Celeste 64: Fragments of the Mountain

Ironic this is called Celeste 64 when I got a lot more PS1 vibes with this. I can't be the only one who was reminded of Croc: Legend of the Gobbos

what an abomination of controls

The aesthetics, music, and concept is a 10/10 for me. Buuuuut, the controls and physics feel off. I feel in love with original not just because the style, but how masterfully it controlled in 2D and the level design built on that. This doesn't feel refined in that department and not even close to how masterfully Nintendo does it in 3D for Mario. Something about it is not snappy enough. Level design is good, but some of it seems to have been put together in a week (which it was).

To everyone complaining 'wah! controls suck!' , this is a free bonus game that they threw together in literally a week, so of course it's going to be jank as hell. Don't take it too seriously.

I have the biggest issue with the camera. I can never get it to zoom in or zoom out when I'd like, making a lot of situations a lot harder than they should be. It's still a really cool freebie game, but after a bit of playing and the novelty wearing off, I realized I'd rather just play Lunistice lol

whuh

this game is not only a 3d platformer but an action camera operator simulator. Half the challenge is controlling the camera.

TIP: Play with a controller. It's honestly shocking how damn good this controls with a controller.
