Foreverred
Foreverred is a mod of Celeste Classic that took a year to develop. Starting as a update to my first mod, Everred, it grew into a full re-imagining of the levels, and eventually into the biggest Celeste Classic mod ever released.
The mod is over three times the size of the original game, and features brand new levels, mechanics, sprites, and music - huge thank you to my friends Augie745 and RubyRed for their wonderful original tracks!
Controls:
- Z - Jump
- X - Dash
- Arrow Keys - Move
- E - Toggle Flashing Effects
Lots of credit to Maddy and Noel from EXOK Games for the original game, and to the Celeste Classic Discord for all the help and feedback. Extra special thank you to my developer friends Gonen and Meep, who helped optimize, compress, and fit everything into one PICO-8 cartridge. This project wouldn't have been possible without them.

congrats!! trueskip is no easy feat, and under two hours too!
This is the best i could get. Edit: I just got sub 6.
oh yeah
how in the actual hell do you do a500 true skip?
:edit nvm i got it lol
but for a1100, i stuck, again...
for 1100m, you have to corner jump off of the spikes to reach the wall on the other side and wall jump up.
most of the tricks used in gemskip and trueskip are mentioned here: https://celesteclassic.github.io/glossary/ (check the corner jump section for 1100m)
TY so much i tried for like an hour....
What do you do for 500M? I cant figure it out.
and 800M
you need to wall jump off of spiked walls to pass 500m and 800m (check "parity" and "spike jump" sections here: https://celesteclassic.github.io/glossary)
gg! 1:21 is an amazing first time too
You could say I done good
oh yeah shwam
trying this again and oh
awesome
very fun very good
what room is gem skip in? and how do i do it?
first deathless run
Holy! nice pace too!
ive been grinding my time at work to get under 10 minutes. Very fun good job on this! : )
I can't stop playing, its the only fun i get at work
new best time :3 with all turnips too
the game crashed on me randomly (that was the first time that has happened) also who thinks they can beat the game without touching the ground?
hm, that's odd. did it display an error message? if not it could be a browser issue
you can almost do it. (getting the gems is impossible without touching the ground, but "Beginnings" is possible with 2 dashes without touching the ground. 2nd gem isn't though. 1100 is possible but it requires multiple spike clips. Everything else is possible I think.
sad that i cant play the skip without a progress save
YOO THE SECRET IN GRAVEYARD OF THE FALLEN IS AWESOME
heres my first run getting to here
thats how it go, it gets so much faster after your first run because you actually know what you are doing, i went from an hour on my first complete run to 20 minutes, and can do all berries in sub 10
Nice job, man!
Also those runs were before i actually started playing celeste and now i can beat this in under 10 mins too with all berries
Hey guys, try opening the chest and walking into the right wall in the first screen...
s e c r e t s
first gemskip, hated it. round 2!
where is the snake minigame
below forgotten graveyard, suicide andits not really death
Thanks, at first I didn't even realize there was a hole there
I just noticed that the snake computer is the computer from steam celeste where you can play celeste classic
Oh yeah! You're right!
*realizes how to do gemskip*
OH THATS WHY THE LEVELS LOOK SO WEIRD
when 500 requires 2 consecutive spike walljumps...
and then there is 1100
spam z
how do u change difficulty from normal
I NEED EVEN MORE CHALLENGE NOW THAT I GOT SUB 20 ALL BERRIES
got 8:40 yesterday
gemskip or trueskip
whats true ski- Oooooh you skip both gems
Acually, you have to open the chest at the beginning, then not get the gem OR go up, go right instead, right through the wall.
Edit: it's extremly hard. Don't say I didn't warn you.
couldn't even get past first screen, screens are insanely long, near end uses OG celeste classic speedrun tactics and recreations of the levels combined into one screen
normal
got 24 minutes all berries, what is gemskip and trueskip?
As far as I know, gemskip means beating the beginning without touching the gem. When you do that, you have 1 dash, but the game is still possible.
yeah, i found out, and I'm stuck around 1300, and struggle on 500, though i have beaten 500
some of these levels are a pain, but all of them are possible. You can find a walkthrough on youtube if you can't figure out how to beat a level. I've beaten this game on the normal difficulty in 9 minutes 42 seconds with all berries and I still couldn't beat the game with gemskip, so don't worry if you're stuck too.
Awesome mod I beat it with all berries and then tried gemskip but only got so far
you can hyper dash like in the original game just dash+jump while still being on the ground while before jumping
Awesome game!
