- VVVVVV is a 2D open-world precision platformer by the developer of Super Hexagon in which we control spaceship Captain Viridian on his journey to rescue his crewmen.
Erich Zann · Apr 02, 2022 Reviewed on iOSRead full review - With hundreds of rooms to invert gravity in and a freely open-world environment in which to search for your crew members, even failure and repeat deaths never detract from just how enjoyable VVVVVV is to play. Whether that’s thanks to the smile that’s (nearly) permanently etched on Captain Viridian’s face, the minimalistic but effective 8-bit graphics, or the magnificent chiptune soundtrack that has been penned by Swedish composer Magnus Pålsson, the game is just as brilliant now as it was eight years ago.
Alex Seedhouse · Feb 09, 2018 Reviewed on SwitchRead full review - VVVVVV feels every bit as fresh on the Switch in 2017 as it did on the 3DS in 2010; if you didn't try it back then you should definitely pick it up now. If you did, now may nevertheless be a good time to revisit. Mutliplayer makes the Switch version even more interesting, and this is a game that still serves up an intense and enjoyable challenge. VVVVVV is a fantastic value and a great addition to the Switch library.
Steve Bowling · Nov 22, 2017 Reviewed on SwitchRead full review - VVVVVV is a fantastic game, and it’s at its console best on Switch. The main mode, while short in length and quite challenging, is excellent and the bonus levels and options add more to the package.
Neal Ronaghan · Nov 15, 2017 Reviewed on SwitchRead full review - If you're looking for a challenge, VVVVVV offers one that's simple to understand yet grueling to complete. Its simplistic aesthetics match its simplistic controls, and it also has some nice chiptune music thrown in for good measure.
crispyn64 · Jan 25, 2017 Reviewed on VitaRead full review - Hard as hell, but if you’re into that sort of thing, super-fun and packed with content, all backed by a wonderful soundtrack. Control isn’t quite as precise as it is on other versions, but it’s damn near.
Joe Matar · Jun 27, 2014 Reviewed on AndRead full review - Look, VVVVVV is great on pretty much every platform it's been released on. But with the low price of the mobile version combined with the sheer portability, it's a no-brainer. I've purchased multiple copies of VVVVVV over the years, and I'd happily buy more.
Chris Carter · Jun 18, 2014 Reviewed on iOSRead full review - VVVVVV is punishing for sure, but the sheer level of satisfaction it offers is similarly fantastic. It truly is something special.Previously a gem on the PC, VVVVV is just as great on iOS, proving to be captivating and frustrating in equal measures.
Jennifer Allen · Jun 16, 2014 Reviewed on iOSRead full review - Like we said, ‘VVVVVV’ is worth your time, the steep difficulty can alienate some of the more casual gamers out there but if your mind is willing and your game-rage is easily managed, you’ll have a great time.
Drew Sleep · Jun 16, 2014 Reviewed on - It’s one of my favorite platforming games of the modern era, being so wonderfully-designed. For those who can handle touchscreen controls, this is a wonderful game to have on the go.

About the game
Trailers & Screenshots:
It’s the game that'll have you walking on the ceiling and looking up at the floor! VVVVVV is a challenging 2D action/platformer with one deceptively simple gameplay mechanic: Without the ability to jump, Captain Viridian must rely on inverting gravity to advance through hundreds of rooms and solve the puzzles he encounters therein. This love letter to the days of 8-bit home computer games features amazing retro gameplay, a genuinely classic visual aesthetic and an earworm chiptune soundtrack created by Swedish musician Magnus Palsson.
