Just bought this.

Having the Steam app on my phone is dangerous.

Just got this last night. The characters feel a little more sluggish than I expected, though that could just be something to get used to. Th fact that the up key needs to be used for wall climbing means a pad is going to be needed, which I don't love.

The game's off to a great start otherwise though; it's very charming as originally thought.

I've spent hundreds of hours working on experimental maneuvers, shaving 1/10 of seconds off times in Super Meat Boy, and Dustforce. Welcome to the club.

It's so good. Much better than the SMB editor.

This game is all about dashing. The characters seem much more agile when you start figuring it out.

is it bad of me to hope for this to go on a bundle sale? :/

scorpscarx · (05-02-2012, 04:57 PM)

I bought it, I like basically everything about this game.

game looks awesome but I don't want to blind buy it without a demo. Shame.

Yah I'm getting there, but it'll take some used to, not to mention practice.

For $5 it's kind of a no-brainer if you're even remotely interested in platformers.

Having some problem with the replay system. Often I'll click on a replay to watch, but it will play a different replay entirely. For example, I can't watch the #1 replay on the stage "core temple," as when I click it, it plays the replay for the #7 run (even though it displays the correct screenname). I THINK the problem is caused by the fact that the two runs use the same character, and the screennames begin with the same 3 letters. Hope this gets fixed.

TheMissingLink · (05-03-2012, 01:32 AM)

Jumped on it, been interested in it since release.

If you haven't bought it yet, now's the time.

This game is awesome. It feels so good the way you just glide through the levels when you nail every jump/slide/wall run. I was a bit thrown that the hub world is completely different to how it was when I first loaded the game up yesterday, but in my brief experience with the old one I did feel a bit overwhelmed, whereas the new layout is very easy to navigate. That said, the original seemed like it might be interesting to explore so I was happy to find out it's still available by running the other .exe in the game's folder.

...and look at that, I stayed up past 2am.

Just bought it with the soundtrack. I'm a Steam n00b. How do I get the soundtrack?

Kinky John · (05-03-2012, 02:58 AM)

On Windows: Steam\steamapps\common\dustforce\soundtrack
On Mac: No\idea

OnPoint · (05-03-2012, 03:24 AM)

Thanks, found it.

jkoch · (05-03-2012, 03:46 AM)

Are the levels in any kind of order?

Thoughts on which are easiest to SS? I'm having trouble getting good rankings.

If anyone out there wants to add me, feel free. I've been using a controller so far in the short time I've spent with the game, so my times are probably mince.

You should buy Dustforce anyway, it's on sale, 50% off ($5!), but only for 6 more hours
$5!!!!! You've probably spent $5 on 10 things worse than Dustforce this week
Friend 12:18 pm

Friend 12:19 pm

I did this! And he bought it. And that song is actually pretty fun to sing, not gonna lie.

Anyway, game is great =D

OK what the hell is going on, this game is erasing my progress in really weird ways. All my best runs are still on the leaderboards, but when I go up to doors, it says I have, for example, as "D, A," when I've got "S, S" on the leaderboard. Really annoying.

Kinky John · (05-03-2012, 10:42 PM)

I haven't been paying attention, but someone on the Steam forums has noticed something similar.

storafötter · 12:00 AM

Just caved in and bought it with the soundtrack. I am guessing its not a game that requires high tech so look forward to compete for time like with super meat boy.

That is something to worry about. I was furious at the glitches with SMB not registering my times so I had to redo them.

Winnie the Pimp · (05-04-2012, 12:08 AM)

not gonna buy it despite liking the concept, the art and the music...

I didn't even finish SMB yet... i always get stuck at some point in these games, then i get sidetracked by other games and never get the drive to go back afterwards :(

linko9 · 09:53 AM

I think the problem might have something to do with cloud saves? Now the game is consistently overwriting my SS scores with lower scores when I do a run. Then if I exit the game and boot it back up again, it will sometimes have my SS scores, and sometimes the lower more recent ones. It's like it's got two cloud saves, and it randomly picks one to load each time I start up the game.

EDIT: OK, what the hell is going on with this game. I just had -1 key. That was not the case when I ended my last play session. Then I got a key, and I now have 0 of that type of key. Is such a thing even possible? At least the math checks out... I really like this game, but all the weird glitches are really getting on my nerves. It's like the game was never bug tested. And if this key shenannigans makes it impossible for me to unlock all the levels, I'm out.

Edit 2: And now, despite being perfectly well connected to the internet, the game will not display any leaderboards. If this weren't bad enough, when I finish a level, the game will sometimes stop recognizing my input at all, forcing me to watch the leaderboard fry to load until I Alt+f4 out. This is whack.
