mikemariano Posted July 27, 2011 I can't believe we don't have a thread for my personal GOTY.cx of 2010! VVVVVV has been updated! It now includes new levels created by special guests, as well as a level editor! Now I can make all the spikes I want! WARNING: The update wipes out your save games, meaning there is no record that I collected all the shiny trinkets. Tragic! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wahwah Posted July 27, 2011 You reminded me that I just grabbed this as a part of the latest Humble Indie Bundle but haven't installed it yet! I'm gonna do that now, it looks pretty rad Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nachimir Posted July 27, 2011 *outpouring of delight* Bought this last year and stalled on a later screen that I found impossible. Got this in the Humble Bundle too, looking forward to tinkering with the editor. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
subbes Posted July 28, 2011 You know what's rad? The VVVVVV soundtrack. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
elmuerte Posted July 28, 2011 where is still so called "The VVVVVV soundtrack. "? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Noyb Posted July 28, 2011 It's called PPPPPP: http://www.souleye.se/pppppp Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
elmuerte Posted July 28, 2011 Awesome! I love music like that. I'm a huge Danny Baranowsky fan. SoulEye has a similar "retro" style. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Orv Posted July 29, 2011 I've never gotten the appeal of the Vuuuuuuuuuuuh soundtrack. Doesn't do it for me. Oh well! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
elmuerte Posted July 29, 2011 that's because you suck at liking that music Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hermie Posted July 29, 2011 Got Veeveeveeveeveevee in the bumble hindu tumble, finished it today. It only took two play-sessions (three if you count the 90 mins I played before the update erased my progress). Great fun! I too am in love with the soundtrack. My single complaint is about the part where you have to escort someone. For a game that rely on such tight controls, the following is quite sloppy and imprecise. Otherwise quite superior, worth what I paid for the bundle alone. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ThunderPeel2001 Posted August 2, 2011 Completed this today, after many, many deaths. Great little game with some cool tunes. The escort mission was definitely the most difficult, but the final mission was also pretty hard. Still I didn't get stuck for too long.. I think. Still can't find my way into the hidden research lab, though. Very frustrating. Here is my final (pitiful) score: Certainly felt good to finish it, though Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
miffy495 Posted August 2, 2011 I think I had about 3 times your number of deaths. I also got way more of the trinkets though, including that damned-near impossible one where you need to fall up through 5 screens and then fall back down through them in quick succession.

That was far too evil. I'm sure that 2000 of your deaths were from that trinket alone! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Orv Posted August 4, 2011 (edited) Gave VVVVVVV a try. Got to the Tomb of Mad Carew, gave up. Both not enjoying the music and being terrible at platformers/anything requiring split-second finger dexterity means I'll never beat this game. Ah well. (Though upon introspection, I can play the piano masterfully, so maybe it's a "where I'm looking =/= what my fingers are doing" disconnect. Whatever.) (On the other hand, I'm thoroughly enjoying AYIM, so maybe it's Mario I don't enjoy vs say. . .what other thinking-platformers are there?)

elmuerte Posted August 4, 2011 Woohoo... managed to finish it. Didn't get all trinkets, and died a shit load of times (600+). Some rooms were really really reaaaally annoying, but still doable. What's with the elephant? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nappi Posted August 4, 2011 I was under the impression that this game would be ridiculously hard but saving the crew members, at least, was quite enjoyable - largely thanks to generous checkpointing, I'm sure. The controls could have been more accurate or less sensitive, though. Liked the music and the art style a lot. Very nice little distraction this game was.

Kolzig Posted August 5, 2011 I finally got this and several others gems with the Humble Indie Bundle 3. Have to get playing it at some point, I love this game, I had so much fun and pain with the demo version. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ThunderPeel2001 Posted August 5, 2011 So has anyone found a way to save the universe yet? I'm not even sure where I should be looking? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Noyb Posted August 5, 2011 So has anyone found a way to save the universe yet? I'm not even sure where I should be looking? You need to collect all 20 trinkets. Yes, including that one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
elmuerte Posted August 5, 2011 You need to collect all 20 trinkets. Yes, including that one. Then I'd say, screw the universe. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mikemariano Posted August 5, 2011 I spent a few hours last year rising and falling, rising and falling, hitting every spike just to get that trinket. I entered another state of consciousness and became one with the game. VVVVVV is now a part of me. Is it worth it? It changed who I am as a human being. So, no.

Drath Posted August 7, 2011 Just finished it with 12/20 trinkets, but that also includes the keyboard smashing one. I just couldn't let it go. Took me about 1 hour and 500 deaths... ish. I found the end pretty tough as well. In the end I had 1200 deaths. Not sure if I want to go through again to get the trinkets, I don't even know where I missed any (considering the whole map is visible). Great game, great atmosphere (C64-esque), and great soundtrack. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
elmuerte Posted August 7, 2011 (edited) the map shows where they are, with a "S" iirc Edited August 7, 2011 by elmuerte Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
