Description
This is a portable Celeste Classic C source port, adapted specifically for the original PlayStation using psn00bsdk, the open-source SDK for PSX development.
Extra info
Celeste Classic is the original prototype of Celeste, created by Maddy Thorson and Noel Berry during a game jam. This version represents the foundation of what would later become one of the most acclaimed indie platformers of all time. Built with a minimalist approach, Celeste Classic focuses on tight controls, precise platforming, and a pure gameplay loop, showcasing the core ideas that would define the full commercial release.
Unlike the later versions, Celeste Classic features simple pixel art, a limited color palette, and a condensed structure, offering a raw and challenging experience that emphasizes skill and mastery over narrative and presentation.
This project is built using cceleste, a C source port of the original PICO-8 release, combined with psn00bsdk, an open-source development kit for the original PlayStation. Together, they make it possible to faithfully bring this minimalist platforming experience to PS1 hardware.
It is important to note that the game does not support pausing or save states. Attempting to use save states will result in a crash.
