VVVVVV is a 2010 puzzle-platform game created by Terry Cavanagh. In the game, the player controls Captain Viridian, who must rescue their spacecrew after a teleporter malfunction caused them to be separated in Dimension VVVVVV. The gameplay is characterized by the inability of the player to jump, instead opting on controlling the direction of gravity, causing the player to fall upwards or downwards. The game consists of more than 400 individual rooms, and also supports the creation of user-created levels.
Runs well on modern hardware.

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 completion. I told myself this would be my 69th completion as a joke, simply because of the name of the game and the connotation it has with 69. I guess that was a horrible mistake cause the Vs in this case refers to the Vs poking me (in-game of course) and my heart rate during the no-death runs. 10/10 would have chosen a regular hentai game instead.
challenging platformer thats really chill cuz it has a checkpoint around every corner
Amazing game. So much to do, very replay-able, superb soundtrack. One of my favorite platformers.
