Also supports 21 new languages
It’s been a while since I played VVVVVV and I don’t remember it being particularly verbal, but its newly supported languages are: Catalan, Arabic, Welsh, German, Esperanto, Spanish, French, Irish, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Dutch, Polish, Brazilian Portuguese, European Portuguese, Russian, Silesian, Turkish, Ukranian, Chinese (simplified) and Chinese (tradiitional).
Thefull 2.4 changelogincludes a host of bug fixes and upgrades. It’s not clear what’s changed to earn the verified status, but the only eplicit mention of the Steam Deck is that the game will now launch in fullscreen by default when booted on a Deck or in Steam’s Big Picture mode.
This newest update is likewise the work of volunteers tinkering with its open source code.
VVVVVV is a platformer in which you can’t jump. Instead, pressing a button flips gravity, causing your interstellar explorer protagonist to flip between the ground and the ceiling of whatever single-screen room you’re in. This is your one ability in overcoming its various platforming challenges, and its delightful, particularly when paired with its Spectrum-throwback graphics and propulsive chitptune soundtrack. Fourteen years later, it remains on our list of thebest platformersfor a reason.
