Have you played Super Meat Boy? That's the same sub-genre Celeste falls into. It exceeds it and is the best in the genre in my opinion and is easily recommended.
There is a physical version to preorder on Limited Run Games
here. I'm very glad they are doing it this way so stock isn't limited and sold out immediately (although it was already with the collector's edition yesterday)
I missed out on the Collector's edition yesterday and was sad - but happy to pre-order the physical anyway (though for me Switch is a digital console really, I just fancy the souvenir of my time with the game).
Also: appears to be more of those scarves on that site compared to the merch site - so I was happily surprised and ordered that too!
Also: Celeste is akin to Meat Boy in its bite-sized challenge screens, but also has other styles such as the environmental detective work of finding the strawberries and so on. So I think it's probably a hybrid of Meat Boy style and more traditional exploratory platformers.
