very creative idea for this theme. i like it :)

Very Interesting Game I liked it and the graphics and animations were nice. Only thing is i was stuck on the walls a few time not sure whats causing that :)

Wow, it's like Don't Starve but without survival elements. I like the concept of sacrificing candle liquid in order to get more light to navigate through maze. :)

Excellent use of theme, and great presentation. I did find the html5 version of the game a bit not fun, got stuck on walls etc, but not bad!

I like the idea of the candle lighing up its own way!

Enjoyed playing the game nice graphics,theme and mood. only feedback would be sometimes it was hard on the browser to make a turn around a corner and maybe the scream at the start was a little to loud Rip headphone users :). overall it was an amazing experience :)

Clever idea for a game!
I wish the controls were taught over a larger span of time; I had to play it a couple of times in order to understand how to properly use 1, 2, 3 and 4.
I also wish the floor was a little bit more clear in terms of contrast, sometimes I thought I could walk one way only to realize the path didn't connect.

I really did like the idea though! The candle was also really charming- His face made me chuckle when I saw him!
Audio is also very well made- although needs some volume adjustments.

Good job on this project- it's definitely something to be proud of!
Good luck on your future projects!

Also a huge thanks for playing our game "Shortcut to Game-Dev Success", doing so helped me find your project :D

I had a lot of fun! The game is very creative and the art is looking superb. I really like how you got to sacrifice yourself to light up the area to find your way. One problem I found was when I try to turn around the corner the player would often get stuck and get I would lose the game. But overall I think the game fit the theme very well and is a very fun game.

I had a blast! One of the more unusual — not to mention fun — games here.

Thanks for every feedback. I, Candle is our first Ludum Dare project and I am happy to see good reviews here. Enjoy friends!

I had fun with this and as a first entry this is solid. Nice work!

Cool game! Way more fast paced than i originally thought, i like it!
One suggestion is to make the player slide through the walls, got a little stuck once in a while, but nothing major.

That hand is scary :p I like it ^^

Congrats ! I love the pun on "i can't" "i candle" :D Nice art style, sounds are super cool (that scream at the end !)

Very fun game ! You nailed this theme :)

Ha! I love this game. It's nicely paced, the graphics are fun and the music fits it all to a T. Also when you get caught, I had to laugh at the text you get. For a first LD, this was definitely a hit. Looking forward to your next one. :-)

I don't have a qwerty keyboard so it's very hard for me to play this game. Try to give the player options between WASD/ZQSD/arrows when it's possible (it's possible with your game).

Other than that, it's a fun game, the graphics are good, the sound design is well-done, you integrated the theme into your gameplay mechanics, congrats :)

Really nice idea stick nicely to the team.
The zoom out zoom in really nice.
Good entry

Nice work!

I like the graphics and the animations.Good job

Loved the art style and animation.

Holy candle that was great! It was really fun and I love the interpretation of the theme. <3

This game is very challenging! Nice work anyways ;)

Nice contribution, I wondered how many dead ends can a maze have... I think I visited all of them. Good job

Nice game, maze generation is cool, graphics are good! With a score system would be a fun game to challenge with friends.

Well done! Good game with nice graphics. Really like the melting idea. I struggled a bit finding where I was meant to and got a bit stuck but it's a really cool game overall!

A super funny little game. Well done.

wow! :D very good fit for the theme! well done!

it is excellent) starting from the music and ending with what this candle looks like) an interesting approach to gameplay) you are great!)

Good work! The texture for the wooden floor is confusing though, since some of the gaps in the floor look like little walls(because they are dark).

Nice entry ! Very creative, fun and challenging.
A suggestion though : it can be very frustrating to be blocked at a turn because you are not perfectly aligned with the corridor you wish to go through, so maybe you could add some sort of slide to make it more permissive ?

Is this a new Beauty and the Beast reboot? Because I'd watch that.


I really like it when people at the LD make simple, to-the-point concepts, that are very easy to get instead of trying too hard to be clever. The use of the sacrifice theme is quite clear in this project, and it makes up for very appealing gameplay. Sacrificing for just a bit more of visibility is something I'm yet to see, which I applaud.

The animations and music are great, and the effects are very atmospheric. My only complain would be that, in comparison, the yelling at the start felt very loud, even though it was quite funny. But it wasn't a big inconvenience.

Anyhow, fantastic work there. [My team](discord.whalesandgames.com) salutes your cleverness. Keep up the good work! :whale:

kinda fun. its a bit stressed to be followed by those giant hands!

Very well made. I have just one suggestion. I do not like that the walls are "sticky", meaning that one can not move up if there is a wall on the right side while you also press that direction. This makes the player get stuck in some cross sections in stressful situations. But good game!

Hey,

I appreciate the idea but some fact triggerd me
Your game is well realised for a first participation in Jam.
But (perhaps I'm wrong) there is no good end.
The collision are oppresive (because the path is very tiny).

If you want more 'comfort' for non qwerty user, think to use the arrow key for movement.
