Indie game lookout: VVVVVV



Taking its graphical inspiration from games of the Spectrum/C64 era, VVVVVV is based upon a gravity-flipping mechanic. Instead of jumping, the stranded hero of this game is able to reverse gravity at the touch of a button, immediately falling upward into the ceiling.

Creator Terry Cavanagh has released a downloadable demo for both Mac and PC, as well as a browser-based Flash version on Kongregate. The full game is around $15.

This game is hard, so expect a lot of replay. Luckily the creator has incorporated this trial end error gameplay to its full extent. Simple and mindbogglingly cool
