''VVVVVV'' is an indie game created by Creator/TerryCavanagh for [[UsefulNotes/IBMPersonalComputer PC]] in 2010, before porting it to many other platforms in the following years. It stars the crew of a little space ship: player character Captain Viridian, Doctor Violet, Officer Vermilion, Professor Vitellary, Doctor Victoria, and Chief Verdigris. Their ship crashes and is sent into a strange, unfamiliar dimension, and scatters Viridian's crew across the land. The Captain needs to find them and make sure that they're safe! And that's where you come in.

** The room "The Tomb of Mad Carew" is a shout out to the first Dizzy game, which featured an area with the same name (which itself comes from the poem 'The Green Eye of the Yellow God' by J. Milton Hayes). The monster here looks like a ghostly version of the Dizzy character himself.
