Madeline in Hallownest

Play Hollow Knight as Celeste's Madeline. She drops into King's Pass with her real sprites, animations and hair, read at launch from your own Celeste install — so both games are really in it, and nothing of Celeste ships in this download.

Your dash is your weapon

• Dash in all eight directions (d-pad, keys or analogue stick). Every dash swings Hallownest's own hit along its path, so it kills bugs, cuts grass, breaks walls and pulls levers, and still fills your soul.
• Hit an enemy and you bounce off it with your dash back: chain dashes from bug to bug, Celeste-style.
• Down-dash onto spikes to pogo off them and refill your dashes. Acid, lava and pits stay deadly.
• Madeline's hair shows your dashes: red when ready, blue when spent, pink when you have two.

Hollow Knight's abilities, Celeste style

• Mantis Claw gives Madeline her Celeste grab: hold your attack button on a wall to climb with stamina, climb-jump and wall-jump.
• Monarch Wings give her a second air dash.
• Mothwing Cloak makes every dash reach about 20% farther.

What you need

• Hollow Knight (current Steam version) and Celeste. Press Play: Melty installs the Hollow Knight Modding API and tells the mashup where your Celeste is.
• Single player. Your nail is replaced by the dash; spells and charms work as usual.

Planning on adding
-Strawberries and Crystal hearts and Theo as a shop
-Multiplayer (not in this version yet: it is single player for now)
-Randomizer
