I had no idea the original Celeste was first started as a Pico-8 game- it reminds me of Meat Boy being started as a flash game and eventually got promoted to a full PC game.
...I still have to give a shot at Celeste even after I had got it from an itch.io bundle, but its probably going to hook me strong after so much good stuff I've heard of it.
Thanks for sharing this! Might actually try this sooner than the full game only because its on the browser and probably a small but tight cut of levels.
It is quite a small game, jt has to be due to Pico-8 limitations and it doesn't have save states like many other consoles. But it is still quite fun and challenging at the same time.
I recorded a video of the entire run and will share a post about it for sure. (Had so much fun, completed it twice...lol)
Now, I am really thinking about buying Celeste.
So many games to play!
