He also made “Roadtrip to the Moon”, and “Golden Spiral”, which is without a doubt the trickiest level of the ten! You might know Roger Svanlund, aka Rox as the creator of that super cool 3D mockup video VVVVVVX! Rox made not one, but three levels for the new version of the game! My favourite of his is “Line Wrap”, which is a great looking themed level that does some clever things with wraping rooms. Roger Svanlund: Line Wrap, Roadtrip to the Moon, and Golden Spiral His level is “Variation Venture”, and is a short adventure divided into four parts around a central hub! He’s the creator of the awesome Xbox Indies title Upbot Goes Up, as well as Johnny Platform’s Biscuit Romp and the awesome two player platformer Treasure Treasure. (Incidently, Magnus’ levels are the only ones of the pack to use scripting, which unfortunately wasn’t implemented in time for other people to use it.)Ĭraig Forrester, aka Ishi, is a UK indie developer and also attends the jams here in Cambridge. His “New Dimension” level is also by far the biggest of the pack, occupying a very good chunk of a 20×20 map! I love these levels because they feel like his music – in that they’re saturated with ideas and little details and care. Magnus PÁ¥lsson, aka Souleye, is the musician for VVVVVV! I’m really impressed with his levels for this – he made two, “Dual Challenge” and “ A New Dimension“, and it’s clear he really put his heart and soul into them. Magnus PÁ¥lsson: Dual Challenge and A New Dimension His level, “Vertiginous Viridian”, does some really clever things and explores some very interesting level ideas! I’m a big fan of his level design! He frequently attends the jams we hold in Cambridge, and was one of the first people I thought of for this. Jonathan Whiting is the indie developer responsible for Stalwart, Love Letter, Crushd and Jed, among many other games. His level is an extremely cool themed world called “Pyramid of Doom”, which incidently is one of the easier levels in the pack, so it might be a good place to start if your VVVVVV skills are rusty… Robson is the creator of YYYYYY, an awesome ASCII demake of VVVVVV which I loved to bits. Let me tell you a bit about them (and the people that made em): Everyone came through big time I’m totally blown away at what they came up with! Those ten levels are included with the new version. While working on the editor, I sent early versions to a few friends and asked them to have a go at making something with it. Over the last couple of weeks I’ve been working flat out, trying to make this as powerful and simple to use as possible, and I’m really looking forward to seeing what people do with it. Big news, guys! I’m launching a MASSIVE update to VVVVVV today, as part of the new Humble Indie Bundle!This is a complete rewrite of the game to C++, making it run faster and better on Windows, Mac, and, finally, on Linux!īut even more than that: there’s now also a level editor in the game! I’m really excited about this – it’s something I’ve wanted to do ever since launch last year.
