    I beat the main game with 10 trinkets in 1 hour 30 mins. Doing this one trinket took me another hour and 30 mins. I wanted to send this to the game's developer, but this will have to do:

    Oh man, that's hilarious. XD
     
    I beat this game last night and the majority of that time was spent getting that one trinket. I don't believe I've ever felt so good completing a challenge in a video game.

    Well to be fair, it's mainly just this particular part (and it's optional). The rest of the game is nowhere near as bad.

    @Legend: I have that pre-ordered on steam. It's been an agonizing month since I saw the QL for that game and decided I have to play it, but in two days it shall be mine.

    Granted, this is a particularly hard part. I've seen this game before though and I still don't think it's for me.

    I recently decided to play it again in anticipation of Super Meat Boy (two more days :D) and went for all trinkets. This particular one took me well over 500 tries on three different play sessions. I obviously suck at this game, but I still love it :)
    Getting that trinket is definitely one of my best gaming moments of 2010.

    Hah, I played this part yesterday and it took me about 45 mins to pass. Strangely enough, I didn't even rage one bit. I think the fact that you respawn instantly when you die removes any and all frustration for me.

    @armaan8014: It IS fun. Everything surrounding the difficulty of VVVVVV helps to make it not frustrating; the instant respawning after death, checkpoints in every room, the awesome music. Dying is not a big deal in this game.

    It didn't take me that long to finish the game, Super Meat Boy was a lot harder.. but the stories are both very entertaining, great games.

    Ah yes, the instant respawning and checkpoints are a good thing. Well in any case, I enjoy watching people get frustrated while playing games like these at least :D

    Yeah I love great stories too, possibly a reason why people endure the torture. But I'm not brave enough to play these games :P

    I just want to say the cutscene you get as a reward for finding all 20 trinkets is really awesome.

    I won't say "is totally worth it," because if you don't have fun spending half an hour on veni vini vici, no cutscene on earth would be worth that, but if you did have fun making gradual progress on that very difficult challenge, as I did, the game definitely rewards you.

    I completed the game (with 11/20 trinkets) with a little under 1000 deths. 180 of them where getting this one shiny.

    The fact that the game doesn't cut out the music when you die saves it from being unbearable, after I Wanna Be The Guy I have the first few seconds of Megaman 2 - Wily Stage forever stuck in my head.

    Try staying in the gravatron for 1 minute lol. My best is like 8 seconds.

    I beat Veni Vedi Vice 6 times in a row, it's a cake walk. Admittedly, I play the hell out of the game and practiced that part haha. Gonna try to make a video of me doing it blind-folding. First time doing that though was a huge pain in the ass, a lot of F words too.
