Pro Throwback to Atari/C64 games while playing like a modern game
VVVVVV is very reminiscent of a game one would find for the Atari or Commodore 64 in that the graphics are simple, but the gameplay is anything but as it plays like nothing one would have found back then. It is fast paced and very precise, also extremely tough.

Users can connect over LAN or TCP/IP for up to 6 player co-op.
Pro New NPCs to choose from
There are two or three new NPCs your PC encounters, and can add one or more to your adventuring party.
Pro Plays like original with more portraits available for PCs and the Black Pits arena combat module
