Overview: This presentation covers the process of designing puzzles for LIMBO, the award winning and critically acclaimed puzzle-platformer which was released on Xbox Live Arcade earlier this year. Jeppe Carlsen, the lead level designer at Copenhagen-based developer Playdead, describes the process of creating an immersive game experience that is challenging without being discouraging.
