love this! honestly, i think it's harder than the white palace is in hollow knight hahaha. great work

It's the warp zone, but you play as Vermilion.
Spiritual successor to 'Space Station 1 Backwards With Verdigris', a level I made in 2014.
Designed for VVVVVV 2.4.

i use up! always have

wow okay in hindsight this is like, a shockingly accurate recreation of Ib... its a lot more fun if you go into the level knowing its a recreation of that game. it's not like, mindblowing or anything but it is genuinely fun recognizing parts of the game that were recreated

i mean, thats probably right! i dont remember what i was thinking though... maybe it was really... psychic powers...

can we get source code Jan 11 2020

wow, uh, yeah. 2017 moth had the gift of prophecy i guess!

so glad this is finally out!!! i loved the gameplay but more importantly the story is incredibly poignant. and it's got a great sense of humor throughout! so glad you made this even after all this time

space station nwn was my favorite for sure.

really cool concept! i know this is just a demo, but it's a lot of fun! i can't wait to see what its like when its complete!!!

absolutely incredible feat on display here

check this one out when you can! its fun, has pretty good writing, and is very emotionally raw. and it has great and unique little minigames!

i played this with ally in a voice call and it was pretty fun! i could not finish it nor do i speak french, but she translated stuff along the way (except for the long story in elene's archives which she refused to read). also the music and sounds are hilarious

had a great time with this level! there were a couple of misspelled words if that's something you care about,  but they didn't really hamper my enjoyment of it, really. also, this is probably one of the funniest roomnames i've ever seen:

yeah, i think what you had to say was really insightful! i don't tend to play a lot of levels myself, but i agree that a lot of really interesting and unique levels fly under the radar and aren't interrogated for what they are. Wequer's level from the contest was an incredible and one-of-a-kind experience, and i don't think i would have played it if it wasn't submitted for that. which would have been a shame!


and, Wisp - i think i may have come off a little strong, its just that your extremely sarcastic reply shocked me... you're entitled to your own interpretation. i personally don't really understand where you got it from and it left me wondering if we even played the same thing, but you don't have my brain and it makes perfect sense that we won't interpret everything the same way! i stand by what i said, but just know that it's not an indictment or anything

this is a really jaded and, like... disturbing interpretation. not once does this level mock or look down upon 'bad art' - the most it does is call it by that label, and it does so positively and in a deconstructed way. it's about genuinely and earnestly appreciating works of art that may be looked down upon in the very way you're describing because they don't fit conventional standards of 'goodness'.

it celebrates the joy of creating what you want, loving yourself, and not caring about what other people think. unshackled isn't included because it's 'unconsciously authoritarian' - it was consciously sanitized and stripped of the joy of the creative process in order to be 'acceptable' to others.

also, it feels kind of ridiculous to place the burden of eliminating a toxic community culture on a single work. just because it instantly didn't disappear the moment Detox hit the forums doesn't mean that it didn't have a meaningful impact... it took years for those attitudes to go away, and i personally believe that some of that introspection was directly caused by people playing this level - and learning about a way of thinking they hadn't thought of before. change doesn't occur in a vacuum, and it takes time and effort from lots of people.
