What Is vvrr?
vvrr is a 2D platformer by KingMidis, released on September 16, 2026 and tagged Metroidvania. Its whole identity sits in the author's one-line pitch: a metroidvania about frogs and parries. Exploration is built around an interconnected map in the metroidvania tradition, while parry timing is the signature idea at the center of its combat.
It is a small, focused game rather than a sprawling one: an average session lasts about a half-hour, and the game carries tags like Short and Speedrun. Visually it is a two-color pixel-art game — black-and-white scenes with pink accents — drawn in Aseprite, with a deliberately retro look.
Gameplay
vvrr Gameplay
What the game's own description and public footage establish about how it plays.
Frogs and Parries
The author's description puts two ideas side by side: frogs and parries. Parry timing — countering enemy attacks at the right moment — is the mechanic the whole game is built to showcase.
Metroidvania Structure
vvrr is tagged Metroidvania and classified as a Platformer: expect an interconnected map you gradually open up rather than separate linear levels.
Short, Speedrun-Friendly
An average session runs about a half-hour, and the game carries the Short and Speedrun tags — a compact experience aimed at quick, repeatable runs.
Two-Color Pixel Art
Tagged Pixel Art, Retro, and Two colors, and drawn in Aseprite. The public footage shows black-and-white environments with pink highlights and hit sparks.

Context
About Metroidvania Month 33
vvrr was made for Metroidvania Month #33, a game jam in its 33rd edition. KingMidis built the entire game — art, levels, and systems — in 20 days for the jam, which is why the scope stays tight and the half-hour session length fits the format so well.
You can see the game's jam submission page for the entry itself and other games from the same event.
