Why have you not bought it.

Retro 2D puzzle platformer in which players, rather than jumping, invert their own gravity to cover gaps and avoid obstacles.
FUCK YEAH VVVVVV ON STEAM
" So uh, what is it? "It's an exploration based reflex heavy platformer where instead of jumping you reverse gravity.
Example: instead of jumping over a pit of spikes you walk over them on the ceiling.
Ha, the title of this thread is exactly what I thought when I opened Steam :D
I've been waiting for ages for this to make it to Steam.
It's kinda funny how they're selling it at 10% off... Which amounts to a savings of fifty cents because it's cheap! And looks awesome! I'm totally going to buy this.
" As soon as my internet stops being lame, that game is mine! "Yeah, something wrong with my connection too, half of the time I try to open a web page I get time out errors and stuff, which was rather scary when I purchased the game as I got that at first too, it seems they only charged me once though, and I did get the games (purchased it along with Chime), and got them downloaded within seconds, so I'm happy anyway.

" @pyromaster222 said:There are no actual Steam achievements. But there are 'achievements' within the game itself with various things that can be unlocked by completing them." does it have steam achievements?! "nope I don't really think achievements would fit this game ... except for "don't die" there is nothing really you can "achieve" besides making it to the end :) "
I managed to die 142 times on the first level. Isn't that achievement worthy?
I'm going to blame a bit of it on something about the game or my keyboard that makes the directional keys lock up occasionally, I think at least 30 or 40 of those death were because the guy kept walking right into spikes upon respawn because he was stuck walking in that direction for a few seconds. It was especially annoying on "Trench Warfare" where it could lock up right after a gravity shift, making the guy either walk off the moving platform right into the roof spikes, or walking right into the soldiers after landing on the ground.
That was exactly my thought train." 1. It costs too much until right now 2. It wasn't on Steam Purchased. "
It is a really well designed, difficult but fair, platformer. Also, kick-ass music and graphics, but it's probably easier to appreciate those features if you know what a C64 is. (Actually, see Game Room for reference of that era.) Some also quite funny video game-y in-jokes, as well.
