<p>It's been six years since Maddy Makes Games released <a data-i13n="cpos:1;pos:1" href="https://www.engadget.com/tag/celeste/">Celeste[/url], a tough but heartfelt 2D platformer that turned out to be one of the most memorable indie games of the last decade. It was one of <a data-i13n="cpos:2;pos:1" href="https://www.engadget.com/2018-12-31-best-games-of-2018.html">our favorite games of 2018 too[/url]. To mark the anniversary, the studio has created a 3D spinoff that you can play for free right now.</p> <p>Celeste 64: Fragments of the Mountain has many of the hallmarks of the original game. You'll once again take control of Madeline as she attempts to traverse difficult terrain, only this time there's an added dimension. Madeline can jump, dash and climb her way up perilous floating platforms while avoiding spikes and pitfalls. There are <a data-i13n="cpos:3;pos:1" href="https://itch.io/t/3471535/guide-spoilers-strawberrys-little-secrets">some Easter eggs[/url] for fans to discover too. As ever, Madeline's movement is slick and, based on some brief hands-on time, Celeste 64: Fragments of the Mountain is an enjoyable, fresh dose of this universe.</p> <span id="end-legacy-contents"></span><div id="d58639761e0f41cea0f69a5690d2b957"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Gear up for the Celeste 6th Anniversary Challenge! |
