Dustforce is what happens when you mash the parkour fun of Super Meat Boy with the sheer thrill of cleaning. Sold yet? Eh, ehhh? Watch the video above -- it's how potentially graceful this game can be, if the person assuming command of the keyboard is competent at the controls. I am so not that person.
Even in a lesser, frustratingly slow state, Dustforce is still enjoyable, and definitely gorgeous to look at. You can try it out for yourself with this two-level demo, which also includes a level editor.
Since the game is very much a work in progress, be sure to give Hitbox some feedback, if you have the time. I'm sure they'd appreciate it. And yeah, I'm totally one of those people when it comes to having a clean house, as the not-so-subtle hints suggest. Haters gonna hate.

When Samit inquired about his curious bio photo Jordan simply replied: "bitches love sandcastles" ... yet, there is no sandcastle in that photo. We may never truly understand his ways.

...i'm ... just ... speechless... how the fuck could someone turn sweeping into something so cool/fun/hard looking? This is Awesome! Those dudes are genius ... yes they are. YES THEY ARE!
How about, don't bring this to any console download service and keep it PC only like the good ol' days? OR at least bring it to all three consoles so there's no silly "bring to MY console waaaah"

Thanks for tipping me off about this game, I will now follow it as closely as I possibly can. :)
This is a rare occasion when the first post is the complete opposite of shit.
And I agree.
