Celeste |OT| Farewell
- Thread starter sebco
- Start date
The main game is less hard than SMB, more so if you use Assist mode. The unlockable challenge rooms are as hard or harder, but IMO just better designed in general
Ignoring all the extra stuff, Super Meat Boy isn't that hard imo. So Celeste is easier than SMB, but much more challenging than Ori.
Thems fighting words. I understand they are both different art styles, but Super Meat Boy is full of charm.
Golden God in Super Meat Boy on 360 controller that would disconnect if you squeezed too hard reporting.
Game is harder imo, and it's a different kind of hard. Requires quite a bit more brain activity than its twitchier Meat Boy counterparts, but there are unlockable level remixes that can get pretty devious in terms of execution. I'm just past the halfway point and I've already seen things on par with at least The End, at least in the unlockable levels.
Its a much more manageable sort of difficult compared to Super Meat Boy as well, if that's what you're worried about.
Any advice on how to bounce off the clouds consistently? So far that's the only part of the game where I don't feel I have adequate control.
I've only seen the comparison in terms of gameplay, which is apt as they are clearly similar (not the same, just similar) when it comes to movement, difficulty and just overall moment-to-moment gameplay of having many small challenges where you will die often, but where you spawn right back in and never lose more than a few seconds of progress.
Visually, musically and story-wise they are of course very different.
There isn't a specific trick to it, but try to jump late. You have more room to get the boost than it looks like
What are you supposed to do here?

The wind blows to the right periodically, but it doesn't seem to give me enough momentum to reach the right wall in one jump. Then when I'm hanging there after using both jumps, it seems impossible to get upwards because the jump height is too short.
edit: Figured it out. You don't actually get hurt by the spikes no matter how far you climb up, which gave enough height to jump further.

(first post? woohoo...let me know if I'm doing anything wrong)
I scrolled through 36 pages of this to see if anyone was talking about this, but I haven't seen anyone (on other sites either)...
Any idea what this room is for?
(Sorry for the non-screenshot...I don't have my switch with me right now).
It was hidden in Chapter 6.
I took a video too (@-ing my friend so I didn't spoil any of my followers):
Is this just related to a crystal heart or some other secret?

There was different music for this room, and each direction you dashed in (including diagonals) played a different tone.

Holy shit, 532 deaths for the chapter 6 B-Side. That's a lot more than for any other levels haha
Just did the lovely chapter 5 B-Side and I'm hoping there are going to be more moments where you think you can't proceed and then the realization of what they are asking to do hits you, like "yeah, I'm not sure how they expect me...oh. OH no no no nooo. Really?"
Moments like those separate the good games from the truly great.

Edit : nevermind, got it

Hint:
It's heavily related to the crystal heart from chapter 1.
So was this whole room just a hint for the radio dish? A bit annoying if so as I spent some time trying to do something in that room.
Thank you! I didn't go back to earlier chapters yet so it's good I didn't waste any more time running around the Ch 6 room :P
Also, before I leave this B side I'm working on, am I correct in my interpretation of a post here saying you can leave a level in the middle (exit to map) and return to a checkpoint? (which I assume is the mountain icon you pass?) Don't want to lose all my progress in this chapter but I'd also like to explore some other levels.
Reached the summit last night with 128 strawberries and 857 deaths. I racked up 300+ of those on the last chapter getting a few really devious strawberries. I'm sure the counter is going to explode now that I'm going back to take on B-sides and get more berries and hearts.
Celeste is really something special. I know super hard indie platformers aren't exactly a dying genre, but I don't think I've liked one this much since Super Meat Boy. Celeste has an interesting mix of super tight platforming challenges, sprawling stages with tons of secrets, and endearing characters and story that makes it stand out. And that's not even getting in to the stellar look and sound of the game.
2018 is off to a great start.

No, the solution for the radio dish is a hint for this room. It's a puzzle that references the earlier puzzle
How do you get golden strawberries? I thought you were supposed to beat a level without dying. I beat level 2 with no deaths and nothing happened. Do i have to unlock something first?
You have to
beat all the b-sides to unlock them, and then grab the golden strawberry at the start of the level
There's a golden strawberry for each side so
8 for A-sides, 8 for B-sides, 8 for C-sides
Is there a guide for the blue hearts?
Sucks that I can't play the last b-side without them.
I already have the one that had the Super Mario 3 trick. Just need 6 more.

I followed a video on youtube that shows all the hearts in 1 video. Some of them I never would have found so for the ones I was missing it was super useful :P
I really loved The End is Nigh. Check it out if you haven't yet.
Wait.. I have to beat 7B without dying to get all golden strawberries?!
There goes my dream of 100% completing this game..
Yeah. Just be a sane person and consider it 100% after beating all the sides lol.
All getting the goldens do is add a +1 to your cherry count per level anyways, it's mainly just extra challenge if you really want it. You get the achievement for all cherries without them.

I think this might be one of my favourite games. I also urge anyone who's suffered from depression to give it a go, the narrative and visual metaphors will do you a ton of good. Chapter 6 was a breath taking experience, one of the most beautiful experiences gaming can offer.
Wait a sec theres even C sides o.O
Damn this game!
Edit: ^ @ above post, yup so true! That part was sooo good i could relate to that stuff and it was done very well for a game, never expected it to go that way, good that it did.

So I heard that you have to have a certain number of strawberries to access the last bit of story in this game. How many of the things do I need? I love the game, but hate having that fear constantly in the back of my head
Only thing it affects is a Metroid style static image at the end, and even then it's a very minor change depending on your count.
The strawberries unlock nothing, it's only hearts which are hidden in the chapters and acquired from beating b-sides.
Ahhh okay, awesome, thanks! The game was telling me one thing, and my friends were telling me something different. Thanks for clearing that up for me
So what new move/technique is the bird in B-side Summit (?) trying to tell me with "Dash + jump (up arrow)"? I can dash jump like megaman for a bit of different momentum which I get but, that can't be it. These tutorials are ass.
EDIT: Got it. Man, some Super Metroid esque animals actually showing you this shit would be a long way beyond "lol push the only two action buttons in the game bye"

Just like the regular chapters, there are checkpoints. You'll know you've hit a checkpoint when you see a picture of a mountain engraved on a wall or portion of the level.
Could've used some more blatant explaining imo I didn't realize until I beat the game!
That Super Mario 3 Easter egg!!!!
Greatest Easter Egg in the history of gaming.
