A Dustforce Level Editor is yours for free on May 1st
In case you couldn't tell, a lot of us here at Destructoid like Dustforce. Like Super Meat Boy, the game marries old school conventions with new school style, and comes out on top. Well, thanks to developer Hitbox, you're going to get a free update set to drop May 1st in the form of a level editor. The level designer itself looks pretty incredible, as it basically allows just about anyone to MSPaint their way to an awesome stage. While the inclusion of a level editor in general can be an awesome addition, it happens far too often where the editor is too complicated for the average user. Thankfully, that doesn't seem to be the case here. As for the game itself, I can't say enough good things about Dustforce, and this free update only augments that passion. If you're a fan of puzzle platformers, check out Dustforce on Steam -- it's $10. Did you know? You can now get daily or weekly email notifications when humans reply to your comments.
