VVVVVV

There's something terribly wrong in an alternate dimension! Help Captain Viridian flip to find five crew members, 20 hard-to-reach Trinkets and save a dimension on the brink of destruction. It's a space opera in the most unique scale with a style that only VVVVVV can bring to you. Instead of jumping, control the direction of gravity by inverting your gravity and allowing Captain Viridian to flip between the floors and ceilings of the environment. For adventurers who save the dimension, there's still hours and hours of new gameplay with all-new Player Levels. Test your mettle and see if you have what it takes to beat a collection of levels created by other famous game developers. Inspired by classic 8-bit days gone-by and now with experience-heightening 3D, VVVVVV will challenge even the most battle-hardened old-school gamers.

Estimates, not counts — nobody publishes real player numbers for mobile games, so these are modelled from public signals. How we work them out

What the estimate rests on

  • Google Play 45%
  • Steam 31%
  • App Store 24%

Player estimates

Nobody publishes how many people play VVVVVV, so these figures are modelled from the public counts on Google Play, App Store, Steam, Twitch. Each count stands in a roughly known ratio to a population — one Play rating per ~45 players, one Steam review per ~35 owners — and the estimates below combine those readings, weighted by how much each source can be trusted to speak for the whole game. Read the range as the answer and the headline as its middle.

Only the games with a PC port appear here, but where Steam does report it is a real concurrent-player count rather than a proxy for one.

Not tracked for VVVVVV: Discord, Reddit, YouTube. A platform appears here once the game has a link to it — most mobile games have no Steam port or subreddit, so a gap is normal rather than a sign the game is small.

Storyline

A spaceship with six crew members - Viridian, Victoria, Vitellary, Vermillion, Verdigris, and Violet - suddenly encountered mysterious trouble while underway. The group escapes by means of a teleportation device, but for some reason all the crew members are sent to different places. Viridian, the protagonist, must find the other crew members and escape from this mysterious labyrinth...

Frequently asked questions

How many people play VVVVVV?

We estimate that about 36,000 people have played VVVVVV — plausibly between 11K and 370K. Around 250 of them play on a given day, in a range of 130 and 520. Both figures are modelled from public counts on Google Play, App Store, Steam and Twitch rather than published by the developer, so read them as a scale rather than as a headcount.

Is VVVVVV still active?

Yes. VVVVVV is holding steady — it measured within a percent of where it was a week ago. We recheck every source daily, and the charts on this page show each platform's readings over time.

How are the VVVVVV player estimates worked out?

Nobody publishes player counts for mobile games, so we infer them. Each public count we can read is converted into a population using a documented ratio — roughly one Google Play rating per 45 people who played, one Steam review per 35 owners, one Discord member per 40 players — and the live counts (Steam concurrents, members online, Twitch viewers) are converted the same way into a daily figure. Those separate estimates are then averaged in proportion to how much each source can be trusted, which is why sources that disagree widen the published range instead of cancelling out. This page is built on 2 readings taken since August 8, 2026.

When was VVVVVV released?

VVVVVV was released on June 11, 2014 for Android and iOS.

What platforms is VVVVVV available on?

VVVVVV is available on Android and iOS. You can get it from Google Play, App Store (iPhone) and App Store (iPad).
