I only played TowerFall Ascension once—slowing my brother-in-law down in the game’s two-player
survival mode. But despite my short time with the archery combat and
platforming game (it’s similar to the popular Smash Brothers series or the vintage classic Joust) I had a blast. Well the same mind behind TowerFall, Matt Thorson, is releasing a
new game called Celeste later this
month on January 25th.

Celeste’s Steam description says the game is a single-player platforming adventure. Players will help the main character, Madeline, scale a challenging mountain as she struggles with personal demons as well. Matt teamed up with artist/programmer Noel Berry, pixel art squad Mini Boss, audio team Power Up Audio, and composer Lena Raine for the project. Lena and the Power Up Audio team already earned Celeste an IGF nomination for excellence in audio.

If you enjoy platformers, Celeste looks like it will be another great indie hit. Check it out when it launches January 25th on PC, Mac, PS4, and the Nintendo Switch. It will also release a day later on the Xbox One.
