About Celeste

A pixel night climb. The page is the plum sky from the Celeste box art, cards are the navy of the in-game night, and the lavender mountain carries the body text. Pink, Madeline's two-dash hair, marks headings, links and anything you should press.

Everything snaps to an 8px grid with hard edges and offset pixel shadows. Red counts strawberries and flags warnings, spent-dash blue handles secondary actions and focus, and gold is kept for rewards. The interface stays quiet so the climb reads clearly.
