I played Celeste (PICO-8)

I bought an Anbernic device mainly to play PICO-8 games on it, but after playing two games the screen broke and I had to return it so I still have a nice backlog of PICO-8 games to go through when I sit down and set up my Retroid Pocket.

I must say this game was a lot of fun to play, even though I played the games in reverse since I went through Celeste on the Switch a while ago, but this was something I had to experience for myself.

Celeste left such an impression on me that I recalled some of the levels from the Switch game in their original gamejam version, and I must say that it was more difficult than I remembered (but also rewarding) and I made it through:

My first Celeste Pico-8 playthrough

What an intense 17 minutes, I must say. Now I want to went through the Switch game again since I barely scratched its surface. Should I go on and try to complete all extra levels? Get all strawberries?
