How do you make a platform game without jumping? That's the question legendary indie game developer Terry Cavanagh asks in VVVVVV, the iconic gravity-flipping platformer. Boasting a very deserved, 'overwhelmingly positive' 96% Steam rating, this classic retro-styled adventure just got its first update in two years with the launch of VVVVVV version 2.4, which brings the game to Steam Deck verified status along with localization upgrades and a wealth of other tweaks.

This update also brings the game up to Steam Deck verified status, as well as featuring a host of bug fixes and performance improvements. You can read the full changelog on the vsix wiki here.

None of this would be possible without the many contributors to the game's source code on github; in particular I want to give a big thanks to Dav999, who led the localisation project for this update. I also want to thank Misa Kai, Reese, Ally, Moth, and everyone else who contributes to keeping VVVVVV alive in ways big and small - I love this game, and I couldn't do this without you
