Easy but very enjoyable
A candle walks on Light burns through endless darkness Each step costs its flame
I really enjoyed this puzzle platformer, colours look incredible on an OLED screen. The overall concept is pretty simple but some parts can become pretty difficult. I struggled a bit with the checkpoint candles, it's a shame if you have low wax when you get there - you have low wax when you return upon dying which often makes a level difficult to complete. Overall great fun, give it a go if you haven't already.
Thumbs way up for this stellar game of navigation through a myriad of exquisite artwork scenery...caves, swamps, warehouse, lighthouse, inside the belly of a ship, etc. all with challenging but doable platformer mechanics. It is divided up into bitesize segments for convenient save points and the fairy tale story is well done, to boot. This game also gives new meaning to the phrase, "Flick my Bic" (look it up) in collecting the candlelighting achievements....did I get them all?...heck no but it was fun trying. I've played over 150 games and this one is in the top 2 (Little Nightmares 2 ranks #1).

What initially appears to be a modest indie platformer gradually reveals itself as an artistic experience centered around hope, vulnerability, and perseverance, all wrapped inside one of the most visually striking uses of light and darkness in modern gaming. The story follows a small candle who awakens alone in darkness and becomes fascinated by the distant glow of a lighthouse far beyond the horizon. Motivated by curiosity and the desire to reach the light, the little candle begins a dangerous journey through strange and often dreamlike environments. The narrative remains intentionally minimalist throughout the experience, relying on visual storytelling, environmental symbolism, and short poetic narration rather than lengthy dialogue or cinematic exposition. This subtle a…
it was really fun if you like nice simple puzzle and a cute story
