By TerrySince the new version of VVVVVV launched, there have been a lot of amazing levels made for it – too many for me to cover, really. When I pick levels to feature, I try to stick to the best of the best – the ones that do something really special. Unfortunately, this means that a lot of great levels get overlooked…
So, I’ve decided to do a few roundup posts to highlight a few other levels I really liked, which you’ve probably missed unless you’ve been reading my forum!
These levels are a little rough around the edges compared to other levels that I’ve featured – some are glitchy, some are really hard, some are unpolished – but I think they’re all levels that fans of VVVVVV will enjoy a lot. There are 15 in all; here are the first five!
“Virtual V” by Vimol
This is a great little level that has a bit of a Manic Miner feel. It makes some pretty fantastic use of roomtext.
“Reactor Disaster” by Kris Asick (Gemini)
Reactor Disaster is a fairly large level with a lot of scripting. It’s quite hard, but very polished, and it has a lot of interesting challenges.
“Mirror rorriM” by PJBottomz
On the other end of the scale, PJBottom’z Mirror rorriM has no challenges at all; no spikes and no enemies. I liked it for its simplicity and singular focus.
“Castle Darkdeath” by Hatless
I found Castle Darkdeath utterly charming; it has some incredibly rough edges, but also some really imaginative challenges.
“The RYB maze” by S. Piqueras
The RYB maze I like because it’s so different from other VVVVVV levels – I found it really got interesting for me when I got as far as the room titled “The Bouncy, much much better edition”. I recommend sticking with it, even if you’re finding it a little confusing at the start!
You can get all five levels from the download below. I’ll post the other 10 over the next week!
To play a these VVVVVV player levels, extract the .vvvvvv files into your VVVVVV levels folder. On windows, that should be in My Documents/VVVVVV, on Mac it’s Documents/VVVVVV, on Linux it’s ~/.vvvvvv
Thanks for your article. I also think that laptop computers have grown to be more and more popular right now, and now are often the only type of computer employed in a household. This is due to the fact that at the same time actually becoming more and more very affordable, their processing power keeps growing to the point where they may be as potent as desktop out of just a few years back.
