What puts this level firmly in last is the gimmick because I really find the nature of the Dust Bunnies to be incredibly frustrating. The overall visual design of the level is great and I feel a heavy atmosphere when playing through this level more so than most other levels in the game, but the platforming challenges relied so heavily on setting off at the right time so your jumps and dashes meet up with the cycles that it often became frustrating to find the right time to begin.

What I love about Forsaken City though, is the aesthetic of the place. The visuals of this city that are only half-finished and has been left to be reclaimed by nature has an eerie beauty and when paired with the simple music & ambient sound effects, it creates a level that can be quite threatening in its beauty, which is much what I imagine a half-built & abandoned city would feel like in real life.

This chapter is quite unique when it comes to its design. All the other levels are fairly linear, with one room going right into the next, with hidden rooms and secret paths only leading to collectables, however, chapter 5 takes a slightly different approach.

Following that segment, there are the segments where you have to outmanoeuvre the Seekers in what are some pretty fun challenges and very satisfying when you time your jumps correctly to send you flying to your goal. This is of course followed by carrying Theo through the exit to the temple which is once again, a challenge that no other level has anything similar to and it results in quite a challenging segment when it starts to throw everything at you at once.

This level hits on a lot of unique ideas that no other level has to the point where it feels fundamentally different to everything else in the game. It makes for a bit of an oddity of a level, but one that I have quite a fondness for whenever I go back and play it.

We caught a glimpse of it at the end of chapter 6, but here we see the two boosts used to their full potential as the genius level design pours into every room of the level, creating some incredibly challenging, but very rewarding puzzles. By this point in the game, you will have developed quite a large array of skills and this level makes sure to put it all to the test.

Celeste is a critically acclaimed platform game[1] created by Extremely OK Games.[2] The game was released on January 25, 2018, for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PC, Mac, and Linux.[3] The game follows a young woman[4] named Madeline as she climbs the somewhat magical Celeste Mountain, facing opposition from both the mountain's natural obstacles and from within herself.

Celeste's gameplay features fast and tight controls along a series of challenging platforming sublevels that make up a larger Chapter. It follows the simple to learn and hard to master controls that are a staple of its genre, and gameplay has often been compared to others, like Super Meat Boy.[5]

The sublevels, and by extension the game's Chapters, get progressively harder as more mechanics and obstacles are introduced, and the use of these elements merge and flow together the closer the player gets to the summit. Towards the endgame, Celeste introduces many more moves that use various combinations of the basic three moves (jumping, climbing, and dashing) in tandem; these techniques are explored in detail on the Moves page.

The original Celeste (now called Celeste Classic[2] and appearing as a mini-game in the full Celeste game[6]) was developed in Pico-8 by Noel Berry and Maddy Thorson for a game jam over the course of 4 days. This game had 30 segments, with a total of 18 collectable strawberries.[7] The game now referred to as Celeste was first playable at PAX West 2016,[2] and the game itself was released January 25, 2018.[3]

Celeste garnered positive reception from multiple review studios. IGN, the game's first reviewer, gave the game a 10/10,[12] Polygon rated Celeste an 8/10,[13] and the current standing on Metacritic is averaged 91% across its platforms, with an average user score of 7.3/10.[14]

Celeste also was nominated for Game of the Year, next to God of War (the winner), Spider-Man, Red Dead Redemption 2, Assassin's Creed: Odyssey, and Monster Hunter World. Most notably though, this game has been received as though it was a love-letter to speedrunners. It became a common appearance at GDQ quite quickly, having 4 runs between 3 GDQs (two TAS, two human)[15]. On speedrun.com, this game often sits in the top ten most active speed games.[16] As of July 2024, it now stands as the 4th most speedrun Game in History (On speedrun.com).

