My favorite indie release from last year, VVVVVV just got a big update to version 2.0. Creator Terry Cavanagh has completely rewritten the game in C++, meaning it should run better and faster. Great news for Macbook users, as they should now run a lot cooler while playing the game!
The biggest change is the new level editor, meaning you can now make your own fiendish platform puzzles. It’s not the easiest thing in the world to use, but it works well. Best of all, ten new player levels created by other developers have been added. These include a level by the Souleye, composer of VVVVVV’s soundtrack and the legendary Notch, creator of Minecraft!
VVVVVV 2.0 is currently being sold as part of the latest Humble Bundle, a collection of indie games that allows customers to pay what they want and choose how their purchase is divided, between developers and charities. It will soon be available to buy again from the game’s homepage, for Windows, Mac and Linux . The VVVVVV demo is available on Windows and Mac.
