Oh man, this game. I can't believe how much I keep playing it, even after beating it so many times.
I especially like that there are very few "cheap tricks" in this game, you almost always get a chance to see what's coming. Then, even on the rare occasions something particularly unfair happens, it's usually just one room and there's a checkpoint there. This is how to make a game hard without making it punishing or too frustrating. Not to mention how amazing the music feels with every section, especially (in my opinion) the tower section. That song in there is just perfect.
SUPER GRAVITRON!

I played the demo a few days ago, I saw (and played) "Don't look back" browsing trough Alt + Escape and I found a video of vvvvvv at the "developers site" link.
VERY creative game indeed, when you strip a game to the bare basics like these examples, the gameplay shines or tanks the entire game. And these games certainly shine.

This game, is perfect!
It has one of the simplest stories in gaming (I.E. your ship is attacked, your crew mates are lost, go look for crew mates) and it has unique portal like puzzles. If I can get the money I will buy it.
5/5

I love how the game's story is consistent with itself but on the game itself you're dodging ghosts and jumping stop signs.
It's a great game, but I don't think I'm hardcore enough to play it
I'll buy it if they do one of those anniversay sales all the cool kids are doing nowadays.
