This game contains some of the most fist-pumpingly energetic chip music I’ve ever heard [and that's saying something;
we just got back from Blip Festival!] ... Upbeat, exciting, and nostalgic ... and a couple of other kickass extras ... Worth every penny"
--- Nick Robinson, www.bytejacker.com (Link and Link)

"It’s hypnotic, vibrant, and it taps into the gamer in my heart."
--- Daniel Lipscombe, Electro Candy (Link)

"Oh, and the music. Oh the music. The music! This stuff is fabulous ... The chiptune soundtrack by Magnus Pålsson is simply superb.
The emotion it provokes is one that will keep you in a happy mood for the entirety of the game,
all the while tapping your feet to the beat... The soundtrack for VVVVVV rivals Mega Man in its chiptune awesomeness."
--- Keenan W., http://game-central.org (Link)

"VVVVVV's haunting audio sets the the game's tone magnificently ... The chiptune beats treads the fine line between modern and retro.
They combine the beautiful surrealness of old C64 and ZX Spectrum games with a modern techno twist.
The result is something that not only feels instantly familiar, but will also ingrain itself into your pre-frontal cortex.
It's masterful and really adds polish to the package."
-- Editorial review by 2 Bit Wasteland (Link)

"Without a doubt ... one of the best gaming soundtracks I’ve heard in a long time...
The soundtrack is brilliant. A great selection of chiptunes that will get you very nostalgic"
-- Editorial review, retrogamedepot.com (Link)

"This can’t be stressed enough: phenomenal soundtrack... Magnus Palsson's soundtrack is a f#*%(*^ revelation ...
A chip soundtrack masterpiece that rivals established series like Mega Man and Castlevania."
-- Chase C, gamerlimit.com (Link)

"I’ve been humming bits of the VVVVVV soundtrack in the shower and during car trips all week, and likely will be into the forseeable future."
-- Ricky Scibbe, scibbe.com (Link)

"The theme of past meets present is no more exuberantly expressed than in the music. Magnus Pålsson’s soundtrack is a true gem, grabbing Mega Man by his 8-bit throat and
dragging him through the last twenty years of advancement in the electronic genres,
producing sounds that are at once richly atmospheric and proud to display their legacy. It’s also video game music in the best possible sense"
-- Fraser McMillan, thunderboltgames.com (Link)
