VVVVV

Don’t listen to the idiots who bought this game thinking it was VVVVVV (6 V’s), this is obviously something totally different. It feels a lot like a game that could be part of Nitrome from back in the Flash game days. Also, the regular game comes with the entire soundtrack in the install, don’t pay more for the soundtrack bundle (but you probably weren’t going to anyways). Nice soundtrack btw.

VVVVV is yet another of literally thousands of 2D retro pixel platformers infesting Steam and lowering the average quality of all video games everywhere. This shovelware platformer is an extraordinarily lazy effort with simplistic levels and platforming, it's basically a shovelware minimum viable product slapped together with a Java template. The name tells the whole story, this is an attempt to trick people into thinking it was VVVVVV, a completely different 2D retro pixel platformer. From a technical perspective, the game doesn't meet basic minimum requirements that most PC gamers expect as standard. A choice was made to use obsolete, decades old retro pixel "art" as a substitute for contemporary PC graphics. It's unclear if this is due to lack of budget or talent, regardless, the overall visual quality of the game is extremely low as a result. While there are options to change the resolution for the game, all this does is scale up the simplistic low quality art assets used to make the game, which makes little or no difference to the graphics quality. Without any other substantial graphics tweaks, it's not possible for gamers to improve the mediocre 2D visuals. The contr…

cool pixelated platformer game to be honest, just really difficult and sometimes stages get a bit annoying, which is probably the charm of this game. negative reviews on this are mostly because the game has a very similar name to another game called VVVVVV, don't take those seriously

VVVVVV, developed and published by Terry Cavanagh, is a puzzle platformer that builds its entire identity around a single, brilliantly simple idea and then explores that idea with remarkable depth. Instead of relying on traditional jumping mechanics, the game allows players to flip gravity, sending the protagonist, Captain Viridian, either to the floor or the ceiling. This one mechanic defines every moment of the experience, transforming what could have been a basic platformer into something far more inventive and demanding. The gameplay revolves around navigating a large, interconnected map made up of individual rooms, each functioning as its own self-contained challenge. Players move left and right while switching gravity to avoid hazards, primarily spikes, that instantly result in death upon contact. The controls are extremely simple, but the level design ensures that mastery is anything but easy. Precision and timing are critical, as many sections require carefully planned movements and quick reactions. Despite the high difficulty, the game remains approachable due to its generous checkpoint system, which places players right back into the action after each failure. This desig…
