![]() ![]() This is a tough game which can border on frustrating but it relies on an exploratory lust and brevity of gameplay sessions and goals in order to keep the player invested.įurther, the graphics are interesting in their choice of era to adapt, since most retro-styled games seem to choose either an 8-bit NES or a 16-bit SNES/Genesis appearance. ![]() This makes VVVVVV a trial and error sort of game, which certainly will test the limits of tolerance, specifically the patience, of players. If you impale yourself on spikes or find yourself crushed by flying metaphysical words like “Truth” and “Yes”, you’ll be able to instantly respawn nearby. ![]() Dangers are so frequent that checkpoints are placed in nearly every room. These limitations afford challenging and unique level design, falling upward or downward to overcome obstacles and hazards, which are numerous. Viridian travels along the ground or he can flip himself upside down to travel along the ceiling. There are no guns, no power ups, no extra lives, or anything of that sort. This anti-grav movement is the core mechanic. Viridian navigates his environment through the manipulation of gravity. As a 2D puzzle platformer, the game is unique in that there’s no jump function. VVVVVV is the best kind of puzzle video game where the rules are inherently simple but the stage design grows more complex. Six characters whose names each begin with V… “VVVVVV”? Captain Viridian must hunt down each member of his crew and discover the source of the interference in order to get their ship functioning again and escape dimension VVVVVV. When the crew’s vessel is assaulted by dimensional interference, they abandon ship via teleporter but quickly find themselves separated and lost in space. “Vee vee vee vee vee”? Just a humming V noise? However you pronounce the title of this indie by Terry Cavanagh, his first commercial game, VVVVVV is about a group of spacefaring stick figures led by Captain Viridian (the player character). ![]() So here’s what I mean by limits and tolerance. To dissipate any suspicions you may have after that last sentence: I really enjoyed this game. VVVVVV represents to me an exploration of the limits of the general populace’s tolerance levels in video games. (Plato is my friend, Aristotle is my friend, but my greatest friend is truth.) Well done! I'd support any rendition.“Amicus Plato amicus Aristoteles magis amica verita.” Well paced, memorable, heartfelt, complex, sonically balanced. "This the best thing I didn't know I wanted." "I'll have you know that I've been blasting the new album so loud my parents have shut to door to my study d=w=b" Love both the soundtrack and FamilyJules7x's works, so that makes it a no-brainer!" Fans of metal and the original soundtrack definitely need to check out this album." "My final verdict on MMMMMM is one of overwhelming approval. Here's what some people have been saying about MMMMMM: Magnus "Souleye" Pålsson, 12th of June 2014 This means that you DIRECTLY support me/us in our quest to make the world a little more fun for your ears - and money is the best way to help us make more music for you! :-) When you purchase anything from the link to the RIGHT (not the one just above here), there is no middle man like with Bandcamp (above), Amazon, Spotify, Itunes and the like who take a cut of your money before it reaches the artist(s) - except Paypal.

You can preview all but the bonus content right here: Jules "FamilyJules7X" Conroy ( FamilyJules7X) worked with me for months to make this album a reality. Actually, I'll reveal one right now: With each download, you'll also get a free mod file that lets you replace my current ingame music in VVVVVV with the new metal music you just bought, if you feel in the mood to headbang yourself through Veni Vidi Vici! And as usual there's a few hidden bonuses are in the archive when you get it. The soundtrack is a zipfile has almost an hour worth of music. So this is the result: the melodic powermetal album called MMMMMM! How cool is that!?Ĭhoose between a quick download or an actual CD printed in beautiful colors! And this would be the perfect way for me and Terry to celebrate VVVVVV's entrance to IOS and Android. I love this! In fact, when I heard this medley, I knew I wanted to hear every single track I composed for the game VVVVVV in this way. That, my friends, is Jules "FamilyJules7x" Conroy playing my music! With so much awesome in the guitars, we had to have really fat cables. \M/ \M/ \M/ \M/ \M/ \M/ VVVVVV in Metal form! Get this monster MMMMMMetal album from the right-hand sidebar! ![]()
