Damn your non-vaulting legs! It's a mark of the designer's wit that he begins this notorious segment with a literal stumbling block. You stand on a platform on the first screen, "Doing Things The Hard Way" (every room in the game is named something), separated from the extra credit bauble by a waist-high barrier. Like every good dare, they start with a taunt. They're a crazy dare you can't help but accept, because you'll always remember that you couldn't do it if you don't do it. The main plot, rescuing stranded members of your crew, is tough the VVV rooms themselves are an optional challenge. Checkpoints appear in nearly every room and you respawn fast Quintin Smith probably said it best by saying that VVVVVV's checkpoints "allow players to exist forever in the scorching heat of insurmountable challenges."

In VVVVVV, you use a simple gravity-flipping mechanic (no jumping) to progress through various snappy platforming challenges, packaged as individual rooms.

It's the titular sequence of rooms called Veni, Vidi, Vici!*, and in it you learn how to play games again. Everyone who plays the game will remember it Kieron Gillen already wrote about it. There's a sequence in VVVVVV that deserves to be famous.

If you want to set friends at each others' throats over a game, there's no better question than "how hard was it?" You're asking "how much did the game frustrate you," or, finally, "how much do you suck at playing games?" The conversation enters a death spiral as one party says old games aren't playable, another says every good game is hard, another says that real men play Wizardry, and someone or everyone is called a "baby."īut it doesn't have to be like this! If everyone plays Terry Cavanagh's VVVVVV, the world might be mended.
