Man this mod is awesome. True ending is incredible!

The best Celeste mod I've ever seen. Took me a while to complete it (no mouse, using trackpad), but worth the time. Thank you very much!

I just realized why it's named that. nice touch!

How do i do 1800

@AeroE (Spoilers) Here's how I personally do it. :)

hmmmm yes my brain is melting at this very moment

how do i do this?
[/aa hmm]
(add it in a hidden block please)

@SandwichBlam: Here's a GIF from your current spot :P

@SandwichBlam: If you're interested in modding Celeste Classic, you might be interested in the Celeste Classic community's discord- can get help on stuff specific to the game and find people to play your stuff :D

oops I think I typed that wrong, I mean, I saw your games on Itch.io, a while back and that inspired me!

this is so amazing, i'd expect it to have around triple digit stars yet it only has 30, i love it so much, it replicates celeste difficulty greatly and i love the mari0 controls, this is currently my favorite pico-8 game of all time

new speedrun strat found??

@Meep Congratulations! It's the best pico-8 game I've ever played! It seems to be made by a professional programmer!

This is my best score:

But this is really IMPOSSIBLE!

I play portal 2 and this is a very good demake!

Wow, When I Beat This Mod, This Celeste Mod Called "Caroline" Was Inspired By "Portal 1/2", And "Portal Reloaded", I Will Upload My Video On Any Of Social Media Platforms

After Much Minutes, But 17:39.5, I Got No Cores With Deaths At 11

It Is Recommended That You Should Play This Game "Portal 1", "Portal 2", Or "Portal Reloaded"

Portal 1: https://store.steampowered.com/app/400/Portal/
Portal 2: https://store.steampowered.com/app/620/Portal_2/
Portal 2 [RELOADED]: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1255980/Portal_Reloaded/

Does anyone know how to pass the 1700m room?
1

I know I’m late but pls make a mobile posible version

While replaying the game after some years, I discovered that the game doesn't allow you to enter the penguin route if you don't end the game with all the 6 cores...

P.S. I still think it's the best pico-8 game ever made!

@Meep: I've found a different ending... and it's still alive!


P.S. Score sucks... nice music!

Why is there no reset room button I keep softlocking myself.
2

Awesome job, @Meep.

I'm not so much into precision plafformers, but I love Portal. This is THE BEST Celeste mod I've ever played.

With almost 100 gold stars, I thkink the only reason this cart is not featured on the BBS is because @zep probably doesn't want the Featured Carts section flooded it with Celeste mods.

I mean, if even OLDESTE by @noel with 90 stars isn't featured...

It's a shame, though. I wish this mod had more visibility.
1

@andrejtrindade: I never thought too hard about the featured carts—the stars suggest its gotten a fair amount of visibility regardless of it so I can't complain. :D Glad you enjoyed it!

I uploaded a simple fork that saves your progress.

  • Saving happens when you enter a new room
  • Time tracking, collectibles and deaths are also saved
  • You can reset save data in the pause menu

This fork aims to help those who prefer to play in short bursts, like myself.

I hope you don't mind, @Meep!

Implementation Notes

  • Changes were kept to a minimum, I counted only 23 lines of code with a diff tool
  • I had to use split() on two tables to stay below the token limit

Ok,thanks to the cartdata fork I've finally been able to beat it!

Still missing one collectible though. How do you get this last one?

> I've found a different ending... and it's still alive!

Couldn't find it, @flix. Any tips? I have a theory...

I think you must get to that penguin sign at the top, but I don't know how...

Thanks, @Meep, You are the best!

I finished the game with all collectibles now.

I noticed the penguin showed up below the sign... After trying for a while, I could finally get to him!

There is an extra stage? This one is tough...

@flix said it is "IMPOSSIBLE!" Is it really? Probably not, since he ended up discovering that alternate ending...

Any tips are greatly appreciated!
1

@andrejtrindade: It's definitely possible. :)

Hints:

You need to retrieve both cubes.

You have to abuse how cubes respawn when they fall off screen. One of the cubes notably spawns from above. 👀

From here, there are multiple ways to get one of the cubes to the button. 👀

How many screens?
1

That's amazing, @Meep!

I was already past the first two tips, but tip #3 was spot on.


It didn't occur to me to push one cube while the other was falling. After that, it was easy finishing the stage. I didn't even need to use the spring.

Now I cleared that extra stage! And... Found another one!

But I'm also having trouble with it. How embarassing! This is how far I've got:

Still can't get to the upper platform though. Tried shooting portals on the white block on the upper right, but it's too far away.

Would you be so kind to give me some hints again?
1

@andrejtrindade:

While there is a route which can directly get on top of the upper right platform, the intended (and easier) way is to find a way up the upper left and exit from the cubes.

The side of the white block in the upper right is within reach from the start that you tried. That block is pretty high up—can you convert the momentum from falling from that high into enough vertical speed to make it up the left?
2

Fantastic, @Meep! I managed to do it!

I finally got the alternate ending!

I still have a few questions for you...

  1. Are there any secrets left to uncover or I've done it all (thanks to your help, of course)?
  2. I understand the Portal references (love both games), but why penguins?
  3. Is the cube on the regular ending useful for something? I didn't use it to get to the extra levels...
1

@andrejtrindade: Congratulations!

To answer the questions:

  1. That should be everything!
  2. The short answer is that I just really like penguins. I've snuck them into all of my mods/games. ;)
  3. It's mostly just something to play with at the end screen. There are cute ways in which it can be used to get to the extra levels, but it's not mandatory as you found. :P

Thanks for taking the time to answer all my questions, @Meep...

And thanks for uploading this cart! I like platformers, but I LOVE puzzles - so this is not only my favorite Celeste Mod, but also one of the best experiences I ever had in PICO-8.

I'm also playing Fairway, your most recent cart... It's a lot of fun too!

Note: I updated my fork of Caroline to make sure the correct music is played when a level is loaded from cartdata.
