A.V. Club writes: "If the less-is-more approach to game design had a poster child, it could very well be Irish developer Terry Cavanagh. Two years ago, Cavanagh quit his job as a market-risk analyst, took out a loan, and has been living on that to pursue game-making more seriously. But his decidedly lo-fi, minimalist games aren't trying to capitalize on what's been referred to as the "retro fetish," they look like Commodore 64 games because Cavanagh thinks his self-described inability to draw is an asset, not a hindrance. From the poignant Judith and Best Years to the perplexing Bridge and foreboding Don't Look Back, each of his successive releases have garnered more and more attention, with the spotlight most recently bathing January's unpronounceable VVVVVV."
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.
