unlabelledView post →I had somehow managed to never play Don't Look Back, Terry Cavanagh's (VVVVVV) first game. That is, until yesterday. It's 30 minutes long and an absolute design masterpiece, so clever and full of meaning. It's now part of the Terry's Other Games collection: store.steampowered.com/app/2824580/...
unlabelledView post →Core gameplay loop and content for the VVVVVV game are complete! Release will be more like a week or two from now, to get in some polish and maybe playtesters before calling it done. I've also got a new prototype and a demake coming out in October too 👀 Busy and exciting! #pico8 #vvvvvv

unlabelledView post →I just beat VVVVVV! This game frustrated me to hell and back, but it's still the most fun I've had in days. A cute and challenging platformer with an awesome anti-gravity mechanic and really nice retro aesthetic. It's an absolute must-buy. 😁👍

unlabelledView post →one of my favorite games is called VVVVVV so I don't have really anything to say re: video game names
unlabelledView post →A precision platformer that uses gravity flipping as the core mechanic for means of movement as compared to traditional run and jump. The concept is actually very interesting and plays out well for the most part, but backfires with inconsistent slippery movement and unavoidable collisions at some parts. This game is a quick 2 hour flipping fun if you just want to finish the story, but be prepared to turn that smile upside down like Captain V and his lost minions if you're going for full…

unlabelledView post →On the subject of @terrycavanaghgames.com here is a fun tidbit of indie game history. The person who came up with the iconic URL for VVVVVV - thelettervsixtim.es - was me. Terry hooked me up with a GDC pass that year, so we're square. Love that guy, heckuva game designer

Vultures vacuuming viper's venom. Valve vaguely vibrates, vitalizing vile viruses. Voiceless, voyager vomits, viewing vexing visuals. Visceral vertigos.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →VVVVVV is a cool puzzle game I recommend. For $5 you can get that game on its own. OR For an additional $3 you could get VVVVVV, plus 381 additional games, plus help give money to a good cause. Seems like a no brainer to me which one yall should pick.

unlabelledView post →No it’s not VVVVVV. It’s a spectrum game and it’s hard to control with AZOP but is quite good.
unlabelledView post →TIL that there is an almost complete conversion of #VVVVVV for the #commodore #c64 by demo group Laxity. The port is amazing, with great sound and very close to the original. I recommend using an Action Replay, Epyx Fastload or similar though, as loading times are quite significant. #retrogaming

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →After finishing and getting all trinkets, three problems stop this from actually being good. 1. As others have noted, the controls are slippery, which is probably a poor choice for any game, least of all a precision platformer. It makes the graviton string portions and vertical looping sections particularly unpleasant since you have no vertical control and even less horizontal control as your acceleration in the air seems even lower than on the ground. 2. Snapping instantly from one screen to…
