Welcome to Celeste Midnight! In essence, this is a harder version of Celeste. I added a Deathless mode, a way to show hitboxes, a skip level function, and some TASing capabilities in a new code tab. Have fun! :)

Castleste: A mod of Celeste Classic in which your legs are broken. You can't walk left or right, but the magic energy of the mountain still allows you to dash and jump. All levels and berries are possible; have fun! :)

Options are available through the pause menu (P or Enter).
Options list:

Shake (disables all forms of screenshake)
Clouds (hides the moving clouds)
Snow (hides the snow in the foreground)
Deco. (hides decoration in the background, leaving solely the interactive stuff)

Hope this helps people out! :)

Welcome to PICOCRAFT, a Minecraft demake with extra features! This is my second finished PICO-8 cartridge. If there's features you would like to see in this or bugs that you find, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE leave a comment! I hope you like this. :)

Changelog

1/30/2022: v1.17.1 Fixed Destroyer bug where they weren't destroying the blocks above them (it was destroying the block above the player, oops).
12/15/2021: v1.17 Added Bombs, DBombs (Destroyer Bombs), and made those damage you in Health mode if you're too close. (This will probably be the final major 1.x update, since I hit the token limit while coding this. Still, I'm proud of how far I've come with this!)
12/11/2021: v1.16 Fixed mining air playing the mining sound in creative mode, added coordinate overlay (in pause menu), added Health gamemode (don't fall too far!), and saving the gamemode. (To convert a prior save to this version, append "#1#1" to the end.)
12/10/2021: v1.15 Gamemode selection updated, weak mode added (no placing/breaking blocks), creative mode updated (break blocks instantly with your fist).
12/9/2021: v1.14 Conveyer-Springs added!
12/8/2021: v1.13 Orbs now stack (2x Speed Orb --> 2x the speed!) and work when placed in the world, and the OMNITOOL has been added -- a combo of the three main tools.
12/4/2021: v1.12 Added Creative Mode, accessible through the pause menu!
12/3/2021: v1.11 Added Orbs, vertical Movers, and made it so that mining Movers or open Doors give you the default version of themselves (e.g. open Doors give closed ones).
12/2/2021: v1.10.2 Fixed A BUNCH OF FEATURES NOT EXISTING (see below changelog for why).
12/2/2021: v1.10.1 Fixed max crafting/smelting not EXISTING WHAT
12/2/2021: v1.10 Changed controls from ESDF to WASD! YAY!!
11/30/2021: v1.9 Added skin chooser in pause menu! (To convert a prior save to this version, append "#1" to the end.)
11/28/2021: v1.8 Fixed buggy box moving, and added color blocks!
11/28/2021: v1.7 Added max crafting/smelting! Craft a whole bunch. (Note: This effectively just speeds up pressing Z a bunch of times -- even if you would use the last of an item, it's not entirely sure if you would, so play it safe and leave a slot open.)
11/28/2021: v1.6.1 The v1.6 bug fix caused performance issues after using a world with a LOT of Movers, so I fixed that. :)
11/28/2021: v1.6 Fixed bug with Block Movers not updating after being moved. Now you can make spaceships!

	[16x8]

11/26/2021: v1.5.2 Made Block Mover unable to move Bedrock or items that need to be supported (e.g. Workbench).
11/26/2021: v1.5.1 Changed Stone Mover to Block Mover.
11/26/2021: v1.5 Leaves' breaking time scales with axes, destroyers and movers added.
11/26/2021: v1.4 Fixed bug with loaded games not being able to be resaved.
11/26/2021: v1.3 Added shovels and axes.
11/26/2021: v1.2 Fixed workbench cursor glitch.
11/26/2021: v1.1 Added day-night cycle saving and ladders. (To convert a v1.0 save to v1.1, append "#0" to the end.)
11/25/2021: v1.0 Initial release.

v1.10.2 Storytime

So apparently, somehow a bunch of changes in my working copy got reverted, leading me to have to download a previous version and make a few updates. Luckily, it all worked out, but it wasn't without stress. I honestly have no clue how this revert happened, but let's hope it doesn't happen in the future.

If you're out of space in your inventory, you won't be able to mine items that won't stack.

The amount of items in the selected inventory slot is displayed at the end of the bar.
Tip: Place a destroyer under a block that normally gives you something else to pick it up easily (e.g. leaves).
