Made this topic to talk about the game Celeste. Mostly just want to document stuff as I play the game.
Recently started playing the modded celeste map Strawberry Jam. I haven’t got too far into it but one thing I like is the tutorials.
I feel like regular Celeste is, for the most part, a figure out yourself kind of game (though to be fair there isn’t much to figure out). In Strawberry Jam, however, their are tutorial maps you can do with detailed explanations on game mechanics. I really like that.
I also liked being able to an easy map for the first time that I never saw before. I kinda thought when replaying some of the easier celeste chapters that I was “only” able to do them because of muscle memory or whatever. It was nice to play an easy map and more-or-less breeze through it. Gave me some confidence.

Thanks! I’ll watch those soon (I actually watched like 10 minutes of the first one and then forgot about it).
I read a comment the other day that said something like, “What makes Celeste speedruns different is that they really rely on just getting really good at the core mechanics of Celeste. There’s not too much reliance on glitches and stuff like that.” I think that’s kinda neat.
Hmm. This does make it sound as if top players in other games aren’t good at core mechanics of their games. I don’t think that would be true.
I recently installed Speedrun Tool Modding Tool for Celeste | Celeste Modding Tools . It’s been very very helpful in practicing some stuff. One of the later stages I was only really struggling with the end and just needed to practice it.
Only downside I kind of have with it is my death counter. I liked it as a kind of honest portrayal about the effort(?) I’ve put into the game, but with save states and stuff it won’t be that accurate anymore. It’s whatever. I prefer being able to practice various parts.
I’m almost close to beating the final chapter of Celeste. I’ve been using a walkthrough to guide me on some parts and I noticed that the screen(?)/section after the one I’m doing right now is the final one for the last chapter. So that’s very cool.
So far I’ve put in 72 hours into the game. I think probably around ~20 hours have probably just gone to the last chapter.
I also came across this video recently: Celeste, but it’s ALL of Hollow Knight.
It lead me to this mod: Crossover Collab Mod for Celeste | Celeste Mods .
Its a crossover mod using a bunch of games. The Hollow Knight one was a bit hard so I put that on pause for now, but I did beat the Dadish map (never played Dadish, just saw it was rated easy).
I got 15 hearts and just beat the first section of Core B. I previously beat the first 2 sections of Farewell. Avoiding hints.
