Yes. You read the headline right. Terry Cavanaugh\u2019s 2010 game VVVVVV<\/a> has received a new update in 2021. It\u2019s been over seven years since the game saw a patch, so why now?<\/p>\n

Early last year, Cavanaugh made the source code for VVVVVV public and let people mess around with the game. As a result of opening up the game, update 2.3 features many changes, all of which are linked in Cavanaugh\u2019s blog about the release. While this is an official release for the game, its creator didn\u2019t do most of the work on the newest version but was the gatekeeper for what made it in.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve personally added very, very little to this update \u2013 which is something that I feel maybe a little anxious about! But I\u2019ve been very careful\u00a0to make sure that every change is something I was happy with, and that none of the changes to the game were doing anything other than making this the best version of the 2010 game,\u201d\u00a0said Cavanaugh about the project.<\/p>\n

While there are a bunch of changes to the game, here\u2019s what\u00a0stands\u00a0out to\u00a0Cavanaugh as key changes:<\/p>\n
