It’s certainly playable, but buyer beware. ### 2/5 — Too bad *2025-11-04* The game is really excellent but please make a full screen version for the latest models, i’m on iPhone 17 i just bought the game and it takes only half of the screen ! ### 4/5 — Fun, but *2025-07-29, version 1.02* I wish there was the invulnerability cheat, like on PC, for when I get really stuck. ### 3/5 — Great game…but… *2025-05-28, version 1.02* This game is great. It’s fun, worth the money, and just all around amazing! However, this port is old. Like, super old. It was last updated in (I believe?) 2017-2018. It doesn’t receive as much attention as the PC version, and it’s showing. It works fine right now, but it’s starting to break down, and in another 5 years it’ll probably be even worse. Buy the PC version. There’s much more you can do with it, and it isn’t breaking down ### 2/5 — Great game, ABYSMAL PORT. *2025-02-11, version 1.02* I have this game on PC and on my 3DS and I love it, so i decided to buy it on my phone to have an excuse to rebeat it another time but the port is just AWFUL, the image looks all blurry and bad, theres giant black borders and the controls are ok, but not the best. And the worst part is that Apple doesn’t consider the almost unplayable state of the port a valid point to get a refund. Nice :| I am dead serious, DO NOT BUY THIS. ### 4/5 — PC version is way better trust me *2024-11-24, version 1.02* Good game but the mobile version needs polish. The sensitivity is too high and the graphics aren’t good, about 30fps on mine. I’m worried that the GitHub people aren’t gonna shower this version with attention. If nobody else will do it, I will :/ ### 4/5 — Would like a more modern update *2024-06-25, version 1.02* Game is fantastic and have been a fan for over a decade. The iPhone port works, and its touch support is surprisingly good. iPad port is lacking- needs a bilinear scaler wfor retina displays and gamepad/keyboard support. Please show this game some love! ### 3/5 — update your game *2023-04-08, version 1.02* it has been 5 years since this game has been updated and it needs one now. i want to use the level editor. and why is the resolution so bad? ### 4/5 — LOVE this game! *2023-01-24, version 1.02* This is such a great game, and it works well on iOS too! I played originally on a PC, so getting used to the touch controls was tricky — I’d definitely appreciate being able to use the arrow keys/space bar from a connected keyboard board (eg. The Magic Keyboard for the iPad) for nostalgia! ### 4/5 — Please update *2022-11-17* Would be perfect if it was updated to fit the new iPhone screen sizes. ### 2/5 — ゲームはいいが操作が難関 *2022-08-13* スマホだと細かい操作が難しく 気持ちよくプレイできない ### 4/5 — Fantastic - but give us Pixel-Perfect! *2022-07-24, version 1.02* Love this game, really truly deeply - even if I'm miserable at it! Why 4 out of 5? Bilinear (or trilinear/etc) filtering on my ipad - blurry edges on the pixels. I was shocked to not see an option for this in the settings. Is this an iOS / game engine limitation? I'd love to see this in the sharp, blocky way I'm used to from PC! ### 5/5 — Please update this app. *2022-04-26, version 1.02* Please update VVVVVV or Apple will remove it from the App Store. ### 5/5 — Fantastic game *2022-04-23, version 1.02* One of my favorites mobile games. Very well done ### 5/5 — Best mobile game of all time *2022-03-10, version 1.02* I bought this game back in Jan. 2015 when i was younger. I spent hours playing and eventually beat the game. I had to reinstall for the nostalgia, this game will always have a special place in my heart. I wish more people would play and enjoy it ### 5/5 — Very fun! *2021-11-01, version 1.02* This is a very fun game to play when you have nothing else to do! One of my favorite games to date! :D ### 5/5 — this is worlds best game *2021-10-09, version 1.02* i love this game so much add more soon plz. best game ever!!!1!!!1 ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Great game…but… *2025-12-11, version 1.02* This game is great. It’s fun, worth the money, and just all around amazing! With that being said, this port is old. Like, super old. It was last updated in (I believe?) 