The game's description reads, "Relive the magic of Celeste Mountain alongside Madeline in this small, heartfelt 3D platformer. Created in a week(ish) by the Celeste team to celebrate the game’s sixth anniversary."
IGN has reached out to Maddy Makes Games for more background on the development of Celeste 64. That said, this isn't the first time that Celeste has been reimagined by its original developers. On the occasion of its third anniversary, Maddy Makes Games released a charming semi-sequel for Pico-8 – a virtual machine that mimics the capabilities of the 8-bit PCs of the 1980s.
Despite being developed in a short amount of time, Celeste 64 packs a surprising amount of content, including bonus stages with music reminiscent of Super Mario Sunshine. It also includes dialogue that takes place after the original game, marking it as a little bit of a sequel.
The original Celeste was released in 2018, earning praise for its sharp controls and memorable music. In a retrospective published last year, we called it one "one of the most important trans games ever."
Celeste 64 can be downloaded now on to Windows PC, with a macOS version coming "soon." The game's team are currently addressing bugs and crashes.
