Actually pretty tired and about to go to bed but managed to get a new personal best on Night Temple :3
All right. Four more personal bests done in Dustforce DX. Time for bed
Anyway, 6hrs later and I managed to break 12 other personal bests in Dustforce DX :3
For reference, I was good enough to have beaten the hardest level in the game at one point back in the day. I remember that successful run taking closer to 2hrs, which the game didn't record on the world leaderboard I believe because it took too long or something. One day I hope to have a recorded placement on the board but no promises lol
Playing some more Dustforce DX and grinding on some old personal bests. Pushed Alleyway down about 8 seconds :3
Haven't been playing games much lately but had the urge to play a bit of my favorite game ever again. I haven't touched it in 2 years but it all came back so naturally in just 30 minutes. Maybe I'll go about streaming it again soon :3

It's not often a game pisses me off, but Dustforce DX managed it. It is, of course, a platformer.
The music isn't bad. The semi-transparent spiky vector graphics fit the Indie feel of the game.
As there's no obvious way to to use a controller with the game, I played it with the default keyboard setup.
This was the part where I got cranky. I managed to complete the first two tutorial levels with an increasing amount of frustration, which peaked when trying to wall-jump up to the final tutorial.
Trying to press three keys at a time, at exactly the right time, almost completely eluded me.
Again, it's the fine motor control thing, and this is a game designed for practicing moves repeatedly to tune that fine motor control to a fine art.
This made the game an exercise in frustration.
As it turns out, there is a non-obvious way to set up a controller... you just assign the keys. I've never seen that done before, and it literally took me Googling it to find that out.
It didn't help.
If you enjoy that "needs perfect timing" kind of platformer, this might be right up your alley. Not mine, though.
Dustforce DX is a big:
