man I cannot find these last two strawberries in the second section of Chapter 2, searching around then is kinda lame so any hints would be very appreciated

A strawberry in chapter 3 taught me how to get the blue heart in chapter 2 and it blew my loving MIND this game is insane.

Also chapter three is an extremely good spooky feel
I have not even an idea of where the Chapter 2 Crystal Heart might be so this sounds loving crazy

It took me quite awhile to finish chapter 1-B, then I sat and contemplated how to get the crystal heart for chapter 1. It took me awhile but I finally figured it out. I was way overthinking it.

Yeah that's where I was too, since it's fairly obvious WHAT you're supposed to do, but figuring out HOW is insane.

It's pretty cool how all the blue hearts are brainbusters and the read hearts are uh... skill... busters?

Also I don't think the game makes this clear (and I don't think it works this way for other levels) but your progress in B-sides gets saved to whatever screen you're on. You can even get partway through one B-side, go start up another one, and then resume the one you were playing previously. Pretty generous and makes things a lot less stressful knowing you don't have to marathon them

Yeah that's what I assumed too, but after making some progress in 1B and getting stumped I finished the main story, then beat 2B, and then when I reloaded 1B I was pleasantly surprised to see myself right where I left off. Definitely a load off, that's also why I persevered to the bitter end in 2B lol

I tried it just now on 3-B and it didn't seem to work. I wonder if there are specific checkpoints or something?

I think just selecting Save and Quit keeps you where you left off? I remember a tip popping up saying something like that but maybe the B Sides work differently

Yeah, Save and Quit does that with any level, but if you select your file again it puts you back in the level, you can't go do other levels.

I was sold when I saw you can play a Pico8 version of the game in the game. I've needed something to replace Dead Cells and Caveblazers since I've been burned out on playing those for hours on end.

What's the average playtime for each chapter looking like so far?

The chapters vary dramatically in length. The first two took me about 15 minutes and then 3 is huge and took almost an hour. None of which is counting returning to levels to find things I missed.

Looking at my times (ignoring almost all optional stuff) the first two took me 15 minutes, the other 5 took me between 30 minutes and an hour. There's an eighth chapter I haven't unlocked and there are also alternate B-side versions of each one that are much harder (the only one I've beaten took me 40 minutes)

I was kinda worried it'd be short at first, but hearing all the content and challenges this game has, it sounds like I'll have this on my plate for a while.

A friend of mine was dismissive of Celeste because it was $20 and he saw someone had already beaten it in 2.5 hours and I could not get him off this track. He literally went and paid $14 to see a 90 minute movie the other day, but clutches to the One Dollar An Hour For Video Game standard

It's really tough. You need to land on the moving platform, have the spring bounce you up, dash across and fall fast enough to land on the other side of the platform before it goes back, duck and ride it to the center column, then wall jump up and jump with enough momentum to let you dash up and over those top spikes.

Good luck.

If you have to do what I think you have to do with the Crystal Hearts once you collect em all, that's pretty clever. Check out the screen in the journal where it shows them, there's an interesting bit to the interface there

i picked this up last night and beat chapters 1 and 2 and the b sides. cool game. i liked the clone gimmick from the N games in the 2 b-side. makes me wish the switch controllers weren't such pieces of crap tho. i know shigeru miyamoto personally murdered gunpei yokoi but that doesn't mean that they had to make the worst d pad of all time on the pro controller just to sully his memory.

Yeah I beat The End Is Nigh on Switch and it wasn't that bad but doing all the diagonal inputs in this game with the worst d pad in the world is loving painful

It's weird, when I did a lot of Zelda 3 rando, I had to use the xbone dpad, but I've gone through shovel knight, and now playing this, using the analogue stick in portable mode. There's probably just less reliance on diagonal inputs in something sidescrolling than overhead. Even then, it's very infrequent for me to miss a diagonal dash with the stick. Certainly feels better than playing with the arrow buttons in portable mode.

Although, I feel like when I first did it I was fast enough to hit the spring a second time for the final jump, but that doesn't seem to make sense.
