The hit indie game is now available on 3DS. Captain Viridian needs to track down the five remaining members of his ship’s crew in a strange new dimension.

The 3DS version includes plenty of new Player Levels, which are new challenges designed by famous game developers.

Carmen Sandiego is back, and has pulled off another impossibly huge heist. Travel the world solving math puzzles in order to track her down and recover the stolen goods.

If you haven’t played VVVVVV yet, this is a great time to pick it up. The game isn’t horribly long, but it’s amazingly fun. I’ve played through it several times already on PC.
