VVVVVV is a retro platformer with a minimalistic graphical style and a huge world to explore!
It has excellent gameplay with an awesome gravity flipping feature, smooth controls, great music and excellent level design!
Highly Recommended!
Note:
This game was originally planned to be a sponsored free Flash Game
Why is it here on PP you may ask? Well when i first heard about the game it was planned to be a sponsored free Flash Game and therefore i added it. But it evolved into such a big game that the plans have changed.
Terry Cavanagh:
“My original plan with VVVVVV was to look for a sponsorship, but it’s grown too big for that to really be realistic. In any case, I find it hard to imagine it with a sponsor’s logo on the front, surrounded by ads. So recently I’ve decided that I want to try something else – I’m going to sell VVVVVV as shareware. It’s a big, scary decision to make, but it’s pretty much the only shot I have at this point at continuing to do what I love into the future!”
Read Terry’s Blog Post “Reality” where he describes the situation in great detail.
Well when you like platformers and want to play a fantastic one then be sure to give this game a try (and support a passionate developer who put all his heart into this)
If you want to play the game you can either donate and get the beta or wait until the game is completed and buy it then. (Probably late December)
Moreover:
Check out the Thoughts on the game from the other sites that i have listed above in the Media Coverage section.
Ah! Actually, it’s called VVVVVV now :)
problem solved:
shortened the name to the easier to memorize 6 character title.
which is indeed easier to recognize ;)
I’ll let you know what the final number of V’s I settle on is, heh.
:-D
I love this game! It looks like a “must be played with brain power and fast fingers”
