Nice level. I especially liked the heavy press "boss battle".

And now I notice the Hero(core) reference.

[Iji]

I think the screenshot shows Iji, who is an anomaly in the story and is even called an anomaly in the game.

Yes, that's it. The main character's name is Iji, but everyone calls her Anomaly.

So it was just a coincidence.

I do recommend the game to everyone. Funny how I learned about HC from Terry, and now I'm reminding him of Iji.

An exhaustive google/forum search revealed nothing. I only got the game a week ago so that's why I didn't spot it until now. I guess playing it so much recently is why the word anomaly made the bells ring in my head.

What makes it strange is the fact that the rooms were named by Bennett Foddy after they were designed.

I get to listen to an awesome song without paying for it, so I'm pretty sure something is wrong here.

V1, V2, V3, V4, VV, (VV)V1, (VV)V2, (VV)V3, (VV)V4, VX, (VX)V1...

That's extremely cool. I guess we should experience that IRL, so tell us your location so we can see if our orbits pass anywhere near.

Many of the song sound a bit messy from the preview. But the piano remixes of Pushing Onwards / Positive Force sound great, as does the guitar Passion for Exploring.  I'm also interested what all you've made out of Pressure Cooker, hard to get a good picture from the preview.

VVVVVV has gained some fame on GameFAQs. It was voted the 5th best indie game of the year, and a top ten list has it as the second best indie game on Steam.

This is one game that's missing from the polls. The original inspiration for the Gravitron.

Anyone beat my high score of 2800?

Isn't it possible to use Invincibility and cross from SS1 into SS2, rescuing the other crewmates but not Violet?

No, that bug rescues Violet but makes Vitellary unrescuable. Or whoever you decide to go to after breaking out of SS1.

Niice.  Fun!

The Brass: how do you do those?  Especially the playing-as-a-fish thing.

You don't anymore, it was fixed in the patch. To do it, you would talk to Victoria with 19 trinkets in the shelves and the last one in her pocket. Then you would end the game in the beginning of the dialogue with Victoria (which is impossible post-patch) and go into the last level time trial.

That bug was caused by exiting the game mid-discussion, and that was fixed. However, exiting the game mid-combine was not patched, resulting in this mega-bug.

LMAO XD

...and I thought playing as a fish and getting 3 out of 1 trinkets on the final level was a big bug.

Works, cool.

The play online version on YoYo games is the old one, btw. You should change that.

-Bababadalgharaghtakamminarronnkonnbronntonnerronntuonnthunntrovarrhounawnskawntoohoohoordenenthurnuk: Great music, solid gameplay, nice twist, graphical experimentation, perversions and goddamn Finnegan's Wake.
-Radio Silence: First and best Unity game. Creates a gameplay that is both old and new from very basic elements.
-Defen: Interesting concept, though not entirely new. Some direction would be nice, but I was able to figure out the game. Lose the annoying sfx. In all, 3/5.
-Vegetable game: It's a full functional game. Challenging in a good way. Funny theme. Bonus points for Leopold.
-Envy for Lucky Sally: Silly in the best way. Fine gameplay.
