I have a few theories of the BIT.TRIP series. All of the series have to do with stages in life and beyond. SPOILERS
In BEAT, CV starts his trip away from his home planet. After the few trials upon getting to his destination, it then goes on to CORE where he gets frightened by other forms (which represent kids afraid of going out on themselves).
In CORE, he gains assistance by other forms to bring him from Point A to Point B. Later on, he doesn't need assistance anymore so he goes on by himself, which definitely fits me right now (few years ago I started going places by my own)
In VOID, he is happy with his freedom in the world, but overuses his power that is interfering with other forms in annoyance. He then gets a taste from some angry form of what it's like to get knocked away by power. He noticed his humiliation and understands how bad he made others feel. Others feeling better, and made connections. His void of connections helps him proceed through life in a great way.
In RUNNER, his void crashes on a surface and he goes on a running trip and meets new friends who accompany him in his life, including his biggest admirer Commandgirl Video. However, he is threatened by a figure named Timbletot who repetitively threatens him with negative words.
In FATE, CV enters a very dark state where Timbletot keeps annoying him. CV is drawn to a line (in-game) which follows to Timbletot. CV's rage to Timbletot starts to build up as he proceeds along the line. The powerups in-game represent the assistance of his friends to make him feel a bit better, but after a while he continues to rage (that's why the powerup depletes after a while). At the end of a lava cave, CV gains total anger, beats up Timbletot, and ends in a deathly fall. Commandgirl Video ran to the scene after the deaths and felt really, really sad about CV's true fate.
Finally in FLUX, CV is not finished with yet. His bright white soul rises and he enters a white, clean realm (it's likely Heaven) and he is thinking his loved ones have fled off (based on the first cutscene) and he has to move on to his departure from the world to here in this white space. CV later on sees the arrival of five instances, each representing the five stages in his life (Beat, Core, Void, Runner, Fate) He gets a closer look at each instance and realizes how he has became a form who understands life. After a few minutes if thinking (the Perception background probably represents his mind trying to gather information with those white squares through a network of roads) he now confirms he has discovered the true meaning of life which makes him a one of the forms with the greatest knowledge; knowing what life is all about. His soul then gets transferred softly back to his home planet and vanishes from space to show that his bit.trip is complete. The end.
If you liked RUNNER, then go get this one, NOW.
I usually do "_ _ _" for every scoreboard name but I typed "WIN" for this special moment.
