There's something terribly wrong in an alternate dimension! Help Captain Viridian flip to find five crew members, 20 hard-to-reach Trinkets and save a dimension on the brink of destruction. It's a space opera in the most unique scale with a style that only VVVVVV can bring to you. Instead of jumping, control the direction of gravity by inverting your gravity and allowing Captain Viridian to flip between the floors and ceilings of the environment.
For adventurers who save the dimension, there's still hours and hours of new gameplay with all-new Player Levels. Test your mettle and see if you have what it takes to beat a collection of levels created by other famous game developers.
Inspired by classic 8-bit days gone-by and now with experience-heightening 3D, VVVVVV will challenge even the most battle-hardened old-school gamers.

Finally played Binding of Isaac and VVVVVVV. I had them on my wishlist for a while and assumed I would like them for various reasons. They finally became free on PS Plus and so I grabbed them and played them on Vita. Funny enough I didn't really enjoy them.

I like Rogue-like games but Binding of Isaac's theme was just too dark and weird. It really detracted from the experience. VVVVVV was initially fun but the hard core platforming just got too repetitive and maybe I just wasn't in the mood for it. I previously liked Super Meat Boy and the quick-reload-try-again mechanics, so I thought this would be up my alley.
Now I suddenly find myself with a hole in my backlog to fill that I wasn't expecting. Kinda disappointing when games you expected to enjoy don't work for you.

Just beat VVVVVV for the first time. That was short, but this game is clearly meant for playing repeatedly in short bursts. I have no idea what to expect from completing the modes beyond the main game, so I'll be playing around with those.
