Description
VVVVVV is a retro styled 2D platformer by Terry Cavanagh, creator of dozens of free games. You play as the fearless leader of a team of dimension exploring scientists who inadvertently crash, and are separated. The game involves exploring the strange world you've found yourself in, and reuniting your friends.
VVVVVV explores one simple game mechanic: you cannot jump - instead, you reverse your own gravity at the press of a button. The game focuses on playing with this mechanic in a variety of interesting ways.
The game is designed not to artificially gate your progress. In VVVVVV there are no locks, no power-ups, no switches, nothing to stop you progressing except the challenges themselves.

Great Game!
Absolutely stunning - great gameplay and soundtrack - highly recommended to people who love chiptune or remember the speccy or C64 - one of the best retro games I have played!
Loved it!
vvvvvv is an excellent game. Highly recommended.
I would especially recommend this to all of you who enjoy trying tricky platform sections over and over until you finally crack them. Effectively infinite lives and well placed regular checkpoints means this game is all about beating small sections one after another. The difficulty setting is perfect, and completion of each section requires timing, skill, patience, and occasionally a little luck.
The funky retro graphics and catchy music work well too.
Innovative, refreshing, and fun!
Another great indie classic
VVVVVV is a fantastic addition to the growing library of indie classics on the store.
It only uses one mechanic, where your character flips from the floor to the ceiling and vice versa. Only three buttons to control: left, right and flip. But the game built around this mechanic is so ingenious and creative.
The world is also surprisingly open. Even with the retro graphics you really feel a sense of exploration and discovery.
It's a short game, but there are quite a few extras, and at this price you can't complain.
The soundtrack, as has already been said, is brilliant.
