Why are the graphics so ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ awful?

[Sammy]

I mean if you're gonna do "pixel art" at least have a talented artist like say Sonic Mania or Shovel Knight, this game just looks ultra low-budget, like the devs didn't have a proper graphics artist on the payroll.

The pixel art in this game is incredible, and very unique. Not every game has to be stunning sonic 3 or Owlboy levels of pixel art, it's just a different style and I personally think it fits the game perfectly.

[Garlboh]

Game looks good.

[Pervvv]

Looks fine to me

[MoltenFrost2021]

why is your taste so awful?

Nevermind the fact the style this game is going after is more 8-bit in nature, but I doubt you are able to even distinguish anything beyond arggghhh awwffuuul dur dur

The game uses a lot of modern effects, it doesn't try to replicate old school pixel art and does its own thing.

[Princess Entrapta]

Objectivity doesn't exist in art.

[k-string]

I'm impressed with a lot of the effects in this game. Mirrors, the acceleration goop in chapter 2, etc. Plus there's a lot of art that only shows up in one place in the game. In the city for instance, there are a bunch of unique posters.

Oh, I almost forgot. The lighting and shadows in chapter 5 are downright lovely.

The graphical style of celeste is beautiful and artistic in it's own way. Just because it's basic, doesn't make it ugly.

[SilentBugler]

I have conducted continuous ocular inspection of many graphics, pixel or otherwise.

My expert opinion is this:
These are perfectly fine graphics.

[Caine]

I thought the graphics are a selling point. Guess I'm blind.

it's the game engine the game is made in, look at caveblazers
http://store.steampowered.com/app/452060/Caveblazers/
- its literally the same game engine.
conversely, look at Wuppo
http://store.steampowered.com/app/400630/Wuppo/
- same engine as well. Looks a bit better though, don't it?

Celeste is made on C++ and XNA
Caveblazers is made on game maker

But even then i think celeste looks pretty nice

Cave blazers graphics didn’t impress me either. Making high quality pixel art is a true art form

[d0mmunism]

The art itself is fine. You just don't like the aesthetic.

[MADOX—⓪①]

Low quality bait
