The price of ''VVVVVV'' when it was originally released was $15. This was seen by McWhertor as being the game's "one unfortunate barrier" to entry: "While there's plenty to see and do after blazing through the game's core campaign, the steeper than expected asking price will probably turn some off."<ref name="kotaku-review" /> Likewise, Gillen wrote in his review that the cost "does strike you as a lot for an Indie lo-fi platformer", while insisting that "it is worth the money".<ref name="rps-review" /> Since its original release, the price of ''VVVVVV'' has been reduced to $5.
