A precision platformer that uses gravity flipping as the core mechanic for means of movement as compared to traditional run and jump. The concept is actually very interesting and plays out well for the most part, but backfires with inconsistent slippery movement and unavoidable collisions at some parts. This game is a quick 2 hour flipping fun if you just want to finish the story, but be prepared to turn that smile upside down like Captain V and his lost minions if you're going for full completion. I told myself this would be my 69th completion as a joke, simply because of the name of the game and the connotation it has with 69. I guess that was a horrible mistake cause the Vs in this case refers to the Vs poking me (in-game of course) and my heart rate during the no-death runs. 10/10 would have chosen a regular hentai game instead.

I already bought the 3DS port of this game and loved it, but I still recommend double-dipping because the 3DS port doesn't have a Welsh translation.

This review is 15 years late but VVVVVV is an excellent game with a killer soundtrack and you should play it if you haven't already

A short, 90-minute campaign that is infinitely replayable. Progressing in a screen just feels so good, and getting trinkets is just the right amount of added difficulty. Despite being a one button game, level mechanics vary enough to never be repetitive. This is the baseline that all 2D platformers should strive for.
