That looks like crap.
Ultra-hard retro platformers are all the rage these days but some of them are just loving lazy. VVVVVV, super meat boy, IWTBTG, just don't seem interesting. Woo, die a hundred times until you can play a level from muscle memory and get to the next... identical level that also looks as interesting as a lazy newgrounds flash from 2005.
The retro throwback games that actually build on the best aspects of old games they draw inspiration from and add clever things to the formula are the ones worth playing. Freedom Planet, MURI, Shovel Knight, MegaMan Unlimited, etc.
VVVVVV is cool and good and is inspired by a specific old game from the creator's childhood.
Just cause a game has dying a lot built in doesn't mean it's Shobon Action

Revengeance was also cool and reminded me that action games are fun after playing a lot of tedious poo poo like Heavenly Sword
