VVVVVV / Re: CCCCCCCCCC
February 04, 2012, 02:58:33 AM
The name was originally "Familiar Tune." The "Fushing Onwards" name was actually Souleye's suggestion if I remember correctly. It's supposed to rhyme (in my mind at least) with "pushing." For some reason I always imagine "to fush" as meaning "to attempt to swim against a current."

But yeah, you're supposed to use the old Windows encoding whose name I can't remember. I designed it for XP, so it might have issues on Vista/7. The Linux/Ubuntu/WINE encoding looks bad as well, but it's not *too* bad--everything just looks like rectangles.

My favorite track is probably Flip Happy. Also, you might want to check out Fushing the Limit if you liked Fushing Onwards ... it's here.

Minor typo: The word in Notch's website name is spelled "tumblr," not "tumbler."

Reminder to everyone: the last time he made sure we knew that it was just an idea and not a promise, the topic was VVVVVV 2.0.

It's been almost two years since VVVVVV was released. Shouldn't you update the News text in the upper right of the forum layout?

And for some reason, it reminds me of another song (not Pushing Onwards) that I can't seem to place. Is there any song that has the same beat (if anyone says Pushing Onwards, I will stab them with my Spork of Wondr.)

Positive Force.

(What? You said not to say Pushing Onwards, not Posit—AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAUUUUUUGGGGGHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!)

Pretty fun level, hard as hell though, but I'm not complaining, it's a bit harder than VVVVVV itself, so you've blown that standard out of the water. 10/9.99  :viridian: , it's not a perfect 10/10, but I'll give you a trinket face of sympathy and liking.

:shiny: _ :shiny:

You mean 9.99/10. 10/9.99 would be about 10.01001/10. :D

As I've heard, "4 out of every 3 people have trouble with fractions."

VVVVVV / Re: What are the lyrics?
September 23, 2011, 12:22:37 AM
If I could be somebody else,
I'd be Magnus PÃ¥lsson.
No soundtrack music from anyone else
Gives me such an amazing hard-on.
The acousticness of instruments isn't really it,
No, the counterparts and melodies is what makes it fit,
And everyone is praising the awesome, awesome tunes,
But no one has a troll face like prunes.
(OR DO THEY?)

YEAH, Magnus is a monster, his music does the rage,
The pause music tends to do weird things to your brains,
Potential for Anything is a b**** to arrange,
How about using less than [a] hundred melodies for a change?

Anyway, now that's been said,
I think you all agree
That if you're waiting for something good,
You are waiting for pee PPPPPP.

If I could be somebody else,
I would be Terry Cavanagh.
Making the games like Don't Look and VVVVVV,
And everyone played them in awe.
That awesomeness of graphics isn't really it,
No, the gameplay and story is what makes it fit,
And everyone is playing in the evil evil rooms
But no one ever sad-face or glooms.
(OR DO THEY?)

Yet Terry is a monster, I think we all know that,
The levels that he did make you want to call him ****,
And making things the hard way, I really don't like that,
The joke's on me, it's silly, I'm feeling like a prat.

Anyway the [something],
I think you all agree
That if you're waiting for something good,
You are waiting for VVVVVV.

I can understand all but those couple of words near the end.

Sorry for ressurecting this ancient thing, but I just gotta know: WHEN IS THIS GONNA BE FINISHED?! I seriously want this.

I hate to tell you this, but it was just a mockup, and I have honestly no idea if Rox has ever thought more about making it into an actual game.
