From the review:
"It's a credit to the game's development that even though the graphics are basic, I still felt a strange amount of endearment to the main protagonist, Veridian. He reminded me slightly of Sackboy from Little Big Planet while also harking back to my memories of the Dizzy games back in the 1980s. Constantly smiling away, nothing seems to get Veridian down despite being faced with many, many perils. His mission? To save his crewmates who have been scattered across a strange dimension after their spaceship crash lands. VVVVVV is a 2d platformer at heart with each of the levels not being overly long to complete, assuming you know what you're doing. It sounds simple, it isn't. Veridian only has one ability at his disposal: the ability to invert gravity. It might not sound like much but it makes for some very intriguing puzzles."
Alex DS. from Link Cable Gaming writes: " Before the 3DS’ online store joins WiiWare, DSiWare, and the PSP Store in the big farm of defunct digital stores in the sky, we’re taking a moment to put a spotlight on the best the service has to offer. These are the very best 3DS eShop games!"
To celebrate the 10 year anniversary of retro indie platformer VVVVV, developer Terry Cavanagh has released the game’s original source code to the public.
NintendoSoup:
Minimal design, maximal fun. VVVVVV was originally released as a Flash game in 2010, and since then it’s been ported to everything under the sun. I remember playing and loving the 3DS release years back. And I’m happy to report that the game is as good as ever on the Switch. In fact, this might be the best version yet.
