuff controlling a ship.
