VVVVVV : The platformer that I can't pronounce
« on: January 26, 2010, 02:28:04 pm »

Edit: Play this thing! This is an awesome game where instead of jumping you flip the gravity up and down. There is a bunch of fiendishly hard (and very cool) stuff they do with this and its a ton of fun. 

Demo at http://thelettervsixtim.es/

Yes this thread just went from, "should I get this" to "hey everyone play this thing"

VVVVVV - Either "The Letter V Six Times" or "Vee Vee Vee Vee Vee Vee" (you can't make the sound the letter V makes without the letter V..  recursion is Fun)
I don't see the pronunciation trouble.

The demo was good for ten minutes or so. If I was running something other than Linux and I had money, I might buy it.

Meh. I found it annoying after a while.

Works on flash and thus on linux (in a browser). I'll agree that I couldn't play it for any length of time at once, but the second level was really cool.

Is it worth $15... probably not, but it's still really fun.

Heh, I just call this 6V.

I can't really find this fun at all. It's just.. flip, flip, die, flip flip flip flip die, flip die.

 I like it. The simplicity makes it fun. Although the demo should show more mechanics before I can be bothered to pay money for it. For something so minimalistic it has a rather high cost.

 Still, fun times for me.

I would bet money Andrew has edited things retroactively, except I can't prove anything because it was edited retroactively.
