This looks like another another indie platformer with retro-like music, focus on acrobatics and a huge difficulty range.
This is a game where the character has to remove as much dust as possible in the level. The dusty parts are where your character is going to walk or what he is going to beat with his broom. So, it is like Super Meat Boy, a game which focuses on core gameplay mechanics.
The graphics looks very nice, too. But look for yourself :

Well, talking of smoothness, the game isn't technically very smooth unfortunately, running at 24fps. But this is just the prototype version (which is downloadable here, I forgot to mention), the devs say the final game won't use Game Maker, as they have rewritten the game engine.

As far as I know you can play it using whatever you want. And I recommend using pad, because playing at the keyboard feels a bit ackward. Challenge for me - just 100% the game, I'm not into speedrunning that much, but I imagine how much fun speedrunners will have :P The game is awesome, period

EDIT: oh, btw, there were 2 patches already, cause game was unplayable for many people. Now it seems like it works fine for most players

Apparently the level editor is out or will be releasing shortly.  If it's a lot better than the SMB editor I'll probably give it a shot.  Just a FYI if anybody here was waiting on the editor.

I've been playing this for a while now, and I must say I'm impressed. It's a very smooth and somehow relaxing experience, considering the often ballz-to-the-walls difficulty it presents in the later levels.

There's been a patch recently, I think it had the level editor in it, as well as changing the layout of the hubs to a slightly more compact style. It also made it so that you don't need to get all SS ranks to get keys. You will still need to get all SS ranks to unlock the final level, I'm pretty sure. And I'm just a few levels away...

Well, I installed this game again and tried to play for some time, but I just can't get over clunky controls. Which is unfortunate, because I thought that this game would actually be decent :/

EDIT: well, maybe not clunky, but definetely not as responsive as controls in Super Meat Boy, which for me is perfect platformer
