Celeste 64: A New Dimension of a Cult Platformer Game

Maddy Makes Games is celebrating the sixth anniversary of their iconic platformer game, Celeste, by releasing its most ambitious reinterpretation yet. Celeste 64: Fragments of the Mountain is a fully three-dimensional version of the cult platformer for the N64, complete with square polygon graphics and unique movement challenges. The game can now be played on itch.io.

In this new version, players will experience the magic of Celeste Mountain alongside Madeline in a small, heartfelt 3D platforming game. Developed by the Celeste team in just one week to honor the sixth anniversary of the game, Celeste 64 offers surprising amount of content, including bonus stages with music reminiscent of Super Mario Sunshine. It also features dialogues that take place after the original game’s ending, making it somewhat of a sequel.

Celeste, released in 2018, gained acclaim for its precise controls and unforgettable music. In a retrospective published last year, it was hailed as “one of the most important transgender games of all time.”

Celeste 64 can now be downloaded for Windows computers, and a macOS version will be available soon. The game’s development team is currently working on resolving bugs and technical issues.

If you want more information about the development of Celeste 64, IGN reached out to Maddy Makes Games for additional details. This is not the first time Celeste has been reimagined by its original creators. On the third anniversary of its release, Maddy Makes Games released a charming semi-sequel for Pico-8, a virtual environment that emulates the possibilities of 8-bit computers from the 80s.
