Quick Look: VVVVVV

wow

Too bad the quicklook lacks the amazing soundtrack.  I played the demo and was more compelled to buy the soundtrack than the game.  Best $4 I've spent in a while!

I didn't appreciate how good Jeff is at the game until I tried it myself.  There's some tricky stuff.

This game actually looks amazing. If it was on steam then I'd definately buy it.

Kudos on the video description Vvvvvvvinny.

Game is intense.  To bad im sure it would being boring after 20 mins.

The graphics definitely take me back to the good ol' days of MegaZeux.

just bought PPPPPP :D official soundtrack for the game

The was an intense quick look.

The games looks awesome but the controls are waaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyy to slippery!

I just finished it. Died 1300 times. I don't know if it was the game or just my keyboard but the action key didn't respond at times when I pressed it which was kind of annoying. But holy hell, I had so much fun playing this.
 
Also did anyone else find that HUGE GLOWING ELEPHANT?
I feel like this is a metaphor for something...

vvvvvvinny

I'd buy that on PSN if it was $10

Looks really cool, I might get this.

that looks awesome. i loved Ryans excitement over "The Tower" haha

I think I need to play this with invincibility on just to hear the soundtrack. Sounds avvvvvvvesome

Graham Base books ftw.

I remember downloading a heap of SoulEye (the dude who made the music for this) some years ago. He does nice tracker-music. You can find a heap of songs here:

Yeah, VVVVVV is the best. Here's the review I was asked to write for Bytejacker: Review: VVVVVV - Terry Cavanagh
 
I'm a little confused by how Jeff keeps saying "they", though, because excluding the soundtrack and room names, it's literally just one guy responsible for the entire thing.

Not my type of game; I got a headache just watching it :( 

I was scared 100% of the time watching this.

The thing I like most about this quick look is that at least SOMEONE mentioned that NES game that you flip up and down with a gun.  I dont even know if metal storm was the actual name but I remember playing it on my NES and it's totally awesome that Vinny brought it up in this great quick look.  Good thing too cause I think i would've lost my damn mind if no one mentioned it.  Kudos.

I bought the game after this quicklook and it's really good. The only nitpick I got so far is the blurry fullscreen mode since this game runs in proper low-res - 300x200px or something like that. Just run it in window mode and maximize the window to make it look sharp.

You can also play with WASD with W being the switch button, but playing with one hand is kinda weird, especially when the timings are tight. The controls themselves feel spot on, with just the right amount of momentum going on to be fair and piss you off at the same time ;-)

I think it's actually pronounced "Arrows Pointing Down"

This game is giving me a headache.

If this game comes to Steam I will totally buy it.

anyone else thinks the controls are infuriatingly sloppy?

  view, a humble vaudevillian veteran cast vicariously as both victim and villain by the vicissitudes of Fate. This visage, no mere veneer of vanity, is a vestige of the vox populi, now vacant and vanished. However, this valorous visitation of a bygone vexation stands vivified and has vowed to vanquish these venal and virulent vermin vanguarding vice and vouchsafing the violently vicious and voracious violation of volition! The only verdict is vengeance; a vendetta held as a votive, not in vain, for the value and veracity of such shall one day vindicate the vigilant and the virtuous. Verily, this vichyssoise of verbiage veers most verbose, so let me simply add that it's my very good honor to meet you and you may call me "V"

oh jeez that's crazy. i'd definitely pick it up for ten bucks, but idk about 15. it seems like they uncovered a lot of that map pretty quickly.

This looks quite addicting. I'm like Vinny, I'ld better stay away.

This looks really cool. Thank you guys for showing it to us. I'll definitely play it.
 
And the exploratory parts look ridiculous.

vvvvvvvvvvvhat the fuck is this

Be nice to see this on Live or PSN.

I like it. I wonder if LBP could have stages like those in this game. The little characters remind me of sackboy.

VVVVVVVVV???

holy crapcakes that was a doozie!
