The design is really smart, because even if you're going to die a lot, again and again, over and over, it's fast and it's fair. It's not like you've died because some randomized swipe of a demon's tail takes out your last sliver of health of whatever.

i just finished my first playthrough. i didn't go out of my way to find strawberries but if i ran into one and thought i could pick it up i did so i ended up w/ 68. i also found one b-tape and one diamond. you guys that are going through all the b-sides - did you find them naturally or look them up? i'm trying to decide if it's worth it to find them myself or if i should just spoil it.

found a few naturally, had to look one up, and ran across an answer to another one on accident while watching someone's video on another topic.

The tapes I found some the first time through, the rest hunting based on the hint in the checkpoint selection when replaying the level. I needed some kind of hint for all the blue hearts I’ve gotten so far.

The tapes are easy to find compared to the blue hearts, if you start looking for out of the way strawberries you will find your way to the tapes too

i didn't realize until recently that there's more stuff AFTER the b-sides! like, a lot more. i will never 100% this game

i remember the corned beef of my childhood (Karl Malone), Friday, 23 February 2018 05:37 (six years ago) link

Just watched a youtube guy beat a level that's killed me easily a hundred times on his first try, like it was no big deal.

Dan I., Friday, 23 February 2018 06:00 (six years ago) link

Yeah, that's the worst.

Despite all my struggle I've found maybe 3 b-side cassettes so far, somehow.

Josh in Chicago, Friday, 23 February 2018 13:50 (six years ago) link

I'm slowly working my way through this. Chapter 6 is gorgeous. The way that going underwater affects the score is soo nice

reggae mike love (polyphonic), Friday, 23 February 2018 20:24 (six years ago) link

i LOVE that. it feels genuinely refreshing to sit at the bottom of a pond after a difficult screen

i remember the corned beef of my childhood (Karl Malone), Friday, 23 February 2018 20:28 (six years ago) link

I did the first three b sides and got all the strawberries and stuff for those normal levels. I got enough hearts to unlock the cave and damn I’m like two rooms in and I have no idea

Mordy don’t you have a job and multiple small children and presumably average sleep requirements how are you banging through this so fast

direct to consumer online mattress brand (silby), Saturday, 24 February 2018 05:04 (six years ago) link

My kids love watching my play :D also it really hasn’t taken so long I guess I’ve played a lot of games like this?

Mordy, Saturday, 24 February 2018 05:17 (six years ago) link

Aww yay

direct to consumer online mattress brand (silby), Saturday, 24 February 2018 05:34 (six years ago) link

I should be amazing at this game but I fucking suck at it

I finished the 3rd stage but I'm saving this game for a travel day

i'm just about to start the summit chapter and i've only found 1 tape so far? wtf..

scoff walker (diamonddave85), Saturday, 24 February 2018 17:05 (six years ago) link

they tend to be pretty out of the way

ciderpress, Saturday, 24 February 2018 17:12 (six years ago) link

ZS was right tho that if you're just exploring exhaustively you'll eventually find them (or at least the first few i haven't gotten em all yet)

Mordy, Saturday, 24 February 2018 17:21 (six years ago) link

I haven't played in a few days and my thumbs are still sort of numb.

Josh in Chicago, Saturday, 24 February 2018 17:31 (six years ago) link

i made it to the summit level let's doooo this

reggae mike love (polyphonic), Saturday, 24 February 2018 23:19 (six years ago) link

I've hit a spot which must be toward the end of the hotel level where I know I have to bounce up this chimney and not get hit by those moving pairs of lava things and I know I can do it and that it will take me 100 tries and ... I just don't feel like it. I'll get to it eventually.

