If you’re itching for more ways to play the excellent jump-n-dasher, you’re in luck! The developers released a sequel to Celeste Classic a few years ago called Celeste 2: Lani’s Trek - it was made in three days and swaps your fast dashes with a grappling hook. My strawberry-chasing skills were decent in 2018’s Celeste (I proudly beat a few B-sides), but I’d probably need to lift miniature weights before I’m equipped for Celeste Classic on the Playdate.

Very important for me to share that the PICO-8 version of Celeste Classic has been ported to Playdate. Head to that same link for more instructions. If you don't have the little yellow handheld, and you’d like to play the port regardless, you can download a Playdate simulator on PC. Playdate owners can head here for download instructions.

An Assist Mode menu allows you to lower the game’s speed, enable invincibility, unlock infinite dashes, or simply skip a tricky level. 2018’s Celeste included some incredible accessibility and difficulty options with Assist Mode, and a few handy options have been carried onto the Playdate release. The new style suits Madeline’s trek, and it’s still readable thanks to bold outlines. For one, Celeste now has a black-and-white colour palette to match the Playdate’s 1-bit screen. The Playdate port is more or less the same as the original PICO-8 version, but there are a few changes included.