Many people who have played this game have noted that it is a fantastic analogue for depression and anxiety. Jirard Khalil (host of the Completionist) stated, "It's not the first video game about mental health, [and it's] not the first to use a mountain as a metaphor for one's personal struggles, but that doesn't matter because Celeste just knocks it right out of the park. [...] Now obviously, no two people are going to have the exact same experience when it comes to mental illness, [...] but it absolutely nails the feeling of trying to take care of your own mental and emotional health."[17]

Love this little mod! Excellent tool to practice speedrunning. Kind of wish there was an option to not get repeat levels though. I often get the same level over and over -- maybe you could have finished levels be removed from the possible levels it can choose from? (although after 30 levels it could start repeating, it's just weird to get the same level a bunch of times in a row)

@MacadamiaMan I actually made something similar to what you're suggesting a while ago, but only posted it on the Celeste Classic Discord server. It includes the chest room as one of the random levels though, meaning you might end up having two dashes for the majority of the game or you might end up facing a lot of gemskip levels early on.

Great mod, but there are a few problems.
-Too many balloons (occasionally there are just balloons in places for no reason, the generator must like them a lot lol)
-Random junk blocks (odd formations in nearly every level such as random nooks in the blocks or just random tiles placed in odd spots)
-No berries (this is more of a personal thing. don't take it too seriously!)

Apart from these, though, the game is great. It has some amazing generation every few levels and even has spots that look like they would be great for berries. It's also fun to play just to see what you get!

A new report from the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) shows that records were once again broken, and in some cases smashed, for greenhouse gas levels, surface temperatures, ocean heat and acidification, sea level rise, Antarctic sea ice cover and glacier retreat.

Heatwaves, floods, droughts, wildfires and rapidly intensifying tropical cyclones caused misery and mayhem, upending every-day life for millions and inflicting many billions of dollars in economic losses, according to the WMO State of the Global Climate 2023 report.

The WMO report confirmed that 2023 was the warmest year on record, with the global average near-surface temperature at 1.45 Celsius (with a margin of uncertainty of 0.12 C) above the pre-industrial baseline. It was the warmest ten-year period on record.

On an average day in 2023, nearly one third of the global ocean was gripped by a marine heatwave, harming vital ecosystems and food systems. Towards the end of 2023, over 90% of the ocean had experienced heatwave conditions at some point during the year.

Antarctic sea ice extent was by far the lowest on record, with the maximum extent at the end of winter at 1 million km2 below the previous record year - equivalent to the size of France and Germany combined.

The number of people who are acutely food insecure worldwide has more than doubled, from 149 million people before the COVID-19 pandemic to 333 million people in 2023 (in 78 monitored countries by the World Food Programme). Weather and climate extremes may not be the root cause, but they are aggravating factors, according to the report.

This week, at the Copenhagen Climate Ministerial on 21-22 March, climate leaders and ministers from around the world will gather for the first time since COP28 in Dubai to push for accelerated climate action. Enhancing countries Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) ahead of the February 2025 deadline, will be high on the agenda, as will delivering an ambitious agreement on financing at COP29 to turn national plans into action.

"Climate Action is currently being hampered by a lack of capacity to deliver and use climate services to inform national mitigation and adaptation plans, especially in developing countries. We need to increase support for National Meteorological and Hydrological Services to be able to provide information services to ensure the next generation of Nationally Determined Contributions are based on science", said Celeste Saulo.

The State of the Global Climate report was released in time for World Meteorological Day on 23 March. It also sets the scene for a new climate action campaign by the UN Development Programme and WMO to be launched on 21 March. It will inform discussions at a climate ministerial meeting in Copenhagen on 21-22 March.

Dozens of experts and partners contribute to the report, including UN organizations, National Meteorological and Hydrological Services (NMHSs) and Global Data and Analysis Centers, as well as Regional Climate Centres, the World Climate Research Programme (WCRP), the Global Atmosphere Watch (GAW), the Global Cryosphere Watch and Copernicus Climate Change Service operated by ECMWF.

The long-term increase in global temperature is due to increased concentrations of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. The shift from La Nia to El Nio conditions in the middle of 2023 contributed to the rapid rise in temperature from 2022 to 2023.

Global average sea-surface temperatures (SSTs) were at a record high from April onwards, with the records in July, August and September broken by a particularly wide margin. Exceptional warmth was recorded in the eastern North Atlantic, the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean, the North Pacific and large areas of the Southern Ocean, with widespread marine heatwaves.
