Surprised to see V6 here. What's next, Super Hexagon?

That would be neat, imo! ...but then I think I like arcade-style games way more than I'm guessing you do.

Also going to call back to what I wrote here:

but it seems to me veridically very difficult to play this game and not like it at least a little bit.

I ran a Best Indie Game Ever contest here some years back (which felt successful and well-received, and I'd still quite like to stage a sequel someday). In the course of that contest, VVVVVV was the only game to receive 20+ votes on its own - doing so twice, no less, peaking at 27 votes. Its second match (against La-Mulana) tied for the highest votal of the contest to that point, alongside the other match of that day's topic, Undertale v Journey. That record held until VVVVVV's next match, against Undertale, where both games received 18 votes a piece - VVVVVV fell off a bit in the subsequent tiebreaker, but it stayed 4-for-4 at turning out voters at an elevated rate. My guess is that its polished, execution-heavy gameplay at a brisk, easily accessible length gives it a disproportionately high playrate (or, uhh, beatrate?) and hence really broad appeal here.

...would be neat to find out how Slay the Spire would fare in that sort of setting, come to think of it. I'm sure I'm not the only one who found and sparked to it years after its release.
