Difficulty Summary

VVVVVV is considered a challenging game that consistently tests players without reaching extreme difficulty.

Why Players Find It Difficult

Players often find this game difficult because of several demanding mechanics:

Tight movement and timing requirements throughout
Small execution mistakes can quickly cause failure
Success depends on consistency across long sequences
Players are punished for poor decisions more than poor reflexes

Who Will Find It Difficult

VVVVVV will push beginners and may still frustrate experienced players in certain sections. Players comfortable with similarly demanding games will have the best time here. Players who rated games like Dead Cells, Celeste, and Darkest Dungeon at a similar challenge level may find VVVVVV broadly comparable in difficulty.

About VVVVVV

There's something terribly wrong in an alternate dimension! Help Captain Viridian flip to find five crew members, 20 hard-to-reach Trinkets and save a dimension on the brink of destruction. It's a space opera in the most unique scale with a style that only VVVVVV can bring to you. Instead of jumping, control the direction of gravity by inverting your gravity and allowing Captain Viridian to flip between the floors and ceilings of the environment. For adventurers who save the dimension, there's still hours and hours of new gameplay with all-new Player Levels. Test your mettle and see if you have what it takes to beat a collection of levels created by other famous game developers. Inspired by classic 8-bit days gone-by and now with experience-heightening 3D, VVVVVV will challenge even the most battle-hardened old-school gamers.
