It’s been over a year since we last heard anything about the fabulous broom-toting, wall-hugging platformer – Dustforce – but the developer, Hitbox team, have just put out a pair of screenshots, and the game’s intro video, to remind us that they still exist. And what a pair of screenshots and intro video they are…
Here’s the video. After they are finished making Dustforce: The Game, perhaps they could get started on Dustforce: The Saturday Morning cartoon.
And here’s the two screenshots. Click on them to make them get bigger, you won’t want to miss out on any of these beautiful pixels.
You can still grab the prototype version here, if you fancy giving it a try yourself, but since they’ve totally rebuilt the game from scratch since releasing the prototype, don’t expect it to be indicative of final quality.
They’re planning to get the final game out before the end of the year, so there’s not too long left to wait now.

It does look awesome.

I played the prototype months ago and it was cool, but I’m glad they are going to improve it.

The prototype was already pretty damn good if you ask me. First time I felt compelled to go OCD on a platformer.

Yea it was pretty good, but I found the controls way too finicky. I think I ended up falling off walls far too often.

Wow. The prototype is really fun and is already quite beautiful. I’m rubbish at stuff like N, but the way the checkpoints work it does a pretty good job of teaching you how to move until you start to feel awesome.
I’m pretty excited about this.

This game seems to play out like my Sunday afternoons.

Always thought this looked incredible. Now I think it looks.. hold up. This one’s going to need a trip to thesaurus.com.

OK, going to go out on a limb and say that whoever animated the intro vid, good as it is, attended the Gobelins animation school in France… if you’ve watched their showreel/Annecy animation festival shorts, you’ll know what I’m talking about…
RUN RUN RUN!!!!

That’s gorgeous.

Is there a gameplay video?
If the alpha isn’t representative I’d still love to see what exactly I have to do in the game.

Wow… color me interested

You sick individual.

On the strength of two screenshots and a non-gameplay trailer, this might well be the prettiest game I’ve seen in the past year. Although to be fair, I am a sucker for the aesthetic they’re pushing.

Up with this sort of thing.
