Random This Fan-Made SNES Hack Combines Celeste With Super Mario
It's also Celeste's 4th birthday!
Remember the Super Mario Maker craze, when a bunch of masochistic platforming-obsessed players would show off their near-impossible levels?

Audio design is an underrated part of a video game's soundscape, though you almost definitely have appreciated a particularly good noise at some point in your gaming career — whether it's the creak of a Resident Evil door or the sound of Sonic collecting a ring, audio design helps create the right mood for a game.

About The Game
Celeste is a platformer about climbing a mountain, from the creators of TowerFall. Unravel the secrets of the mountain and overcome your limitations to reach the summit in over 300 levels!
If she has the stamina, Madeline can climb any surface on Celeste Mountain. There she’ll journey across many dangerous environments using her mid-air dash to explore strange places and meet peculiar characters.
Don’t get spooked – playing in Assist Mode lets you tweak the difficulty – from a slower pace to full on invincibility – whatever sounds fun! Or if you really want to white-knuckle it, take on the challenging B-Side chapters.

Great game, epic platformer. Already a GOTY 2018 contender.
This game makes me feel good and pumps me up
I really like the music in this game. When you're about 6 whole nanoseconds away from snapping your Switch over your knee for a strawberry, the serene and somber background music makes you feel like the game is trying to tell you "no need to hurry, man. You'll get there when you get there."
@SlimFreakinFast man what a way to put it, I get it entirely. Just those minutes when you're letting the stress eat at you a bit and then you step back and breathe. All of a sudden the wonder is renewed and just pure joy washes over you.
The Game Is Only Five Dollars Today! If You Want It, Get It Today!
It might be worth updating the publisher info! Theyve changed the companies name and updated it ingame, and this older name has one of the creator's deadnames
@SlimFreakinFast I don't have a Switch and play this on PC, but the description "Crack your Switch over your knee for a strawberry" is very accurate. I use a controller to play it, and I wanna break it every time. I haven't beat the game yet, but I'm so bad at collecting strawberries. I think Ima have a very dissapointing pie.
