Pros
Pro Use gravity to solve puzzles
The main mechanic in the game is that the player can switch the gravity in any level allowing the character to flip from the bottom of the screen to the top. This is used in an ingenious way in order to solve puzzles and avoid hazards throughout each level.
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.
Pro Immersive mode
Tomb Raider I supports immersive mode, allowing for devices with software navigation bars to have them hidden for full screen gaming.
Pro Controller support
Tomb Raider I has support for MOGA and Logitech controllers, which will greatly help with the more difficult moments of the game.
Pro Very cheap price with zero in app purchases
At $0.99 it is hard to not pass up purchasing this title. Considering there are zero in app purchases is also quite a refreshing thing to see, especially considering SE's current trend of IAP filled releases.
Cons
Con Difficult
VVVVVV is a tough game, one that will cause frustration quite easily. Luckily there are unlimited lives in the game, so areas can be played over and over again with no consequences.
Con Not much of a story
The basic plot is that you are trying to save your crew members, but really it is just a loose story to tie the levels together as there is really not much there to discover.
Con Controls are awkward
Judging this games controls against any current 3D titles and they will appear to be pretty archaic. While they remain the same from the original title, controls are very difficult and are made even more so with the implementation of touch screen.
