Ticking off another game on the "quintessential games for enlightened catgirls" list, I played Celeste this month for the first time.

It was my first proper 2D platformer since... one of the older Castlevania games I think? And it was an incredible title to pick - the level design, mechanics, and soundtrack are all built with a wonderful amount of love.

I'm completely hooked, and am now going back to pick up every strawberry, and make a solid attempt at the B-sides. Chapter 8 and 9 will soon follow :3

A screenshot of Celeste after the first playthough. 94 out of 175 strawberries, 1738 deaths, and 9 hours and 54 minutes playtime.

In my defense a few hundred of these deaths were early B-side attempts lolololol
