VVVVVV
Description
"If you have any interest in challenging platformers whatsoever, you'd be doing yourself a disservice not to pick up VVVVVV." - Destructoid.com
"It's easy to recommend VVVVVV to fans of the "retro revival" games that seem to be gaining in popularity" - IGN.com
You play as the fearless leader of a team of dimension exploring scientists who inadvertently crash, and are separated. The game involves exploring the strange world you've found yourself in, and reuniting your friends.
VVVVVV explores one simple game mechanic: you cannot jump - instead, you reverse your own gravity at the press of a button. The game focuses on playing with this mechanic in a variety of interesting ways.
The game is designed not to artificially gate your progress. In VVVVVV there are no locks, no powerups, no switches, nothing to stop you progressing except the challenges themselves.

Very challenging. great game
ruready12 | March 15, 2012 | See all ruready12's reviews »I played this game for quite a bit on steam and I have to say, at first it looks like flash game material but the soundtrack kept me in. I soon discovered how addicting the game was and stood up all night playing it. The game will leave you screaming because its so hard, but you will come right back and vow you will beat it. The game is worth the money and its an overall great indie platformer with an amazing soundtrack and fun aspects.

Simple and awesome
dog1543 | March 7, 2012 | See all dog1543's reviews »VVVVVV is old school 2D sidescroller. You play as a little guy who can change gravity. Your objective is to save all of your friends. It's quite easy to complete this game. It has an awesome soundtrack, that gives a 90's nostalgia. For me, the game was very good and I enjoyed it. The price is too low for a game like this. I highly recommend to try this

A challenging retro 2D platformer with a great soundtrack
Bluer | Nov. 4, 2011 | See all Bluer's reviews »If you enjoy a challenge, retro graphical style and platform games then this is the game for you. You will love the charm, the character and the soundtrack is great. The difficulty is spot on and at the price this is on GMG then you'd be a fool to not try it. The environments are simple, but the 'puzzles' you will encounter will make you have to think on your feet, without getting too much (feels more comfortable than Super Meat Boy at any rate). Give this game a try and you may realise you've found a modern gem.

Nostalgia
STJ | Oct. 21, 2011 | See all STJ's reviews »Theres not much to say about this...See that cluster of Pixels with the two black dots on top?That's you.Your on a Spaceship with something goes terribly wrong and your crew is transported via emergency teleport into parts unknown,your goal is too find them.How do you accomplish this seemingly impossible task on the huge spaceship you ask?By reversing gravity.You will travel through many enemies,some with very tricky traps,moving platforms,hidden items and notes.While your doing all of that there is amazing music playing in the background guiding you through.Basically this game is at a low price as it is,and is way worth it,buy it and you will see,or download the demo first if you don't take my word :)

Awesome game at an unbelievable price!
Dweezy | Sept. 5, 2011 | See all Dweezy's reviews »The game's concept is very simple; you play as a little dude who can reverse gravity. You are a captain of a ship when something horrible has gone wrong. Now you have to reunite your crew members but you got to find them first! You must navigate through screens of obstacles to find them whilst using your ability to invert gravity whenever you so choose. This game is tough at times, very challenging (youtube VVVVVV venividivichi and you'll see what I mean). The retro-like music in the game is quite charming as well and the simplicity of the game makes it very enjoyable. Did I mention you can make your own levels too? (Try out the levels made by Notch!) All in all, great indie game to have in your collection.