2017-2018. It doesn’t receive as much attention as the PC version, and it’s showing. Several of the user level built into this version of the game are impossible. This is due to how the mobile and other ports are designed Buy the PC version. There’s much more you can do with it, it isn’t breaking down, and everything built in works. Its a 5 star on PC but one stars here ### 1/5 — Great Game hindered by awful performance... *2023-10-28, version 1.02* Recently decided to buy VVVVVV on iOS to have another way to play the game, and unfortunately the performance is awful. Laggy with constant clipping audio as well as a rather low resolution. Tested on the iPhone 14 Pro Max on iOS 17.1, so it's likely my device is wayyy too new to properly enjoy it. Disappointed as it plays perfectly on every other platform I have the game on. (PC, Mac, PS Vita, Switch and 3DS). ### 1/5 — UPDATE IT NOW *2022-08-20, version 1.02* UPDATE IT TO V2 ALREADY I WANNA TEST OUT THE LEVEL EDITOR ### 1/5 — Impossible 100% *2020-08-26, version 1.02* The Game Never Ends When You Reach The Final Challenge ### 1/5 — Bad words *2019-09-13, version 1.02* Don’t play it’s a waste of time ### 1/5 — Swearing Secret *2017-06-04, version 1.01* If you go to a place in this game you will meet a person who swears, by saying the F-word and the D-word. ### 1/5 — Good game, horrible iPad controls *2017-05-20* The game is top. But skip the iOS version if you plan to use the touch controls. A good, hard game becomes a frustrating mess of luck. ### 1/5 — Sound *2017-03-27, version 1.01* Why can I not turn the sound off? I'd like to listen to podcasts while I play. This is the only game I have that doesn't have a sound option. ### 1/5 — Refund please *2017-03-21, version 1.01* Did not like at all ### 1/5 — Not Compatible for iPhone 6s *2017-03-21, version 1.01* Not compatible with iPhone 6s hello? I'll give it five stars If you guys fix this ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Please fix! *2026-03-01, version 1.02* What a fantastic game. I’ve had such a good time with it! It has real heart and offers a very solid challenge. BUT the last ‘Player World’ Golden Spiral (on the screen ‘Watch it bend’) is actually impossible on the refresh rate of modern mobile phones. A simple tweak would allow us to actually finally complete all of the worlds! Also as another reviewer has mentioned, the Super Gravitron high scores do not save, which is annoying. Other than that, superb, a fantastic game. ### 5/5 — 이미 갤노트10에서 해봤지만 넘 재밌어서 다운 *2025-07-11* 이미 다 깬 게임인데 너무 재밌고 브금도 좋아서 구매합니다 이런게임 많이 만들어줘요 요즘 게임 할게없어요 ### 5/5 — A-W-E-S-O-M-E— but pls add controler support *2025-06-22, version 1.02* This game is amazing and i have it on literally everything you can get VVVVVV on, but i would like controller support to be added ### 5/5 — One thing missing *2025-05-31, version 1.02* Please add controller support ### 5/5 — Have loved this game for a long time *2023-10-22* Happy to see there is an iOS port. It works very well. I only have one comment/suggestion. The game seems to use a bilinear filter, making pixels blurry which in my subjective opinion kind of detracts from the art style. I would love an integer scale or nearest neighbor mode, or as an alternative, a “sharp bilinear” filter, where the image is scaled 2x and then a bilinear filter is applied, still blurring adjacent pixels which prevents pixel shimmer in image when scaling the image to the screen and remaining visibly sharp. Thanks dev for this masterpiece of a game. ### 5/5 — Please. *2023-07-05, version 1.02* Please, do us gamers a favor, and add the level editor! Other than that, 10/10 game. ### 5/5 — Please. *2023-04-02* Please, do us gamers a favor, and add the level editor! Other than that, 10/10 game. ### 5/5 — What a great game! *2023-02-13, version 1.02* Gosh what a great game. Love it. Just needs to be updated for the wider size, because not having a reliable touch area makes it frustrating! And like others I have some occasional freezes when teleporting. ### 5/5 — awesome!! *2022-12-03, version 1.02* some of the levels shock me with how cool the ideas are, really inspiring ### 5/5 — great game *2022-09-27* but please update the game screen size is too small and resolution is very low --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