Josh in Chicago, Saturday, 24 February 2018 23:55 (six years ago) link

Made it to the summit :)

reggae mike love (polyphonic), Sunday, 25 February 2018 23:46 (six years ago) link

the voices in this game are adorable

scoff walker (diamonddave85), Tuesday, 27 February 2018 04:06 (six years ago) link

YOLOOOOO

Dan I., Tuesday, 27 February 2018 04:16 (six years ago) link

I played the entire main story line without knowing any of these tricks! I figured out just the very first, easiest one on accident and thought that was cool

Dan I., Tuesday, 27 February 2018 05:09 (six years ago) link

oh my god! the last time i played i was super freaked out by these whispering voices that i couldn't make out.

possible spoiler: don't play that until after you've gotten through the mirror chapter

i remember the corned beef of my childhood (Karl Malone), Tuesday, 27 February 2018 05:16 (six years ago) link

I've just about reached the point in this game where all remaining strawberries and uncompleted (i.e. b-side) levels are effectively impossible for my slow-reflexes, low-dexterity, near-middle-aged self.

Dan I., Tuesday, 6 March 2018 17:11 (six years ago) link

Beat the core though!

did anybody watch that video about the whispering voices? i thought it was really cool, but i admit that i am weirdly into reversed whispering voices, probably too much so

the end of chapter six was an incredibly hokey narrative turn visible from a mile off, but also otoh a sweet boss battle

three months pass...

I have now beaten the chapter 6 B side, it only took 2399 deaths

valorous wokelord (silby), Tuesday, 19 June 2018 02:22 (six years ago) link

:O

i think that's where i left off with the game, halfway through it

obviously DLC (Karl Malone), Tuesday, 19 June 2018 02:30 (six years ago) link

I bought this as a treat for myself for finishing a grad school application

I am dying a lot

It is hard

I thought there'd be ten or so levels that let you into it slowly, but

Nope

Chuck_Tatum, Thursday, 28 June 2018 11:52 (six years ago) link

It may be a perfect game but I am on an extended break (I'm as early in the game as the hotel, iirc). The game is relentlessly difficult, even if it handles dying well, though to be fair/honest I haven't tried it on the easier setting yet.

Josh in Chicago, Thursday, 28 June 2018 12:21 (six years ago) link

My right thumb fell off after 30 mins play

Chuck_Tatum, Thursday, 28 June 2018 12:23 (six years ago) link

Mind you it's still easier than Ghosts N Ghouls

Chuck_Tatum, Thursday, 28 June 2018 12:24 (six years ago) link

two weeks pass...

got through the chapter 6 b-side, damn that was rough. but was surprised that only 800-something deaths or so (lol) got tallied up at the end. cool.

loved the summit b-side, what a complete joy to play through... until those wall jumps, my GOD. third flag from the top just brought my momentum to an absolute stop. probably spent half my time for the level on this one screen. but I made it.

then the first screen of the core b-side really humbled me. now on hiatus due to travel but due to deep self-doubt.

def one of the best games ever.

i took a break a while back because my thumb was hurting so badly! think i'm healed up now, but it's gonna take a while to get back in the groove again

Karl Malone, Friday, 13 July 2018 05:34 (six years ago) link

playing on switch & realized I needed a reasonably OK d-pad p early on. ordered an 8bitdo controller. no regrets!

(⊙_⊙?) (original bgm), Friday, 13 July 2018 05:49 (six years ago) link

anyone else not love the celestial resort stages? there's just something about the rhythmic glob maneuvering that I can never quite get a handle on.

(⊙_⊙?) (original bgm), Friday, 13 July 2018 05:53 (six years ago) link

If you can get locked in on the cycles it’s more fun.

three months pass...

I spent last week in bed recovering from surgery and playing Celeste.

Went from loving the story but rushing through the levels and not caring at all about strawberries to beating the game and suddenly realizing that I really really wanted to go back and get everything I missed the first time through. I can't remember the last time I felt the need to 100% a game but I'm pretty sure it was like, the first Donkey Kong Country?

Anyway, this is a great game. Looking forward to driving myself insane trying to unlock the Core level.

finally went on sale on switch btw
