“This isn't the famous VVVVVV indie game, but just, er, a random game which, "coincidentally" happens to have a similar game. I played little of it before I realized the trick, but I must admit it wasn't terrible, still, what a cheap trick.”
“dissapointed to find out this was in no way related to vvvvvv. Gameplay is fine but still pretty uninteristing.”
