Aztaro Reviews VVVVVV

Title: VVVVVV
Platform: 3DS, PC
Genre: Platformer
Online Interactions: To download

You're a captain of your ship, with your trusty crew you go out and explore space. Though one day there seems to be a problem with the ship, everyone goes to evacuate. You make it out safe and sound in another part of the ship but... where did everyone else go? You must use you ability to flip gravity to trek the remains and not only search for your crew, but figure out what caused the problem to the ship and teleporters.

This is a game made off the older principles of platformers to bring you a fun but still challenging experience. With only a few buttons and the map, you must go on a scavenger hunt to find your crew and cause of why everything in the ship seems to be messing up. They have computers with some witty and serious messages and most of the "rooms" in areas have neat names as well. This just has the feeling of an old game to it and that's good to see even in new games. Also if you're a completionist, there's some nice shinys that need collecting and if you do collect certain amounts you unlock game music to listen to on your ship.

Rating: 80/100

Reason: The good old nostalgic feel, the simplicity and it's down right fun, though some points get very tough and the screen changing from "room" to "room" can be a bit disorienting. Also some of the shinys aren't that easy to get, besides those, worth a play through or 2.