I had an absolute blast with this! I didn't realize that I had two dashes until - by accident - I hit the button again on screen three (I was like 'is there a trick I'm missing?'). Then I got to the end and saw there was a difficulty option, I realized that no, that actually was an intended other way to play! I probably won't attempt hard mode just yet, but in all, a very good way to spend an hour.
my up arrow pauses the game, is there any fix for this? :(
that's really strange, never heard of anything like that happening in PICO-8 games before.
make sure you're focused on the game screen by clicking on it, and if that doesn't fix it, let me know what os / browser you're using and i'll see what i can do
is there a practice mod for foreverred?
Really cool Celeste classic mod! I enjoyed a lot.
My stats:
342 deaths - 9 berries - 43min
After a couple of runs just found the snake minigame.
what is the snake minigame?
whats the golden redberry
no deaths
and its reddish
NEW PB, 30 seconds off my previous best
Any tips for new people?
well, kinda, number 1 tip is try to be able to beat the original celeste classic, which you can find by just searching up celeste classic in search, its a much easier game and better for newer players to get used to the mechanics. some of the levels are kinda hard to beat, so i also recommend finding a video guide on the game or watching professional speedruns and seeing how they do things. this isnt really an easy game so even if you know what ya gotta do, it still takes some practice to be able to do efficiently. if you want to know some quick speedrun mechanics however, cause gemskip does require some speedrun tricks to do, you can wall jump off of spikes if you time it correctly. another thing thats possible is that if you space it correctly you can briefly, but i mean barely, get your dash back and walk on the top of spikes, however the window on where you have to land is extremely tight in most cases, and mostly this trick is only used in specfic secetions of gemskip. but yeah, those are my tips for a beginner. if you join the celeste classic discord (which you can find by literally typing celeste classic discord in google), there are people who are better then me to give much advice if you're interested tho.
Thanks for your advise stranger I'll take it to heart :D
Edit: I finished my first run thank you
nice, the game is really hard so seriously, congrats, so the next 2 things you should do is try to beat the game on normal but getting all 12 strawberry's (result is cool, trust me and isnt much harder then beating it normal, other then like 2 strawberry being semihard to get), then the next you should do is the pain in misery that is gemskip. ima just say how to commence it, you have to beat the first level without getting the gem from the chest to commence gemskip, also if you do it correctly the little gem in the top right by the timer will be green instead of the redish pink it is on neutral. gotta warn ya tho, gemskip is really hard so i recommend you pratice normal a few more times before jumping straight into the pain and misery that is gemskip. also, do
I did it :D 12/12 berries the secret place was really cool. Now it's time to suffer in gemskip B)
wall jump off of spikes doesnt work like that, first you must gain an odd parity by walking into a left border or a left wall, then you can jump off of left facing spikes/spikes on a right wall, hope this clears it up for you!
What you called an 'odd parity' is actually called 'gaining subpixels'. Just wanted to clarify
amazing mod, super fun, currently have a best time of 1 hour 15 minutes on gem skip and 5 minutes and 55 sec on normal. havent done true skip yet...
but also heres my normal pb for proof
new pb once againnn
now 22 seconds >:-)
Really nice mod. As a casual player I enjoyed it a lot.
Cool mod. I got a 24 minute time first try. Gonna improve more hopefully!
This is probably the best Celeste hack i have ever played. I also love that you included the snake game like the pico 8 in Celeste.
maybe someday I'll speedrun, but I would have to be very desperate. now, just trueskip and speedrun
LETS HECKING GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I finally beat gemskip!!!!!!!!!! 1:55:02, 11 berries, 1137 deaths. LETS GO
YEESSSSSSSSSS I DID IT I BEAT 1900 GEMSKIP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! am I supposed to somehow skip the second gem or do I just take it and do the rest with two dashes?
there's no way to skip it
oh wow this is tough
I am beginning to realize that trueskip is the supreme test of patience and skill
three questions about trueskip: has anyone ever beaten it (other than taco360)? how long did it take them? how many levels are there?
quite a few people have done it, you can check out the speedrunning leaderboard here and click the "trueskip" tab to view the runs! https://www.speedrun.com/celestep8mods/full_game#Foreverred
hmm. what is trueskip? I know what gemskip is of course but what is true skip?
trueskip is AMAZING OH MY GOSH
How to do: on first level, open chest then go back right through the wall. that will open the way
but don't get the gem
