Game Summary
In VVVVVV you play as Captain Viridian, brave commander of a spaceship whose crew members are accidentally teleported to random locations in an unknown dimension. While exploring the ship and its surroundings, you can switch the polarity of gravity at any time. You can “fall up” to extricate yourself from pits and walk across the ceiling when it’s too dangerous to step on the floor. Viridian uses this ability to search for teleporters, shiny collectible trinkets and the ship’s missing crew.

The concept is actually really cool and I like that it takes inspiration from the Commodore 64 days! Nostalgia right there!
I remember playing Math Blaster for the C64 back in elementary school! So seeing VVVVVV in action is really awesome.
