i think pico8 bindings for controller aren't optimal for this (1 finger for grapple and jump, imprecise stick), so people with controller muscle memory may or may not suffer more
pro tip: this game is much easier to play if you use a controller and rebind the grapple button to one (or both) of the shoulder buttons. pico-8 standalone doesn't support rebinds, so I had to use antimicro - other keybinding programs should also work fine.
well i was stuck in the first underground chamber and found my way using the osu alternate tap technique but now that there are spikes it’s way harder to get around this way XD
great game. only criticism is that the level design does not teach you that you can pick objects up very well and can leave a lot of people stuck in the first screens of glacial caves. if there was a snowball blocking your path that you had to move i think it would be more intuitive. (also really proud of my 3:40!)
What IDK how but i was able to enter the middle tunnel to do grapple skip in the new version i wasn't maintening right i just tap it at the good time and i was in so because the jump is still possible i think grapple skip is probably still possible if second screen give still give you the grapple anyway i wasn't expeting it so i fall but ...
EDIT: Yeah it's still possible it's just that accelerating from complete stop seem to take longer so just enter the tunnel at the right time xD personally im not consistent enough at it and at the game so i will not use it for now but ...
If you fast fall (holding down and right) you should get into the tunnel every time ^^ (there is a lot of talk on the Celeste Classic discord server btw)
Incredible! Game was a ton of fun. I found myself missing the grappling hook just by a tad on a couple of the shots, I feel like it'd be pretty cool if there was some visual indicator on where your hook would land when you shoot it. Either a line showing it or just an indicator of the surface it'll hit. Really hoping this becomes a full game though 👀 Good job as always!
Ok, something happened. The game changed. Been speedrunning it for a little while now, but about an hour or so ago it got an update of some kind. The grapple skip is now impossible. The 3rd level is also very different, with a new ending and a different start. Some basic mechanics are a bit weirder. its harder to consistently fall off a platform and grapple for speed. Other than that I can't see differences, but all times on speedrun.com are invalid now. Rip my 2:03

To all people who are strugglling. I advice you to play with a Controller. At least it helped a lot for me.

this game is buggy and has crashed
every time I've tried to play it without fail
how do people even get past level 3.
with pain
So much pain
A lot of pain
and even more pain
not to mention the pain
Practice makes perfect my friend
Try, Try again! You can do it!
Gg
sub 4:30
STOP FLEXING YOUR NONEXISTENT VIRTUAL DICK IN THE COMMENTS SHUT THE FUCK UP HOW DO I BEAT THE 2ND ROOM IN THE 2ND LEVEL
edit: i figured it out that was complete bullshit
(games great though)
"sub 5 sub 582310 sub susfasfiu2" more like sub in bed stfu bottom
ayo dont dis
git gud
Got sub 4 minutes lets gooooooo
The final strawberry ^^
I was going to try to finish the game but after seeing this I think not
me too
This took me 40 minutes my first run.
This one part used up about 8 minutes of my 36 minute run.
oh wow, I didn't think to do it that way, I've always been slipping from above
pain
All of these guys doing sub-4 minutes and I can't even do a sub-30 minutes.

Wow , I've to say I played the first celeste classic and finished it 5 times now , nice to see more of this great game , I am a fan of Celeste <3
Sub 5
What I discovered (hope it helps someone)
wall-kicking gives you a speed boost, probably most useful in tutorial stage (although its too precise for me)
you can YEET snowball by grappling them and then jumping out of the way (makes that one part of glacial caverns like 0.2 seconds faster)
Goodluck speedrunners best I could do is 2:35
I did my best! Like the game before it's amazing, keep on going

Haha tanks it's way easier like this ^^
Wait what, is this the sign of celeste 2!
first time playing:
10 strawberry, 34min16, 280 death :)
how the flip do you get past glacial caves
Argh. So close to sub 6.00
Damn, this update though. Changed a little mechanic I used before.
Is there a page for update logs and what not?
Hours of grinding finally paid off. I doubt I can get another deathless run any time soon, let alone a time like this.
New, interesting gameplay mechanic. Wish I could rebind keys, but I probably couldn't beat this anyways. Still working on Farewell.
It's incredibly beautiful, we need more of this please <3
Absolutely lovely. Thank you. :)
