If you've followed indie games for longer than 3 years you'd know that there were plenty of games before Limbo that used the silhouette style. Just because a game is popular doesn't mean it invented everything.

Who cares if the art style is similar to LIMBO? It's an amazing art style that myself and a lot of people love, and I'm glad to see games like Nightsky and FEIST are using it.

Bounce + Limbo = This game

Looks too much like Limbo

[vioxyde]

Looks like a LIMBO ripoff IMO.

So is every game from now on just going to be silhouettes? I like the styles but it seems everyones going for this look.

@jacbros ok i've got what you say, in fact when i used to program games we exchanged ideas and such in the community

[jacbros]

@Margalus89 Limbo was created by danes and nightsky's dev team only had one dane in it for my knowledge. Nifflas also known as Nicklas Nygren, so what i think is that they playdead and nicalis maybe worked together, and really in the indie world no one really cares if another indie dev makes something beautiful that looks like what they made. I mean notch likes terraria so its not all about copying

[Margalus89]

@jacbros that's strange since they both seem to came out before Limbo but still almost everyone knows Limbo and you can't tell the same about the other two

is this due to the marketing strategies or something else in your opinion?

[jacbros]

@Margalus89 no chance since this came out before Limbo, but i dont know about Feist
