Help Captain Viridian flip to find five crew members, 20 hard-to-reach Trinkets and save a dimension on the brink of destruction. It's a space opera in the most unique scale with a style that only VVVVVV can bring to you. Instead of jumping, control the direction of gravity by inverting your gravity and allowing Captain Viridian to flip between the floors and ceilings of the environment. For adventurers who save the dimension, there's still hours and hours of new gameplay with all-new Player Levels. Test your mettle and see if you have what it takes to beat a collection of levels created by other famous game developers. Inspired by classic 8-bit days gone-by and now with experience-heightening 3D, VVVVVV will challenge even the most battle-hardened old-school gamers.… Expand

    VVVVVV is a platforming masterpiece. The only thing that could make it better is if it were longer.

    While some players will prefer to play VVVVVV with physical controls, this iOS port is a brilliant portable version of a truly excellent indie platformer.

    A brilliant port of a brilliant game. VVVVVV on iOS is well worth a first, second, or third download.

    Previously a gem on the PC, VVVVV is just as great on iOS, proving to be captivating and frustrating in equal measures.

    This great retro platform game works great also with a touch screen, thanks to perfectly calibrated controls.

    One of the best parts of VVVVVV is that is focuses on the core platforming gameplay above all else, and while it might not be beautiful visually, the level design is beautifully constructed. The gravity component keeps things fresh, so that you have to think a little too while using some quick reflexes.

The gameplay is great, utilizing an effective gravity technique to traverse through the treacherous landscape. The open world nature of it also sets it apart from most other games. The story is really funny in a dry humor sense and there are enough achievements and challenges to keep you entertained for an entire lifetime. Hopefully you will have the same experience I did with this game, because for me this is the definitive iOS app. Have fun. :)… Expand

Theres a lot of them, but it feels authentic, not just taking the style of old. modern indie gaming mechanics meets manic miner and chuckie egg. Very fluid with killer 'chip' music that fuses well the gameplay to bring genuine smiles when playing. Main game is short lived but user maps to download extend this. Fantastic overall… Expand
