60FPS support and more

Back in April, we reported that classic platformerVVVVVVwasabout to get its first update in seven years. Now I can report: classic platformer VVVVVV has now received its first update in seven years.

The changelog is huge, but its key additions are 60FPS support, new graphical options, and hundreds of bug fixes.

Version 2.3 has been in the works since VVVVVV’s source code was released back in 2020, and has been in beta for a while. In ablog post about its release, designer Terry Cavanagh noted that the the update was a “direct result” of making the source code available.

I love VVVVVV. It came out back in 2010 and feels very much a part of that first indie game surge, alongside World Of Goo and Super Meat Boy andBraidand so on. But it also completely holds up, ten years later. It was retro-styled at the time of its release and it remains one of the all-time greatest platformers today.

The latest patchand its complete changelogmean that VVVVVV will continue to run well on modern machines. If you’ve never played it, I highly recommend picking it up for £4/$5 fromSteamorItch. If you have played it, then I recommend the completely freeMake And Play Edition, which includes player-made levels and a level editor to make your own.
