Gameplay notes: Spikes everywhere, with some obvious but interesting special jumps off of elevators and lots of wallbouncing. I especially liked the part where you get two jellyfish to juggle it was like a pinball multiball.Īesthetic notes: Farewell sprites and music, but darker! That's it, but I like those things Gameplay notes: Just more Farewell, with jellyfish and springs and goddamn feathers, but the jellyfish puzzles are really fun and make up for the existence of feathers. I did like the dream block blobs they were cute. Music was pleasant but a bit too cheerful to fit.

Took me a lot of tries.Īesthetic notes: Mirror Temple, but with red spikes and fire. Gameplay notes: Jump into red bubbles, go through dream blocks, jump out and wallbounce, repeat. Really, I love you all and everyone who worked on this is a beautiful person. All of the grades are on a curve within this collection of maps only. Note that 'puzzle' for me includes stuff like figuring out that I need to diagonal-dash instead of up-dash or whatever. Difficulty is on a 1-10 scale and I split it into Execution ('how hard is it to do the thing') and Puzzle ('how hard is it to realize exactly what you need to do'). I'm just lucky that this game lets me substitute determination for skill. I'm pretty bad and my death count reflects that. And here they are! They're arranged more or less clockwise from the start because that's how I played them. So, when I eventually beat that ('eventually', because, wow, that underwater bit in Beginner Heartside, bless your heart whoever made that) I decided to make some notes about the Intermediate levels so I could be specific about how much I loved them. Just.wow, right? It's astonishing to me to be part of a community that does so much for such a great game. Then when I started in on the Beginner Heartside and realized what it was doing I was so overcome by the sheer artistry of it I had to put my controller down for a moment to collect myself. I blew through the Beginner levels and they were all fantastic (especially the Theo puzzles!).

I had heard it was good, so after beating Celeste on my PS4, I rebought it for the PC just so I could find out. Holy shit, you guys, the Spring Collab is blowing my mind.
