One of my biggest criticisms of Celeste custom mapping has historically been that the greater part of the community's output basically completely elides the "puzzle" dimension of the "precision puzze platformer" formula.
Sure, custom full campaigns like Glyph or Into the Jungle have a fair amount of puzzling, but in the one-off maps it's more often than not entirely absent – and look, I get it. One-off maps are usually aimed at speedrunners, and speedrunning is mostly about iterating on known routes; in that context, having to fuck around trying to decipher the developer's batshit moon logic and figure out what the map actually wants you to do would just be an unwelcome distraction. I'm a puzzle fan and I'm allowed to be annoyed by it anyway.
That's a big part of why I've really enjoyed how the Strawberry Jam collab makes a conscious effort to foreground the more puzzle-centric side of play – it feels like there's a real recognition I've rarely seen elsewhere that this aspect of the core game is just as worthy of attention as the speed tech.
It does, however, still rank the maps purely by the difficulty of their speed tech execution, without reference to how challenging the puzzles are, which makes for some... interesting choices for inclusion in the "Beginner" lobby. If you've played it, you know what I mean!
