About

Rat, what's the game about? Please tell us
Duster Buster is a Pixel-art rogue-lite adventure blending horror and humor. Players take on the role as a cleaner hired to clean a big, run-down mansion filled with furniture-monsters.
The game’s quirky take on both combat, character-building, and cleaning, along with a lighthearted story, makes it approachable for casual players interested in a fun experience with a sometimes hardcore genre, while still somewhat challenging for advanced fans of the genre.
As the player unravels the secrets of the mansion, guided by their rat-merchant sidekick, they get to choose a build that works for them, adding a layer of replayability.

Hey Cleaner what can't we do?
Even though we - just like our cleaner - pride ourselves for being thorough, there might be some tricky bugs hiding. Regardless, we wanted to share this little gem as a reminder of one of our first “bigger” prototypes with you rather than hiding it away in a dusty drawer.
We hope that you enjoy this small spark of our imagination, creativity and skills, while we continue our journey as devs.

Duster Buster is a strong, solid demonstration of a great design in a game. It's not a difficult game in the least, but if you're running short on time or just need something to break the work trance, this is it for beginning gamedevs.
A quick, easy, and free rogue-lite game with three enemy types you can beat in twenty minutes.
very fun game

Super hyggelig Dungeon Crawler! Det er jo stadigt tidligt i udvikling, men mega fedt koncept! Til udviklerne: - Det ville være mega nice hvis man ikke skulle bruge mus, men i stedet kunne have light og heavy på "j" og "k" for eksempel. Musen føles ligegyldig, når man alligevel ikke kan navigerer. (Spillede med touchpad på laptop) - Det ville være rart at vide hvor meget ens damage og crit er oppe på. En eller anden indikation af dine upgrades kunne være nice.
Good lil game. Heavy attack sucks, but I am too good to need it
A fun short game with an interesting concept, definitely worth the time.
Decently fun. Simple, a 42 minute time waster. Nice!
Fun little rouge lite where you clean up a haunted mansion. 7.6/10
easy and fun to play hope to see more
It's a freaky ghost bed
