also some more music would be great.. but that's just a small thing.
Just typed up this devlog if you're interested in what I might do with this game. As for working together with together, I normally work alone on projects (and have improved significantly at pixel art since I made this). However, given that this is a fan game and not really original, it would be nice to include other people who are fans of Celeste in its development, and I'll definitely consider your suggestion.
Nice tileset! Reminds me of the PICO-8 version with the background walls. Also good to see that you changed the winged strawberry room to something actually possible. My main problem is that the icicles look like they should be hazards, maybe make them darker to show they're in the background (also it looks like you used the hair palette index for the checkpoint flags, there should be another red that doesn't change).
Do you have the .map file for this version of the example level?
its example level.. but well never see this version outside of this video again. my computer suddenly struggled and closed all tabs.. so I couldn't save or continue with what I made.. its really sad but it was really fun making own sprites.. also the hair color thing is on purpose. I just thought that it is hilarious.
