About

Celeste is a critically acclaimed, paid, and proprietary platforming video game developed by Canadian video game developers Matt Thorson and Noel Berry. It originated as a four-day game jam prototype before its full release. The game features pixel graphics and art, optional collectibles, and is available on Mac, Windows, Linux, Nintendo Switch Online, Playstation, and Xbox. Players praise its excellent controls, immersive atmosphere, catchy music, and amazing level designs, noting that despite difficult challenges and frequent deaths, the game is not punishing and avoids frustration. Described as a pixelated 'hand-made' arcade game with a compelling story, Celeste offers satisfying platforming puzzles, supports speedrunning, and includes an Assist Mode. While specific revenue figures, employee count beyond its two core developers, market position, or direct competitors are not detailed, its widespread availability and positive reception highlight its success in the 2D platforming genre.
