What Steam players say

Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.

✦ AI summary

Candle is praised for its stunning hand-painted watercolor art style, engaging story, well-composed soundtrack, and clever puzzle design that balances platforming with brain-teasers. However, players frequently criticize the clunky controls and unresponsive character movement, which make platforming sections frustrating and lead to deaths that feel unfair rather than earned, with occasional visibility issues in puzzles adding to the difficulty.

Recommended Aug 6, 2026
Positive: - map, animations and music are very well made; - well written story with perfect length; - good balance of platformer and puzzle gaming. Negative: - 2 or 3 situations where clue is missing, or the player gets stuck on platform mechanics

Graphics: 9/10 — hand-painted watercolor style, sobrang unique. Puzzles: 8/10 — challenging pero minsan nakakainis dahil may mga bagay na mahirap makita.

[h1] PROS: [/h1] [list] [*] Beautiful hand-painted watercolor art style that gives the game a unique identity. [*] Strong voice acting that helps bring the characters and world to life. [*] Plenty of funny moments and decent humor throughout the adventure. [*] Excellent soundtrack that perfectly complements the atmosphere. [*] Some genuinely creative and clever puzzles. [*] Lots of amusing and often unexpected ways to die. [*] Decent story. [/list] [h1] CONS: [/h1] [list] [*] The controls, character movement, and overall gameplay feel clunky and unresponsive. [*] Platforming sections are frustrating because precise movement is required, but the controls don't support it well. Many jumps feel unreliable, leading to deaths that feel unfair rather than deserved. [*] Gameplay becomes annoying surprisingly quickly. [*] Some puzzles are poorly explained or too vague, making progress feel more like trial and error than problem-solving. [*] Frequent deaths stop being funny after a while and become frustrating. [/list] [h1] OVERALL: [/h1] his is one of those games that constantly fights against itself. On one hand, it has a gorgeous hand-pai…
