Celeste Strawberry Jam Collab: Intermediate Lobby Red Levels
0As we head into the red levels of the Intermediate Lobby, we encounter a few more maps that approach or even exceed Farewell difficulty - some in terms of mechanics, others in terms of deduction.
00:00 - Intro
01:32 - Square the Circle
2:26:02 - Temple of a Thousand Skies
3:24:57 - Midnight Monsoon
5:45:05 - Deep Blue
7:29:26 - Pointless Machines
8:30:58 - Pufferfish Transportation Co.
Square the Circle easily takes the cake for coolest aesthetic and music in the entire lobby... though that aesthetic can become downright distracting, too. The bubble tracks are a really interesting idea, having both artistic and functional purpose. I spent entirely too much time poking around for extra secrets in this level (and didn't quite figure out the intended way to reach all of them).
Pointless Machines has an interesting memory-game-like premise, that would seem overwhelming judging by the length of its sequences, but the process of understanding how each sequence actually fits into each room renders it similar to learning any room in Celeste, with occasional extra details.
Midnight Monsoon, Deep Blue, and Pufferfish Transportation Co. all extend Farewell mechanics. Monsoon might've been the hardest, just for how much it mixed up grab mechanics. I probably got more confused than I should have at some points - and the thing that probably stumped me the most was a single jellyfish that apparently exists solely to move the player left a few tiles (I incorrectly assumed it must exist for more than just that).
Pufferfish Transportation Co. was much more of a puzzle level than I anticipated, as the real challenge was in understanding where each room expects you to move the pufferfish (and in some cases, zip movers). The focus on puzzles moreso than movement made it arguably more bearable for me than other pufferfish levels.
