When I was first playing it at my mate’s place I was all “THIS IS THE BIT WHERE YOU HAVE TO ISE THE ICE BEAM TO JUMP UP!” and “OMG YOU NEED THE VARIA SUIT TO GO THROUGH THERE!” Like the screen below. Even more strikingly, some screens feel as though they were ripped directly out of Metroid games. The game’s presentation and soundtrack is very reminiscent of the original on the NES, giving the game a similar lost and isolated in space feel. The games most frustrating sections involve leading lost crew members back to the ship, these fools rank slightly above lemmings on the intelligence scale and will whine to you about girl problems while you frantically save their life.Īside from the game’s devastating difficulty, veterans of Zebes will immediately feel the strong influence of Metroid on this title. One area will have you dodging projectiles, another will have bars that force you to change gravity mid air. So I guess that’s why you can walk on the ceiling when you feel like it! Each area of the dimension provides a simple twist on this mechanic. The games charmingly worthless story pits you as a space captain who’s ship and crew have entered another dimension. It’s a platformer where, instead of jumping you press space to invert your personal gravity and walk on the ceiling. The entire game is built around a single game mechanic, gravity inversion. The next time I could touch my computer I bought this $5 masterpiece. VVVVVV? Is this the stupidest name ever? A more courageous friend of mine did buy the pack though and a few days ago I played it his place. $5 for 5 indy games? But I already own two and two more of them aren’t Mac compatible! And this fifth game.
So there were a bunch of sales on Steam and as usual I was too tentative to buy anything.
