About VVVVVV

About this game

Help! Everyone has been teleported away randomly! As the heroic Captain Viridian, it's up to you to find your friends, bring them back to safety, and save the universe!

VVVVVV is a platform game all about exploring one simple mechanical idea - what if you reversed gravity instead of jumping?

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 from progressing except the challenges themselves.

Key features:

  • Elegant, minimalistic level design.
  • Challenging, fast, and fun gameplay.
  • Frequent checkpoints mean you never have to replay challenges you've already beaten.
  • Over half an hour of chiptune music by composer Magnus Pålsson.
  • Special game modes, including time trials and a no-death mode.
  • Recently updated with 60+fps support

Destructoid

"It's Terry Cavanagh's best game to date, and one of the best platformers I've ever played. If you have any interest in challenging platformers whatsoever, you'd be doing...

Eurogamer Spain

90 / 100
"VVVVVV is the result of a strong introspection of the platform genre, where Terry Cavanaugh studies the past while creating something new for the future."

Multiplayer.it

82 / 100
"Fun, short and crazy hard but not frustrating. VVVVVV is just a nice, very well design piece of indie game."

Very fun little game. It's short, but pretty challenging if you want to collect all the trinkets. I loved exploring the map, I loved the movement, and the level design. I'll play it again some day. Great game

Cool game, one of the most famous indie. Pretty hard and not that lenghty, but a good product for the time it came out.
