Celeste includes Assist Mode

Celeste, which launched just recently on the Nintendo Switch by the talented team behind Towerfall, will include an Assist Mode which enables new users to easily get to grips with the game.

The team says that they recommend playing without Assist Mode on your first time playing, but if you find the game too challenging Assist Mode is there to help you out.

Team about Celeste’s Assist mode

Assist Mode allows you to modify the game’s rules to reduce its difficulty. This includes options such as slowing the game speed, granting yourself invincibility or infinite stamina, and skipping chapters entirely.
Celeste was designed to be a challenging, but accessible game. We believe that its difficutly is essential to the experience. We recommend playing without Assist Mode your first time.

However, we understand that every player is different. If Celeste is inaccessible to you due to its difficulty, we hope that Assist Mode will allow you to still enjoy it.

We already played various levels and can say that it can be pretty challenging for sure. Especially when you want to get the strawberries as well. But we ourselves just won’t use Assist mode. It’s more fun this way for us.
