WWW

About

VVVVVV is a 2010 puzzle-platform game by Terry Cavanagh in which the player cannot jump, but instead flips gravity to fall upward or downward, navigating over 400 rooms as Captain Viridian. WWW is a low-resolution, browser-based tribute to VVVVVV, built with the melonJS HTML5 game engine for the 2014 Low Resolution GameJam. It reuses VVVVVV's core mechanic — no jumping, only gravity-flipping — with its own pixelated art, plot, and levels, and is released under the GPLv3.

How it differs from the original

WWW uses entirely original pixel art, music, and a parody plot (Captain Viridian of the D.S.S. SoulEye) rather than VVVVVV's own assets or story, and was built specifically within the constraints of a 'low resolution' game jam.

Getting started

Play online via the live demo link, or download the repository, start a local web server, and open the game's entry page in a browser; a Node-based build step (`npm install` then `grunt`) compiles the development source into a minified production version for faster loading.

History

WWW was created for the 2014 Low Resolution GameJam (#lowrezjam) as an explicit tribute to Terry Cavanagh's VVVVVV.
