Visuals, music, and overall atmosphere are great. The dust cleaning very much reminds me of Prince of Persia 2008, where you had to collect these orb thingies, a game I really loved.
The only thing that prevents from continuing to play Dustforce are the controls. I tried playing with keyboard and with gamepad, but the character never seems to do what I want him to do. I guess the problem is that the character always ends the current movement first, before he starts the next. This means that he never seems to jump the moment I press the key/button but the moment he has finished his current running motion frame, if that makes sense; and this applies to any other movement as well. I just never had the feeling that I was controlling the character directly. I never felt the "flow" that others seem to praise about this game.
I enjoyed playing through the first levels, but once spikes and such started showing up, I had to stop playing the game.
