Celeste is one of the best platformers. It's both a masterpiece itself and host to a vibrant community of excellent modded levels. Strawberry Jam is the best celeste content that has ever been made. Its brilliance outshines spring collab 2020, the base game and even farewell.

Strawberry Jam is a gift to the world. One that is unbelievably jam-packed with the efforts of over 300 people.

So many of these levels just blow me away. So many of these levels are pure manifestations of fun. So many of these levels are incredibly clever. So many of these levels are delightfully evil. Even the ones that don't stand out to me or aren't my style are well done. I love how many different kinds of experiences these levels offer, this pack is non-stop creativity.

The visuals are so gorgeous...sometimes it feels like they're showing off. Even just exploring each lobby is a treat. I'm surprised how satisfying it is to collect each level's completion sticker.

The soundtrack is huge and incredibly diverse, it's one of my favorite osts

If you're intimidated by Modded Celeste, don't worry there's 5 lobbies of difficulty, each with it's own set of levels. The beginner lobby is easier than what the base game throws at you (and also has some of my favorite levels!) Also included in the pack is an excellent training and tutorial area, where you can learn and practice the tech you would need for any lobby. This is probably one of the best celeste resources that's been made so far, a perfect place to start if you're interested in going deeper into the game

2 of the lobbies here are way above my skill level. Each level in the advanced lobby took me hours. At the time of writing this review I have 150 hours in strawbery jam, 90 of them are in the advanced lobby. Yet as my deathcount piles up so does my love. {The heartsides are frustrating though, they're definetly the lowpoint of the experience. I hate how long their rooms are}

I've played a few celeste mods, I intend to play a lot more. This one will probably remain my favorite, i absolutely adore the insane variety. I am grateful to the strawberry jam team for creating something so wonderful. I am grateful to the celeste modding community for elevating one of all time favorite games to somehow greater heights
