Disclaimer: I am not responsible for any dust spread shenanigans! The spike placements in this map are directly copied from VVVVVV, which can lead to some interesting dust spread possibilities.
Please use heavy attacks responsibly.

People have been awaiting a remake of this classic V6 challenge for a long time. In a fit of boredom I actually managed to copy over the entire map and not give up after that...
Anyways, I tried to make this map as hard as possible without being unfair. How well that turned out is for you to decide.

For the full on V6 experience, you can download the texture mod I made for virtual levels here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/2laedbqps40alwn/V6%20style%20tutorial.rar?dl=0
Instructions on how to install can be found here: http://www.reddit.com/r/dustforce/comments/2uk63c/various_sprite_mods_for_your_enjoyment/

Special thanks to Shin for helping me with the camera and huge props to Dough for figuring out a way to make the end trigger for this map work. (kinda)

Interesting concept, I would have enjoyed it if I didn't have to worry about spreading dust everywhere. You could have at least covered those tiny areas which don't contribute to the level other than to make it frustrating.

Edit: make no mistake, i have no idea wtf is going on in this any%

I know you just wanted to do the remake.  I just want to say what I always say: Straight remakes of other game level layouts always suck.  Modifying the level to make it fun and non-problematic in Dustforce, while keeping the aesthetic and overall route/shape of the source material the same, will yield a better map 99 times out of 100.

Good job on this map though, but it's not fun for me.

Git gud. The original version had no checkpoints either.

The original version didn't have dustforce inputs and physics. Also I'm with Shin on the straight remakes thing.

I liked the secret it is very well done, I was hoping for an elephand tho ;)

About the any%: you can spread dust when you hit the prism linked to the end flag,
if you hit it slightly above the ground.

I've never seen it before.
