RedLynx pays homage to Playdead's impressive 2D game

Trials Evolution, the upcoming Xbox 360-exclusive 2D stunt simulator, will have a level inspired from another popular downloadable game, Limbo.

RedLynx impressed lots of Xbox 360 owners with Trials HD, which gave them control over a motorbike rider and tasked them with successfully navigating tricky courses.

With Trials Evolution, the studio is adding lots of new features, while improving ones from the original, like the track editor.

In order to really show off what you can do with the level creator, the studio made a special track inspired by Limbo, the atmospheric 2D game from Playdead.

As you can see above and below, via screenshots from XBLAfans, Trials Evolution manages to capture almost perfectly the dark atmosphere of Limbo, while allowing players to guide a biker, instead of a little boy, through the environment.

Trials Evolution is out on April 18 on the Xbox 360 as part of the Xbox Live Arcade Next promotion.
