You have 20 layers to work with, tons of cool props, almost complete RGB color control and control over the %blend of the color PER LAYER, a ♥♥♥♥ ton of props and emitters to place, several things with transparency for awesome effects, and total control over the music and sound effects at every point.

It's safe and accessible for all ages, yet it's depth, difficulty, and mechanics make Dustforce worth buying over Super Meat Boy and other precision platforming "greats".
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
29 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The cartoonish graphics are very friendly on the eyes, and the layers and color schemes always make the level geometry crystal clear.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
9 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Dustforce is a beautiful, traversal style 2D platformer with a lot of parkour, wall running, ceiling hanging with some light combat.
