VVVVV is a VVVVVeryyyy good game. It has literally no bullshit, which is nice. Cuts right to the chase. There's also a nice cohesion to it: the simple, angular gameplay is reflected in the simple angular graphics, and even the music has a crunchy lo-fi feel to it. There's a lot packed in here, and it's very replayable. VVVVV knocks it exactly, precisely, just bare atoms-widths beyond the bounds of the given park it occupies. It's an admirable feat, but it doesn't really go as far as it could.
