I wanted to make this video for a while ever since LIMBO won the gd awards but I lost my motivation over and over again after I got demonetized, so if you'd like to show your support for the channel while also wielding an intimidating dorito with a smiley face you can help by buying my plushie!

[@TrideGD]

It's interesting that the reason you decided to choose memory style was mainly to make the level as intimidating as possible. I always thought the idea of limbo stemmed from being a memory level, but it's interesting that that wasn't really the case, and it makes sense in terms of return 0 as well. Really cool video

Limbo is one or THE BEST or Top 10 ever created. This shows how these levels are meant to be executed. Exploring the level itself, finding the little secrets, the adventure of the level itself, and what makes the level stand out from the rest. You made a huge risk in creating an extreme demon that no one has ever seen, and you and everyone else nailed it out of the park. This level is a GREAT example of pulling off a fun, amazing Top 10. As well as a level to remember. Congrats on making this masterpiece!

[@LazrBG]

I don’t think it’s THE BEST top 10 ever but it’s the best top 10 in a long time LoL. (Oh and since this is the internet and people can attack me at any moment i just wanna say: this is my opinion ok?)

[@luminescence_gd]

​@@LazrBG I agree. its a fantastic level but overrated

[@plasmapanther4444]

​@@LazrBG I mean tbf it is competing with some other previous good/decent top 10's like Bloodbath, The Golden, etc. But I think it is def top 5, best top 10's of all time imo.

It's so sad that Limbo was one day away from becoming the hardest memory demon but Kyouki came out 😕😕😕😕😕😕💀😕💀😕

[@Empostir]

Kyouki is not a memory level wdym?

[@Sevant]

@@Empostir it requires memorization more than Limbo does

[@mralmond693]

@@Sevant nah kyouki is more skill than memory there’s a bit but not much

[@Empostir]

@@Sevant How. It's just a generic "test all skills" level, not memory or even memory based. 10s of memory gameplay in a 2 minutes level doesn't justify it as a "memory level that's harder than a 3 minutes level full of memory based gameplay".

[@Prometheus_Alt]

I mean, I guess diabolic clubstep is also the hardest memory demon, just look at all those fakes

limbo is as much GD history as... sliced bread? your level is unique and groundbreaking, releasing at a dark time between 2.1 and (2.2?) even though i am definitely not skilled enough to dream of completing this level, i still respect the work and dedication required to make something like this.

[@dshifter7]

From the very first few previews of Limbo I was captivated by its uniqueness and ingenuity, and now all these years later it's still one of the craziest, most outstanding levels in the game. It's not just an intimidating challenge, it's a true work of art too. Limbo (and your all your other projects) have made you my favorite creator, and I look forward to seeing what other projects you do in the future :) Thank you for including my comment in your video! It was a pleasant surprise :O PS. The Limbo sweatshirt is awesome! I was one of the first hundred or so people to buy it and the prints are still fairly high quality after several washes. I'm seriously thinkin about preordering the little dorito too

[@adastra2228]

[@archiemacdonald8409]

I love how innovative and unique this level is. Instead of just being the usual top demon with tight ship, wave and timings, Limbo focuses on completely different skills that most top players are not so comfortable with, especially the key maze, it requires skills that no other top demon will test you on. Limbo is easily one of the best levels ever created and I hope it inspires more creators to think outside the box like Mindcap did and build more original, unique and never seen before styles of levels to bring more variety to the game.

Limbo is kinda funny because you could make the argument that the entire level is frame perfect if you want to get consistent

[@HandMaidenReal]

My phone blew up after i picked the key. I give you negative social credit.

[@cheesymeatball174]

When 2.2 releases with the random trigger, the game is going to change so much! Randomisation in gameplay will be easily accessible to everyone. You could have randomised orbs, randomised spike jumps, maybe even randomised gamemodes on an easier level!

I remember something from a long time ago. On twitter, you posted screenshots from discord, where some kid dm'd you asking how the randomizer worked, long before the verification, and you sent him a video. You posted a video later on twitter explaining the randomizer, the same video that you put here, but it wasn't the same as the one you sent the kid on discord. What happened to the "TryPausingBitchinator" video?

We all admire you for what you’ve done for the gd community, how you can show that a demon can be completely different from others, but still be extremely high quality. Great job, mindcap :)

[@GD_T0m10ka]

i wish i could buy the plushies man

[@shadowknight00M]

I can only wonder what the hell the demonlist is gonna look like once the random trigger and 2.2 itself comes out. If this incredible (and terrifying) level is already a real challenge, now imagine a fully randomized extreme demon 🗿 Great video pyramid boi

[@Silds.]

This is a really interesting and unique idea

[@IDAN100G]

I practiced each one of the top 10 on the demon list and I have to say that in my opinion Limbo is the best one of them all and is easily harder than Slaughterhouse.

[@gladiator_2581]

I still don’t understand how people pick a key ;-;

[@el3ctr0_bird]

Track the key that glows green at the beginning, pick it by relasing on the one you followed also its randomized so it's never the same key
