VVVVVV Reviews

One of the best indie platformers.

Is it a good thing when your only complaint for a game is that it's too short for having just introduced such a promising mechanic? Maybe, but this is still a great value for five dollars. 9/10

good platformer, absolute classic HORRENDOUS achievements

The only game that requires you to look down on your feet, and up into the sky through which things can fly

100%-ed with joy. Short and creative, every level has a totally different way of exploring the same simple mechanics.

This is an excellent platformer that was easy for me to pick up, but I imagine it would take a LOT of practice for me to master it. I beat the game with six hundred some deaths on my first run, playing through taking turns with my wife—it took about 2.5 hours. I only have 1 of the 19 achievements though, there are still a lot of harder sections I haven't done yet. The music is also amazing and perfectly complements the gameplay in my opinion. The game is definitely worth $5, but if $5 feels too expensive when you might beat the main game in 2-3 hours, then you can wait for a sale.

A fun gravity-switching platform game. What a reference used in GPW3.

A fun little 2D platforming game with an aesthetic that makes me recall the C64, and quite challenging gameplay that almost made me snap my controller in half. I'd imagine that it'd be fun to replay for trying to get faster completion times and a lower total death count.

VVVVVV is a great precision platformer with amazing level design. I also love the atmosphere and the music, and the story was cute. The controls annoyed me a little compared to other platformers: where they often feel tight and responsive this one can feel the opposite. Expect to die a lot and not feel like it was your fault. Fortunately, unless you're an achievement hunter (god help your soul if you are), death isn't punished very harshly.

This game is so good. Don't let the simple artwork foo you; The speed and challenge of the game keep you engaged, and the soundtrack is phenomenal. So many good songs! This is a fun game that never slows down. Enjoy!
