The acclaimed title Celeste originated as a project developed in four days at a game jam for the PICO-8 platform. This version, which came to be known as Celeste Classic, was smaller in scope and aesthetically different given that PICO-8 accommodates a 128 x 128 resolution and a16-color palette. To celebrate the 3rd anniversary of Celeste, the game's original developers made a sequel to Celeste Classic for PICO-8 which was developed in only 3 days.

On that note, if you bought the Humble Voxatron Bundle back when it was available a few years ago, you have a license for PICO-8 along with Voxatron in your Humble Store account. It should be valid, even up to the current update of the application. Keep that in mind.

Well... You can download the source code from the Pico-8 website.

But I think to play it, you need to buy Pico-8, not sure tho.

Or just get the GBA port and a GBA emulator like I just did.

Someone should port it to Game Boy Color. That would be awesome.

I agree with the sentiment that I'd love some form of console port. I'm not good at this playing on my dang keyboard. Would appreciate an official update for Celeste 1, but hey, I'd take some form of homebrew port too.

(Doesn't the 3DS have a PICO-8 player?)

Doesn’t pico 8 have controller support?

Yeah but I'm too lazy to hook up a controller to my computer

Yes, if you want a local (offline) copy, you have to buy it. It's $15.

Nah, the $15 is to buy PICO-8, where you can make games (or edit existing games I think). Celeste Classic 2 can be downloaded as a precompiled executable.

let's gooo

Interesting, a shame Celeste Classic 1 can't be downloaded too.

google it, you can find it rather easily

Seems like Celeste but with different mid-air mobility. Seeing as mid-air mobility is an important part of the game, it changes the gameplay a lot.

Well, that's not rare for videogame sequels.

Heck it was awful common during the 8 bit era.

I mean, if it's effective at making the gameplay new and interesting for those who played the first entry... why not do it?
The grapple feels like it has some interesting speedrun tech built into it. Maybe I'll give it a go after I finally beat Farewell.

 

[PatrickD85]

Neat but this should be pushed to the main Celeste game on consoles / steam.

After playing through it 10 or so times, I can easily see this expanding into a full celeste sequel
