“Oh shit i’m sorry....”

VVVVVV or v or v6 (i just call it v) is a platformer where you don’t jump but rather flip upside down. What you get is a short adventure of 7 levels that each take advantage of this simple mechanic. This game goes all out with just this one idea and it’s really charming to see it play out. It’s also challenging but always fair.
Seeing only one simple mechanic used might seem difficult to make a game out of but each level adds small things that shake up the anti gravity in interesting ways.

The aesthetic is very nice going for a commodore 64 and atari style. Typically with these indie games you’ll see 8 bit or 16 bit graphics but v’s use of the old computer game feel makes it feel differnent than other indie games.

One of my favorite indie games.
