Sunday is VVVVVV day!
Distractionware, AKA Terry Cavanagh is releasing his now highly anticipated platformer VVVVVV on January 10th. There should be a demo, which will be reviewed here as soon as possible.Why should you be excited? Cavanagh is already the author of several distinctive, highly playable yet thought provoking titles, and VVVVVV looks like being the best of the lot.
To help you get in the mood, why not check out these free titles from last year? There’s the contemplative Pathways, intense Bullet Time, eerie Judith and the excellently atmospheric platformer Don’t Look Back.
The games are quirky, but always well designed. Expect some difficulty, too, although I’d say Cavanagh’s games are only difficult in comparison to many of today’s too easy console games. Make sure to visit thelettervsixtim.es, and play the game when it comes out - it should be an excellent start to what I hope will be a vintage year for indie games.
