This is one of those occasional moments where I wish I had a twitter.

I just got through Doing Things the Hard Way! I can’t believe I finally did it.
This game is beautiful.

So there will be further beta releases before the final release?

Yup, I saw the term in the Rob Fearon article and borrowed it.

D, I believe Josiah is referring to games like Jet Set Willy, not VVVVVV itself. I imagine Jet Set Willy was an inspiration for VVVVVV, though I’ve never actually read that anywhere.

Surrealist Irish platformer, I think you’ll find!

Stephen: There’s a couple of tracks more than the main theme, but only one that links directly to the main theme. They’re all a bit similar though due to having the same composer.

ZekeSulastin: Yes, they will be easily available.

There’s more music than the main theme, as far as I can tell there’s about 4 tracks, give or take, that play depending on what zone you’re in. All the music is great! I think they all tend have a refrain that links back into the main theme, too, which is pretty cool.

These reviews are making it harder and harder to be responsible and fight the urge to preorder the game before I ~~own stock in keyboard manufacturers~~ can play the demo to see if I’d actually enjoy the game ._. It’s looked at least somewhat interesting since its humble beginnings as a ‘side project’ and watching the trailer and seeing these reviews makes it look great …

Out of curiosity’s sake, may I ask how the full version will be distributed come release, whether it be Steam or passcode or some other arcane method? (Also, there’s more music than just the main theme in the game?! Please tell me it’s either easy to get to like Iji’s or additionally available somehow ;_;)

Great reviews man! Defining title is almost an understatement. This game has become huge and greatly anticipated all over the world.

It dawned on me that to become great you must be ready to lose it all. And that’s what you’ve done, Terry. You’re an inspiration to us all!
