VVVvvv: 2D Puzzle-Platformer Game

Explore a space station, solve puzzles, and overcome obstacles as Captain Viridian in VVVvvv, a critically acclaimed 2D puzzle-platformer game.

What is VVVVVV?

VVVVVV is a minimalist 2D puzzle-platform video game developed by Terry Cavanagh and released in 2010. In VVVVVV, the player controls Captain Viridian, who finds himself separated from his crew after his spaceship crashlands on an unknown planet.

Captain Viridian must traverse a series of single-screen rooms in the spaceship in search of the missing crew members. Instead of jumping, Viridian can invert his own gravity to walk on the ceiling. Each room contains various deadly obstacles and enemies that Viridian must avoid while searching for the exit.

The retro aesthetic, chiptune soundtrack, and unforgiving yet fair difficulty makes VVVVVV a standout entry in the puzzle-platformer genre. With no ability to attack, the player can only run and reverse gravity to traverse rooms. Perfect timing and split-second reactions are necessary to clear many rooms.

The minimalist design and focused scope allows VVVVVV to excel at delivering highly challenging platforming gauntlets. While light on story, the game excels in delivering tense gameplay built around a novel gravity-flipping mechanic.
