VVVVVV is one of the first platformers I completed, and it was a right treat. I'm glad you started to play; you're in for some fun, especially if you're after all 20 Trinkets!

I replay VVVVVV 100% every once in a while, and seeing Tyler actually taking time to get the Doing Things The Hard Way trinket (which is considered the hardest in the game) makes me respect him even more than I already do.

[@marcflaps]

Years later, I still have the muscle memory for doing things the hard way locked in. When you get it, you get it.

Some interesting room names. For example, one teleporter room was called the Philadelphia experiment, referencing a 1955 conspiracy theory that the US Navy turned a ship invisible and teleported it. Pretty interesting story if you haven’t heard of it before.

This game was a big part of my childhood. I remember being very proud of beating it and collecting all trinkets. And I was very sad after parting with the 3DS I had it on. Definitely a game I should replay some time, but for now watching you play it seems like a good time.

[@Nat_the_Chicken]

Ever since Terry released the source code on the game's 10 year anniversary, you can get a free PC "make and play" version which allows you to use the custom level editor and play other people's custom levels! You still have to pay if you want to play the original campaign though. (also hello fellow nz flightless bird)

I played this game when it first came out, and after 30 minutes i gave up on that trinket. Instead, i wrote a simple c# windows service that would stream inputs to the game, allowing me to write a little xml document with key timings to more or less TAS that section. Sure, i could have just played it for another 30 minutes and gotten it without cheating, but the cheating was so fun... One of the best soundtracks ever. Thanks for sharing this...
