Celeste 64 Takes The Popular Platformer Back In Time...Or Forward

[PopGeeks]

<p>The indie hit Celeste turned six this weekend, and as a special birthday present, Extremely OK Games (the makers of the original) have remade the game’s world in a low-poly, low-res fashion reminscient of the Nintendo 64. However, given that the pixel visuals of the original Celeste are meant to evoke the 8-bit machines of the 1980s (and the game was originally thought up on a facsimile, the Pico-8)…is this actually a leap forward?</p>

Celeste 64 hitting the N64 vibes is mind-blowing! Taking a leap from pixel art to low-poly feels like time-travel gaming. Controlling Madeline in 3D is a challenge I'm up for. And it's free on itch.io? Best birthday gift ever!
