Answer 1

Backward swipe? Hnnngg D:

Answer 2

It can be bypassed XD

Answer 3

If you want, you can farm an area attack :D
You don't actually need the backwards swipe, although you do need it for fastest time.

Dustkid / Dustworth can cheese it, but as Kuro said, nobody wants to be a poopyfart~

Answer 4

they're actually not that hard! here's my best effort at explaining how to do them.

first, dash while holding forward. press backward to heavy but immediately after heavying switch back to forward to keep your momentum. that's all there is to it. the less time you hold back, the more of your momentum you will keep.

Answer 5

I just dash jumped. That's easier for me. xD

Answer 6

If you want, you can practice them using Kuro's map here:

Answer 7

There's also Towelie's Skills map.
I also forgot to mention that I really like this map. It reminds me of the ground in Sonic. xD

Answer 8

Yeah, Skills is a really good map! Big props to Towelie, he did an amazing job with making it

Answer 9

wau is prettty~

seriously tho; the palette is awesome. i love it when maps have just the right partial blend on a layer to allow different color tiles.

Answer 10

I had a hard time telling what was a dustblock and where the dust was.

Answer 11

truth be told i did too, but that was only the first time through.

Answer 12

I'm glad you liked it, Vox~

Shury, I'm sowwy :( Making the dust visible with the palette was really tough, I did as good of a job as I could...

It shouldn't be too hard to get a full SS though, I made it so that all the dust is in reasonably obvious positions.

Answer 13

your eyes adjust to it after the first run or two

Answer 14

They do!

Answer 15

Blam! Haha now is the waiting game for Seight to destroy my time. I really like this level for two reasons, the background looks really intricate (the more complicated the better) and the level focuses on boosting my favorite part about Dustforce :D Nice!

Answer 16

I'm glad you like it!
The background was a real pain to make, because there was such a large area to cover. Good fun though! Did you find the easter egg? :P

And it's great that you enjoyed playing the level too! I'm glad people are enjoying my level :D

Answer 17

Jesus Christ Towelie how long did it take you to get that run? That was ridiculous.

Are you kidding me, its faster just to super at the end? Hahaha fml.

Answer 18

Great aesthetic especially compared to magnets last attempts, it's great to see people trying out new skill sets !!!!

Answer 19

Cheers!
I'm glad you liked the aestheticity of the level~

Answer 20

OK I love your maps. My only criticism on this one is that you can't do any% because of the small prisms outside the tunnel at the end.  I don't think they're even necessary, really. In a lot of other maps you can grab enough dust to super by the end or you don't need the super, but in this one you basically have to s-complete.

5/5 otherwise, just something to think about!

Answer 21

The any% is very possible!
For starters, at the end of the map, if you do the intended SS you'll have exactly 100 dust. Therefore, you can miss exactly 12 dust and still get an equally fast ending.
Also, there are methods you can use to gather up 20-30 dust at the very end, in an extremely short period of time. My goal was for the player to have the area attack for the SS at the end, but for you to build it up at the end of any%.

Think of Tera Difficult's ending, it sort-of has the same thing.

Answer 22

Also, good to know you love my maps <3 I do it for the fans! xD

Answer 23

Really cool map. Love the flow of it once you learn how to do the gap (though I didn't use the backwards swipe trick)

Answer 24

I'm glad you like it!
How quickly can you get through that gap? The fastest way I can pass it is through a backwards swipe, but I'm not totally sure (as you said, there are other methods)

Answer 25

Woo top Any%

Answer 26

Just wait for Seight...

Haha, that rhyme~

Answer 27

26 comments within 7 hours, easy to tell whose maps it is.

Neat level! If there's one caveat here, it's probably that backward swipe - the rest of the level is very graciously easy, and then the double big prism is a way harder jump than anything else; feels kind of out of place, particularly as you can't really see you shouldn't be hitting them both at the same time when you jump towards them. Other than that, good stuff.

Answer 28

:D

Answer 29

man this level is so addicting!
@tinker: try a quick doublejump, hit the first hexagon, dash and hit the 2nd one, you should land on the other side without any problems ;-)

Answer 30

Yes!!! More virtual levels named after food \o/
