When listening to epic music: "I have superpowers!"
When listening to sad music: "Help, i have depression..."
When listening to Celeste music: "Help, my depression has superpowers!"

First battle with Badaline: You avoid touching her.
Second battle with Badaline: She avoids touching you.
Oh how the turns have tabled.

[iantheguy]

I really like that Madeline says “Let’s climb this mountain, together” referencing one of Badeline’s first lines, “Let’s go home, together.”

[bobstayoffthegrass]

I hate it when my depression turns into a Super Saiyan

[AeroVolt]

One of the most intense games of tag I've ever seen

[MonitorMatrix]

Badeline: screaming and tormenting Madeline

Madeline: WHY ARE YOU RUNNING!? WHY ARE YOU RUNNING!?

[lambda]

Can I just say how much I love when it starts "glitching out" as she heals her psyche through this battle, as the boundaries between her and her shadow dissolve?

[Rycluse]

Broke: Running away from your problems

Woke: Your problems run away from you

[julianburchard]

You deal contact damage because _you're the boss._

[ondreyjames]

One of those rare video game moments when story, gameplay and music are so beautifully woven together.

[NathanMills]

That moment when you realize the synth doing the main melody sounds uncannily like the synth that does Madeline/Badeline's 'voice' throughout the game. She's literally confronting herself through the melody

[MatoMeatball]

Chasing Badeline: "Confronting Myself"
Talking with Badeline afterwards: "Comforting Myself"

I can honestly say this game gave me an existential crisis. All my life its been about "destroying" my mental illness and "getting over it" and "over coming" it. That's all fine and dandy, but this game suddenly opened my eyes that that was NOT the only way to deal with it. You have to be able to understand yourself and your mental illnesses. Listen to it when it speaks to you, but try to work together to overcome your fears, not shove it in a closet and pretend it doesn't exist. *I* don't exist without my mental illnesses, and vice versa. So instead of trying to destroy a part of myself, Celeste taught me to try and understand what the other part of me is saying. Acknowledge it, but don't be overruled by it. Listen to its fears, and urge it and yourself to be determined. Find common ground.

I seriously had an epiphany when I played this game. It shifted the axis of my entire life, and definitely in a positive way. This song itself made me start to cry and laugh at the same time. Thank you, thank you so much developers. This game literally changed my life. A lot of people may say that, but I *mean* it. Thank you, thank you so so much. I can't even begin to express the absolute relief and joy at finding this game. Thank you, thank you so so much.

Sorry for the rambling ^^

“Let’s this climb this mountain, together” fitted with madeline’s snarky smile as the portrait is one of the best openings to any boss fight ever.

[TheAdvertisement]

“The first step of healing is confronting the problem.”

[rustyvent]

I love how this level encourages the mindset of just rushing it down and confronting it at the source, very symbolic
probably the most memorable part of the game besides Reach the Summit

[Felipe-leln]

There is nothing more symbolic and POETIC than trying to recover yourself. Embrace yourself. Accept yourself. Celeste is pure art

[Moss_Dude]

This was one of the most empowering moments I've ever felt in a game. When Badeline said "I'll make you regret it!" I just immediately dashed into her without hesitation and screamed out loud *"MAKE ME REGRET IT BITCH!!!"*

[TwilightFlower]

One thing I really like about this fight is that touching Badeline gives you your dash back. Even when fighting, they can dash twice when they're together. Along with some of the jumps being impossible without that mechanic.

A friend recommended me Celeste, and i bought it expecting a mediocre game. I was wrong, its a beautiful game, and its soundtrack is one of the best qualities of it.
Love this one and the one that is called "Resurrections".
