    Looks interesting. Just to clarify though, this is made with GameSalad, so it will not be Universal.

    Looks so sad, but awesome as well.

    PS: I'm surprised while knowing this is made by GameSalad, maybe Ill have to try this soon.

    Sorry to say that but the Developer, excuse me my Words in this Case, must be an Idiot if he does use Game Salad to Port a Flash Game instead of Unity3D.

    When even Adobe itself does work together with the Guys from Unity to make Flash Ports run smoother on iOS/Android Devices why the f*ck would someone choose Game Salad over Unity at any Case if he does have a Flash Game to Port.

    Gosh...this is the biggest Mistake I have seen a Developer doing in the last few Months if it`s true.

    Looks very intriguing!

    Any release date information?

    In the next month or two?

    And the price. Does not look like a "freebie" app, but not too expensive. Looking forward to release!

    Thanks for your words, I'm hoping you meant sad as an emotion :)

    Hi Sanuku, It's the idiot here ... ;)

    1st off this is an original title and is not a flash port at all. If it was coming from a flash version I would agree with your sentiments.

    Unity is a great engine but being a 2d game, is not needed. GameSalad have come on leaps and bounds over the last 6 months + and it is now a very powerful tool. As with most things, its the user and not the tool.
    Yes its true there are a wave of terrible games from GameSalad but this is true to any engine, just GameSalad had a free version which the crappy developers would use and that meant gameSalad brandishing all over it.
    GameSalad will have amazing performance soon, currently published games are wrapped in the LUA language but this is being dropped meaning that games will be compiled into native language ... This will give a 10x boost all round on performance.

    Hi Skeletonlord.

    Thanks for your kind words. There is no release date as of yet. I would expect maybe around 2 months. The levels are in the last leg, but I am keen to keep adding new elements to the game and going back through adding more polish.

    Price hasn't been finalised yet, but I would think around the tier 1 pricing of £0.69.

    Looks absolutely stunning! I am researching GameSalad recently and I can't imagine what you've done with it! I guess it's really the user, not the engine :p

    Best of luck with the launch!

    The fact the character even has the same hairstyle as in Limbo says it all really.

    This looks really good :) I hope GS has been updated with shorter loading times though.

    Reminds me of another game. It had a boy and a girl in it, but pretty much the same puzzle platformer look.

    This doed seem good though, so im following this.

    @Exact-Psience Yes the other game you are on about is a flash game and one of the inspirations for LAD (Inspiration - One and One Story). I have spoken and shown Matt (creator of One and One Story) LAD and he was honoured that it was an inspiration and gives LAD his blessings.

    Im pleased you like the look of it as well, it should be available very soon!

    I started playing Lad this morning. It's truly an epic game that I CANNOT get enough of. I strongly suggest everyone get a copy today. I havent played many games that simply ooze atmosphere like this one. I've actually blown off an hour of work playing it! Something I rarely do. Great job Black Chair! :cool:
