Terry Cavanagh Is Testing Port Of 'VVVVVV'

Wednesday, January 30th, 2013

Super Hexagon creator Terry Cavanagh is testing a port of his other notable game, a pyrotechnic platformer called VVVVVV, on iOS. In a tweet this morning, Cavanagh said he's been trying to complete "no death mode" in the game on an iPhone when he has a couple of "moments to spare here and there." That doesn't mean a release is imminent, though. He also noted that it'll be "ages" before we see it.

If you're not familiar, check out the video we've embedded below. In a nutshell, it's a retro-inspired platformer with some radical music and a really neat "flip" mechanic. We can definitely see why it'd take awhile to nail an iOS port.

Terry Cavanagh's 'VVVVVV' Apparently Heading to iOS

Tuesday, October 16th, 2012

We just heard the shenanigans behind Terry Cavanagh's latest iOS game being rejected (and quickly resubmitted and approved), but here we've got some more news regarding the Super Hexagon [$2.99] developer. His desktop and Nintendo DS platforming hit VVVVVV looks like it's heading to iOS soon, as spotted by PocketGamer.

In the listing of available iOS games on Terry's Distractionware website, which includes Super Hexagon and the freshly-released Don't Look Back [Free], a small animated .gif of VVVVVV's main character Captain Viridian can be seen next to the words "Coming Soon..." which implies that an iOS version is in the works.

VVVVVV launched for desktops in early 2010 and garnered quite a bit of critical acclaim and a cult-like fan-base for its excruciating difficulty and minimalist retro visuals. How well this will translate to a button-less touchscreen remains to be seen, but I'm certainly game to try. We've seen plenty of platformers grace our iOS screens with stellar virtual controls, so I'm hoping it ends up being a non-issue.

As soon as more details surface regarding pricing and release date for VVVVVV on iOS, we'll be sure to bring them to you.
