VVVVVV is a new indie game developed by a guy called Terry Cavanagh. It's a rather simple platformer with nice gameplay and some fresh ideas. In short it's awesome.

It's not free (costs like 10 bucks), but you can try out the demo for free at:
http://thelettervsixtim.es/

You can also buy it from the same site.

Here's a gameplay video:


While the game is pretty short, there's lots of extras that can take you a lot of time (and patience) to do so it's definitely worth its price.

Give it a try!

I couldve sworn it was 15$, and there's a huge thread about it at TIGSource debating the price and gameplay and stuff.

Might be true. If you donated $10 before it was released, you'd get it when it was released. Maybe the guy upped the price after the actual release.

this is really clever, i didnt even think of this

and i dont really see what the big deal is with vvvvvv. it seems like a pretty well polished indie platformer, but it doesnt bring anything new to the table. i understand liking and enjoying it, i just dont understand all the huge publicity it's getting :o

I heard about this, saw vids about the demo recently and it does look insanely cool but


no way I'm paying 10-15$ for a game like this, even if only to support the indie industry...

wait indie industry that sounds wrong

What, why? Do you pay money for "professional" games? And if your answer is yes, why wouldn't you pay a fraction of what you would normally pay for something that looks "insanely cool"?

Also you should play the demo if you haven't, this game rules but is hard as fucking hell.

I beat the game with 20/20 trinkets and around 300 deaths today. Can't wait to try out no-death mode. :)

i got to play the igf build and the full version is definitely worth buying. playing the demo didn't give me an impression of how much more there was in the full version, but there really is a lot your getting. $15 is kinda a lot, ($10 would be fair) but i am considering buying it.

The level design is really good, just finished the demo and loved it. Defiantly does have a Jet Set Will feel to it too, which is a bonus :)

EDIT

£8.95 is kinda expensive, but am going to resist downloading a cracked version of this as I think the creator genuinely deserves money for this.

the demos great but dishing out 15$ for the full version is ridiculous. Even if he sold it for 5$ he would make enough profit im sure.

a penny more than americans tsk tsk
