Q1: Yes, you can get it right away. No items are required for that, just smart usage of Madeline's abilities. There's no reason to rush it though - the second seedbag isn't useful until you get some seeds for it :3

Q2: The chance is low for sure, but that's intentional. This game is more of an idle game than an active one, and it's best enjoyed while chilling out and listening to some music or watching something. If you just want to go for a high score, you don't need to fish for the super-rare catches - farming radishes will give you more than enough income to eventually max out the money counter.

Q1: Yes, you are missing an item to do that. Look around the map! As a hint, it's not hidden in the map expansion - you can get it right from the start of the game.

Q2: You need to fish up a something special to reach him. Don't worry, you'll know it when you get it.

B1: Not a bug! Try doing down+jump too :3

The non-unique fish can be sold for a higher score if you wish - you'll just need to find someone willing to take them off your hands!

this was so fun to complete! loved all the little references >w<

gg! 1:21 is an amazing first time too

congrats!! trueskip is no easy feat, and under two hours too!

thank you rheavenstudio i love you

wooo! can't wait for the improvements, and more minigames this year is very exciting (holding out hope for Hole in One)

hm, that's odd. did it display an error message? if not it could be a browser issue

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

not really sure why i decided to beat this, but i'm glad i did. i feel as if my very being has reached a new plane of consciousness.

re: the smoothing, we changed the physics code to remove an off-by-one error in the vanilla game that causes the 'jankiness' of the movement; however, that normally completely screws up how the game plays. Meep actually wrote a genetic algorithm to find the closest possible physics values to the old code while retaining the smoothness, and it turned out nearly perfect. most of the speedrun tricks and setups from vanilla still work too!

<3 there's six berries total, so you only missed one!

congrats <3 if you're planning on attempting gemskip i'd highly recommend checking out the community glossary, it'll be a huge help https://celesteclassic.github.io/glossary/

The ost is on youtube now, if you're still interested! https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLMrSGPfSt2PxIldACZB4tQjUGdFzw61rI

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

yeah, foreverred smoothed out a lot of the rough difficulty spikes from the original version

congrats on getting through 1100! yeah all berries are possible in all routes

I'd recommend checking out the glossary, it explains things pretty well. https://celesteclassic.github.io/glossary/

yeah, a save / load system was planned for a long time but it didn't end up happening due to space limitations

also good tips for people who want to check out the trueskip content! :>

i love you devs

It's possible, but it requires a lot of advanced speedtech (spikeclips etc). Wasn't made with casual players in mind, haha. Would recommend checking out the Celeste Classic Glossary if you're interested in learning more: https://celesteclassic.github.io/glossary/
