About Celeste Classic 2
Celeste Classic 2 is a small PICO-8 platformer in which you hike around a mountain. It was put together in three days to mark an anniversary of the series. Its title screen gives it a subtitle, Lani's Trek, and it plays like a compact adventure on a fantasy console.
Everything runs on the arrow keys plus X and C, inside the tiny square screen that PICO-8 is known for. The art is chunky and bright against black, and the title screen's pink logo and gold mountain outline set the mood.
You can play Celeste Classic 2 online here. Small buttons beside the game handle pause, sound and fullscreen, so you can go big or step away without losing your place.
How to Play Celeste Classic 2
- Click inside the game window so it reads the keyboard.
- Move with the arrow keys.
- Use X and C for your two actions.
- Make your way around the mountain, one area at a time.

What to Expect in Celeste Classic 2
Expect a compact platformer built around careful movement and a trek with somewhere to get to. It's short, since it was built in three days, and every screen is designed around the same three inputs.
If you enjoy PICO-8 platformers, this one shows off what a small team can do inside the console's limits: a tidy screen, a tight palette and music written for the game.
Tips for Celeste Classic 2
- Go fullscreen from the side button. The screen is tiny otherwise.

- Pause from the side button rather than clicking away, which can make the game lose focus.

What is the goal in Celeste Classic 2?

Maddy Thorson, Noel Berry and Lena Raine made Celeste Classic 2 in three days, with testing by Kevin Regamey. It's released on itch.io under Maddy Makes Games and Extremely OK Games, and FunClicker embeds that original version with a credit link.
Can I play Celeste Classic 2 on a Chromebook or phone?
A Chromebook works, since Celeste Classic 2 runs in the browser and only needs the arrow keys plus X and C. A phone is a poor fit, because the game is made for a keyboard and careful movement is hard on a touchscreen. A laptop keyboard is the easy choice.
Is Celeste Classic 2 unblocked at school?
Celeste Classic 2 needs only a browser tab, with nothing to install. Whether it opens on a school network depends on that network's filters, which we do not control. If it loads, the cartridge is small and runs on the keyboard alone.
What is Lani's Trek?
Lani's Trek is the subtitle on the Celeste Classic 2 title screen. It names the hike the game is about, a trek around a mountain. If you see Lani's Trek mentioned somewhere, this PICO-8 platformer is the game it refers to.
Is Celeste Classic 2 a long game?
No. Celeste Classic 2 was made in three days, so it's compact. That suits the browser well: you can play it through in a short session, then come back for a cleaner, faster run once you know the mountain and what X and C can do.
