In VVVVVV, the player controls Captain Viridian, who is lost in an alternate dimension, in search of the missing members of the spaceship's crew. Instead of jumping, the player is able to control the direction of gravity, allowing Captain Viridian to flip between the floors and ceilings of the environment. The graphical style of the game is heavily influenced by the Commodore 64.

McBobX improves the previous run by 21 seconds, thanks to a newer route in the first half of the run which involves triggering the teleports in a different order. Please read the author's comments for more details.
