[PC] VVVVVV for Vendetta

Pshaw. V ranks are easy, son.

Spoiler:

My best V rank times:

Space Station 1


The Laboratory


The Tower


Space Station 2


The Warp Zone


The Final Level

This is coming from a guy that had a pitiful first run with over 1k deaths. Though I mainly blame my crappy gamepad for that one. I subsequently switched over to keyboard controls and found out that I do a whole lot better. (And it has to be the V key. Not Z. Not up/down. Not spacebar. V!)

So in theory, I could do Doing Things The Hard Way blindfolded now.

Yes. As a matter of fact, the route for shiny #2 was more problematic than DTTHW when I was practicing Space Station 2.

About I'm Sorry, I found out that if you walk off the ledge from the checkpoint, you can never make it through that gap. If you flip though, you can. Not 100% positive, but I think flipping gives you a tiny boost of speed in the air, and more bounce on the gravity lines. Going back through is considerably easier. If you could line yourself dead center with the edge of the bottom platform and flip left from there, you'll make it.

Speaking of bugs, there's a nasty one in Three's Company at the Final Level that also has something to do with lines. Sometimes while bouncing through the first part, Viridian goes into a flip and messes up with your timing. This made V ranking the level harder than it should be. I hear there's a patch to be released soon, hopefully fixing this along with some other issues. And adding a time trial restart key.

You can still explore the areas you haven't been to and go back for the tokens after completing the game, no worries about that.

Excellent. I was just about to post about this.

Going to try breaking my old V records now. My first post will be updated accordingly.

EDIT: Apparently, v1.1 was bugged. Link changed to v1.2.

I have to say that looks most unfortunate, yet it's definitely impressive lasting that long. I've been playing the Super Gravitron myself ever since the update, and managed to make it up to the half minute mark. Though I still lack the skill to last longer than that. (And I'm still unsure how to use the looping sides to my advantage.)

This game made me do stuff like this.
