Had this on Kindle for a while. Loved it, Bought it. But then for some reason it was not longer supported and the game disappeared from the platform. (Not the only game I've encountered that will disappear from your device when it is no longer carried by the store.)

Oh this is far lower on the list than it should be! Not only is Limbo good and fun but it's mildly challenging, clever, and has assumable plot that's fun to think about and figure into. It's one of those games that consumed you with it's simple complexity. I played some of this years ago and adored it more than anything. There's another game I'm thinking of too with like..a voodoo doll looking boy!
