V1.2 of the full version.

This sanctioned, sir? A clever advertising trick? If not, things are about to get unpleasant.

Nope :(

I haven't seen it, but there's not much I can do about that, any more than I could stop people torrenting the game or downloading it on rapidshare or whatever.

My guess is that they probably cracked the Kongregate version.

And now that I look at it, the background is the wall texture from the latter half of the final level. It's indeed now the VVVVVV board.

Rapidshare and torrents may be a wild west, but *** is a stable website and very tangible. They even have their own legal email adress. Certainly stoppable if you want, but a free ad's a free ad.

I just saw it - thanks for letting me know. Hope you don't mind, but I've removed references to the website from this thread for obvious reasons.

Arkatox

I was gonna look at up, but I can figure why you don't want the website name on here.

Whirligig

So people don't go to the site and download VVVVVV, duh.

Arkatox

Yeah. I did say "can", not "can't", you know.

And I thought TheBrass said it was embedded?

The Brass

Embedded or not, it can still easily be downloaded.

Arkatox

Yeah, but downloading swfs is just stupid. It's not as cool as having an exe.

The Brass

But paying for the game is the coolest, so when you've already lost so many cool points the file format matters little.

Arkatox

Yeah. I admit, it always feels better to actually legally own games.

That why I love the Humble Indie Bundles. ;D
